So far a good successor without the rogue like elements - after 10 hours of completionist run i barely scratched the surface. Graphics are marvelous. I loved flying the stealth scout in ES 1 so the starter ship feels a little slow - but i guess i will be able to switch ships soonish.
...then this game should be yours. The start is relativly easy but later challanges are tough to conquer. Every successful step of your space program will be very satisfying. (First Orbit, First flyby of the muns, Landing there, First docking in space) For all of this achievments there are also tutorials in game and in youtube... You will be constantly learning things about real world aerospace and physics. Give it a try - there is an up to date demo! The full game will be content updated for the next time so it is worth every Cent. The game is practically free of bugs The downside of KerbalSpaceProgram is: after playing this game a while, movies like Gravity or Star Wars will appear physically incorrect ;) Happy launchings!
