The best game I've ever encountered

I may be overexcited, but after 50 hours of gameplay, I've never been so happy with a game and so willing to go on for more and more gameplay. I'm a simpleton when it comes to gaming — I play games like GTA IV, Quake III and Diablo II (the latter has eaten a lot of my life since 2001). Kerbal Space Program is, however, my ultimate gaming experience so far. I haven't even sent a probe to the Mun yet, but I have plenty to do before doing that basic (in space exploration terms) thing. Yes, it's basic, because in KSP you have not just Kerbin (Earth), but Kerbol (Sun), Moho (Mercury), Eve (Venus), Gilly, Mun, Minmus, Duna (Mars), Ike, Dres (Ceres), Jool (Jupiter), Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, Pol, Eeloo (Pluto). "With the outermost dwarf planet Eeloo the Kerbol System reaches up to 113 549 713 200 m (about 113.5 Gm or 0.76 AU) out into space". This is A LOT OF STUFF TO EXPLORE. The music is fun, but there should've been more tracks, IMHO. The graphics are OK and are not really important for that kind of game. The game takes 2 GB on your HDD and this deserves my admirations! Don't hesitate to buy this! You will not just have fun, but you will learn new things and will grasp important astrophysical concepts. You have fun and you gain knowledge — this is not something you want to miss. Of course IRL space exploration missions are way more complicated and involve way more resources (money, time and people). Firing a simple sattelite IRL is not a one-man chore, but involves supercomputers that calcute your route and... But, hey, that's just a game and it takes two gigabyes of storage! :D And you still can learn something! For twenty bucks what's there to miss?

Game that is really for everyone

Game that kept me longest (excluding online games like WoW and LoL i played alot), while it didn't intrigue me with story of other titles like Dragon Age: Origins which I just adore, it's gameplay, exploration, challenge of success and finally reward of achieving goals is magnificent. I still remember my first Mün landing. I was hating sci-fi and after KSP I hate it even more because how unrealistic it is so I played a lot of Mount&Blade: Warband but after discovering this game I was just amazed how game I saw before and said "meh it's some sci-fi stupid space shit". First achievment I did was get in orbit and that feel of satisfaction, then mun landing and minmus, then Duna and somewhere about that point you just want mods and realism they offer, after that you dream about getting job in NASA or ESA because "LOOK AT ME I'AM ROCKET SCIENTIST!". Seriously, get this game and atleast try it.

You need this game

Fantastic game. Build rockets. Launch them. Build bigger, crazier ones. Visit new worlds and crash-land on them. Watch your creations explode horribly. Or try to rescue your kerbal when you realise one you reach a high suborbital arc that you forgot a parachute for the lander module ... and you don't have enough fuel to enter orbit. Only reason it's not 5* is some lingering bugs and gameplay issues (tech tree exhaustion, somewhat repetitive science system).

Best Game EVER!!!

This game is the best game i have ever played, one thing that makes it good is the fact that once you get bored, you always want to play it again later on. You always come back to KSP, no matter how bored you got, you will always play it again. That is the main reason KSP is great. Other than that, who doesn't like blowing things up??

Kerbal Space Program

First of all I did play the game on Steam and not on GOG. So I do not know if there are very big differences, but I agree that the game still requires a lot of work. Controls can get iffy at times, there are time compression issues, world detail issues, sometimes physics are a bit off and feel awkward. But actually despite its flaws it is still a good game and I can acknowledge that the developers put a lot of love, time and work in it. The game does not claim to be having the best physics engine and that shows in certain moments, but it is still a game and not a sim. But having said that I feel, making the game even harder will scare more people away and this is really only for people that "that like the genre" or people that love space games or are invested in this kind of games. In case you are not then this game is very likely not for you. Other than that I paid 28 euro for it and I think for this, it is quite steep for the game. In case you are still reading on and you are interested in the game. Then I have one tip for you. Buy the game, but buy it when it costs less than 10 or 15 dollar/ euro instead.
