I can't believe I waited so long...
Fantastic and massively addictive once you pass the steep-ish learning curve. I wanted this back in 2012/13 when it was released but I'm old skool and resented paying £30 for a game with no disc or manual - god was I a fool... One month in and I'd totally mastered landing, deploying standalone science experiments, and interplanetary transfers. Two months in and I've landed on Eve (this is hard), I've setup my own Comm Sat network and have my self-designed Rover (with a self-righting mechanism!) on nearly every planet and moon in the entire system. What I particularly love about this game is that it encourages RL (real life) behaviours, e.g. after a dozen launches you are going to end up with a lot of space debris (spent boosters, decouplers, etc) in orbit. Now, you can just 'kill' them, but it's far more fun to make a reusable Space Shuttle Grabber, rendezvous with the debris, grab it, and then de-orbit it so it burns up in the atmosphere - you can even spin your grabber ship in circles a few times, release the debris at the right time, and use centripetal acceleration to give the debris an even bigger kick backwards. I don't know anything about this spyware??? I only ever start the game up when I'm offline so I say Mwa-ha-ha-ha to the spyware guys - fill your boots. Fave Kerbonaut: gotta be Valentina with the bonkers eyes... I wonder if Valentina Tereskova likes the game :)
Is this helpful to you?
