Kerbal Space Program - Review

The Kerbin Solar System

Title:
Kerbal Space Program

Platform:
PC

Who:
You the Kerbals, Third Person.

What:
Part building system in sections and flight simulator. Player is given navigation readouts and an interactive 3d radar to launch ships into space.

When:
Released April 2015.

Where:
Kerbin, an Earth twin in a similar Solar System.

Why:
Space Simulator from start to finish.

Significance:

Career and sandbox modes allow players to experience the challenges of space exploration.

Pros:
Ability to mod give this game its edge: more parts, different physics, multiplayer, autopilot, etc. A uniquely potent creative simulation game with a simple premise.

Cons:
Atmospheric flight is consistently broken: nerf-football physics. Part balancing is an issue. Lack of end-game sense of achievement.
