Kerbal Space Program Reviews
Kerbal Space Program is a deep, funny, and detailed physics sim that never takes itself too seriously.
A perfect blend of science and slapstick, and a robust and compelling sandbox of possibility. Simply outstanding.
An essential sandbox for anyone with an interest in space, rocketry, or explosions.
KSP provides fun on different levels of engagement, from tinkering with unlimited funds in the sandbox to create cool or outlandish ships to tackling the dizzyingly difficult career mode.
Kerbal Space Program is a monumental, exhilarating, and frustrating gaming achievement worthy of admiration.
In Kerbal Space Program, we have a perfect game of experimentation. Checking to see what goes wrong and correcting your next trial accordingly. When struggling with my first launches and landings, and the tricky controls, I was close to believing it was a game of impossible luck. But it is so far from that as to make the initial belief laughable. Instead, it is about accruing and applying small units of knowledge, one on top of the other.
Kerbal Space Program is a rare game, an unbelievably good simulator that unfortunately suffers from a being a fairly poor port from PC to console.
A great game but not the best port that we've seen due it's awful controls and the lack of modding on the console versions.

Kerbal Space Program is a multigeneric game designed for the user to create their own space program. Will you be able to match Americans on their way to the Moon?

"Kerbal" is best appreciated as a space for lingering contemplation spread across three radically different dimensions of experience — the theoretical, cinematic, and subjective. Like space travel itself, the deeper one goes, the greater the sense of smallness, creating a burgeoning humility for how much is still undiscovered.
Even the smallest accomplishments feel like massive victories, and once you experience that euphoria, you won't want to quit. Watch your ambition soar.
An inspired mix of real science, sandbox gameplay, and space simulation – that is both a lot more entertaining and a lot more accessible than you'd expect.
Kerbal Space Program is one of the most educational games I have played in years. While I'm nowhere equipped to apply for the ESA or NASA Kerbal Space Program does make understanding the science of space travel easier to digest. It is a complicated game but offers a real sense of achievement when you get something right. There are a couple of issues when it comes to the actual user experience, like the movement of non fixed cameras and text sizes, but even if you have just a small interest in Space travel then this is recommended.
An inspired mix of real science, sandbox gameplay, and space simulation – that is both a lot more entertaining and a lot more accessible than you'd expect.
While the extremely high level of difficulty at the start can be daunting for newcomers, the level of detail and realism mixed into the building and flying segments make it well worth the time spent learning in Kerbal Space Program.
If you want to go where no Kerbal has gone before, at a rate faster than our own Earthly space programs, I would put Kerbal Space Program at the top of your list. Get stuck in to the breath-taking beauty of space, and take all the screenshots.
One thing should be noted: you will fail, and then fail some more.
Kerbal Space Program is just that, a program concerning space and the computations of getting a craft in space and making the trip alive. There is plenty of room for human error and it can also be a bit trial by error, but if it's a genre that players can appreciate or get into, there isn't anything quite like it on consoles. That said, it's a tough to learn, it's rough around the edges, and there isn't really an easy way to get accustomed to the game even with the tutorials. Recommend only for the most hardcore of space simulation fans and patience is a must.
Kerbal Space Program more than a game is a hobby apart: a product that will push you to visit forums and not video games, to be interested in stars, zero gravity maneuvers, programming, aerodynamics and logic. Unmissable.

We had done it, we had made it by combining everyone's ideas, we had made it thanks to a free afternoon that perhaps I will never forget. Kerbal is this: it sharpens mathematics, pushes for deepening and sometimes, sorry if it is little, also strengthens friendship.
