Great Sandbox Game, IN SPACE!

Hello! I have played Kerbal Space Program on steam for 80 hours, and it is one of the best games that I have ever played, I started out by messing around with random stuff in the game for the first 48 hours, but than I really started to get into career mode! TO ALL OF THE NEW PLAYERS! If you are considering getting into KSP, you should really start in career mode, it gives you a chance to learn the game and get fimiliar with parts, also Career is the most complete version of the game, as well, there is a lot more to do in carrer mode. KSP has really great mechanics and a great learning system, you can even take a tutorial when the game boots up! There are a lot of things that you can do in KSP, including. Make spaceships and Planes, Explore sites on planets, (including the starting one), Go into space, go into orbit around planets, go to both moons, go to all of the planets in the game, create planet bases, create space stations, create sapce planes, AND if you somehow get bored of all of that, than there are even MODS! It is a great game, and I reccomend it to anyone that wants a good challenge and light hearted game!

Truly engrossing - many layers

It took me while, to come around to this game. Despite the non-stop 5 star reviews. Finally grabbed it on sale last year, and I have been engrossed ever since. Start by learning basic bit. Launch. Get to space. Learn to orbit. Then transfer to the Mun (moon). Each stage requires different techniques and different build of rocket, building on what was previously learned. Time to land on the Mun and return? May need to rethink your design. That's when you realize you played 10's or scores of hours and didn't even realize it...and you only went to the first body...there's another moon...and more planets...with their own moons! You start cracking open tons of incredible, community made mods to help with some of the more routine tasks that you have proven you can do - like Kerbal Engineer and MechJeb. Then you really delve in...and hundreds of hours pass over the next year,,,and you're...still...playing...like its the first time! I can't give this enough stars. My entertainment costs right now are only $0.06/hour for this game LOL.

I learned something useful

Was not expecting this game to have semi real orbital mechanics, aerodynamics and real world units (not in all cases). I just started the game, but already have a much better understand of how orbits work all while playing a game - pretty neat!

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.
