There have been a lot of bad reviews and winning from the so called experts about Kerbal 2 release but I’m enjoying the heck out of it!
People always have to have something to complain about but they fail to remember that all early releases of any game or simulator aren’t without bugs and hiccups. In time they are always patched, fixed, an or improved. Many have asked for refunds? For 49 dollars? Really. This points out to me these people are operating 10 year old machines that won’t perform well with this 2023 release. I’m running on a 4 year old machine with a 1080 card and a bunch of ram and it’s smooth without issues.
In the meantime I embrace anything like Kerbal 2. With all the war games, violence, killing each other, end of the world armageddon and the rest of these types of games that palithorate the game market, this breath of fresh air. In my opinion they are just bad for the human spirit.
This sim has no weapons or space wars. It teaches you space flight, allows you to build space vehicles and explore space, land on planets and explore.
It teaches you basic aerospace engineering and what it takes to build a launch vehicle and successfully launch it and return it and your astronaut safely to the planet. You can build anything from a simple one stage sub orbital flight to something more sophisticated that you can take to the moon and beyond.
I highly recommend you show this to your kids, especially if they have an interest in space flight. Letting them play endlessly violent video games can serve little or know purpose. I used to play them myself. I was a big fan of the BattleField series. And then what day I just asked myself, what am I doing.
Since then it’s all been about flying and space exploration. I have a saying, make spaceships, not war.
