Kerbal Space Program Reviews
Several times, I've taken to the skies and exploded. Several times, I've wanted to snatch a Kerbal by his unconcerned cheeks and scream, "Don't just sit there in slack-jawed amazement! Fly this thing, dammit!" But with all that failure and frustration followed intense self-congratulation -- the moment I realized I got a ship shaped like a pizza to fly, or the second I safely returned my Kerbal physicist from a successful Mun (Moon) orbit. Through persistence, trial-and-error, and learning the fundamentals of actual space travel, I somehow met with success. It's the type of success that's intoxicating, and, if you have a penchant for physics or space exploration, completely necessary.
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.

Even the smallest accomplishments feel like massive victories, and once you experience that euphoria, you won't want to quit. Watch your ambition soar.
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.
It is without a doubt that both the 'Making History' and 'Breaking Ground' expansions bring a lot to 'Kerbal Space Program'. The addition of new features, game mechanics and parts have been well thought out and add an enormous amount of gameplay possibilities. One thing I really like about these expansions is that there is something for everyone regardless of what skill level or how long they've been playing for. I do highly recommend these expansions for anyone who is a fan of KSP and want to get the most out of the game. My only issue is that KSP is still a really tricky game and I feel that a bit more could have been done to improve the tutorial and how to use these new features.
Kerbal space program is more than a game. It's a teacher, a guide and a key to understanding how the universe works.

Kerbal Space Program's selling price is moderately steep even during sale events, but the sheer amount of gameplay hours you can get from it is all worth it. The mere fact that there's some real science going on behind the game is telling us that this game is no joke.
When you plan the flight, build the shuttle, finance the whole thing, and bring your crew back safely, you feel like a superhero.
Kerbal Space Program is exactly as fun as it seems, with challenge and entertainment to spare.
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.
Kerbal Space Program is a monumental, exhilarating, and frustrating gaming achievement worthy of admiration.
Kerbal Space Program is a deep, funny, and detailed physics sim that never takes itself too seriously.
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?

A perfect blend of science and slapstick, and a robust and compelling sandbox of possibility. Simply outstanding.
Kerbal Space Program isn't just a fantastic space game. It's one of those games that makes you glad you play on PC, because it could only come to exist on PC.
I love space and Kerbal Space Program.
"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.
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.
An essential sandbox for anyone with an interest in space, rocketry, or explosions.
