Goated space game. Canon event: pressing the space bar and the rocket doesn't liftoff at all even though all boosters are going. (and Jebidiah being lost forever and ever) :D Installing mods (using CKAN, there's no way in hell I'd want to find and install 50 million dependecies manually) makes the game so much crazier and improves the graphics so much. Using just a few visual enhancement mods, it looks so much nicer and doesn't tank the performance when I run it on my laptop 💀. But very few mods can be used and it can make the experience so much better such as Deferred Rendering, Firefly, RealPlume, etc. There is a huge learning curve to figuring out what parts a basic spaceship needs and how to set the stages (it counts down, not up) properly. Also sometimes there's issues with fuel leaking from one tank to another and I'm not sure why that happens?? The tutorials in the game give a really basic overview to be able to get a spaceship into space and back down to the surface *with that specific setup*. Anything more than that requires tutorials from YouTube (there are literally thousands) and **a lot** of trial and error. The Breaking Grounds DLC is very useful in making more things such as space stations (along with mods that add even more space station parts and features). The other DLC isn't as useful unless you're really into history (which I wasn't) but I'd suggest buying it during a sale instead of full-price. Overall the game is awesome and please never buy KSP 2. Please don't. 🙏 RIP Jebidiah. Gone and almost forgotten. (his spaceship is marked as debris) 😔
10/10 game, i love putting everyone into one ship and throwing them into the sun.
This game taught me that I'm a menace to the very concept of having any comprehension of aeronautics or rocket science. 8🚀/10🌛 R.I.P. little green bros.
I love kerbal space program. i started playing acouple months ago and have learned many things, for example, never think you have enough deltav, because you'll almost never be right. This game is frustrating and yet extremely rewarding at certain points. 4.5/5 PS. Bob and Jebadiah are currently drifting in a capsule orbiting the mun, F to pay respects
