Kerbal Space Program review

Kerbs2

On the back of science, yearning and, yes, a nearly apocalyptic competition between two superpowers, we strapped people into giant combustible machines and shot them out of our planet. We did that, and it was amazing. Kerbal Space Program is a brilliant game for a lot of reasons. It’s brilliant because of the robust simulation, because of the satisfying design tools, because of the variety and options, and because of the spectacular community that has generated hundreds of mods, guides and videos designed to help you achieve whatever you want to do. Most of all, though, it’s brilliant because it holds a mirror up to one of humanity’s greatest achievements, and only does so when you have the greatest possible appreciation for the skill, dedication and courage involved. It’s a rare and wonderful game, and deserves the strongest possible recommendation.

– Me, giving Kerbal Space Program PC Gamer UK’s highest honour.
