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

Is Kerbal Space Program 2 worth playing for someone who had fun with but was bad at 1?
Reviews are - not good.

It’s absolutely not “hot garbage”, but it’s definitely not done.

It’s terrible. They released an Alpha at full price. They changed how building rockets was done, for the worse. Performance was horrible even on my 3080 and aside from prettier graphics, there was nothing really new to explore. It it were cheaper, I’d be kinder. If it performed decently I wouldn’t mind but they released a POS of a game knowing full well KSP1 owners would buy it and it made us all look like suckers. They knew they released an incomplete game at full price and didn’t deliver. That sir is hot garbage.

Betzer KSP 1 and full-out modding?

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.

Hmm maybe I’ll check it on in 5 years. Cos holly hell that price! Priced like a AAA game.

Priced like a AAA game.
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”.

Not really, the first one was better in pretty much every single regard.
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I haven’t really been following because the first was just beyond me…how did they fuck up part 2?
Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

The problem was not only the state they released it. It was the price they wanted for it. 50€ for a game in alpha ?

Man that’s been the case with these sequels to games I really loved. Happened to Cities Skylines as well, and at first it seemed like that’s happened with Helldivers but it turns out it was so good it just ruined the servers.
