    Is Kerbal Space Program 2 worth playing for someone who had fun with but was bad at 1?

    Reviews are - not good.

      Not really, the first one was better in pretty much every single regard.

          They released the game early access, so everyone was expecting a perfect game from the start because of how much development went into 1. Honestly, while 2 had issues, the game engine is much better than 1, they just needed to bake it more, like several years more, before releasing it hot off the heels of 1.

      In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).

      With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.

          It is a AAA game. It stopped being an indie when Take Two bought it from Squad.

            Why are we defending publishers and letting them get away with using this term this way? The term should be earned for its content and quality. AAA should not mean “large studio”.

            This whole “we are a AAA studio”, when they haven’t even made a game and got the business license the day before is fucking stupid as shit. Don’t use the terms the way they want it to be used.

      Nope. It’s hot garbage and I say that as someone with over 2000 hours in KSP.
