The learning curve isn’t just steep, its a sheer rock face, and this is in part where the biggest problem is, regardless of the being an Enhanced Edition. Kerbal Space Program is an impenetrable game for all but the most persistent of players. I have spent much of my time in the Career mode, trying to create a space program from scratch. You can play in one of three modes: Sandbox which has all the items unlocked for you to play around with and create whatever you want to, Science which requires you to perform research to gain points to spend on a development tree, and Career mode which, along with research experiments, also has the Mission Control module unlocked to carry out projects which will provide monetary value, research points and reputation boosts. When I first did it I was reaching for the NASA application form, confident in my new found physics prowess. The moment you manage to punch through the atmosphere of Kerbin to enter space, perform a small orbit of the planet and more importantly land the command module back down to safety cannot be over-emphasised. The premise is very alluring, and Kerbal manages to make you feel equal parts rocket scientist genius and utter moron who can’t tell up from down. The core game of Kerbal Space Program remains the same from two years ago: to design, develop and manage your very own space programme.
The Enhanced Edition still lags slightly behind the PC version, but it is now much more in line with that experience.
The developer has tried to address the issues that the first release was accused off with a more streamlined UI for console, as well as better game stability and version updates. Kerbal Space Program is a game that absolutely deserves to be played and the Enhanced Edition is now available for console players boasting a version written from the ground up specifically for console. Furthermore, it crashed frequently and my conclusion was that Kerbal Space Program was, and is, a fascinating and absorbing semi-realistic space sim, let down by a scrappy port.ĭespite developing a passionate and enthusiastic following on PC, the console version failed to make any impact, which is a huge shame. I reviewed the console release of Kerbal Space Program back in July 2016 and while I liked the core premise very much the game itself proved to be a poor PC port with tiny writing and confusing non-intuitive controls.
