Kerbal Space Program 2

Kerbal Space Program 2 is one of the most disappointing sequels in recent gaming memory. Launching into early access with severe performance issues, missing features, and less content than the decade-old original, it failed to justify its existence from day one. The improved tutorials and onboarding are genuinely welcome additions, and the visual upgrade is noticeable, but these cannot compensate for the fundamental problems: poor frame rates even on powerful hardware, buggy physics, and the absence of promised features like colonies, interstellar travel, and multiplayer. The development was ultimately cancelled with Intercept Games closing before the game could reach its vision. What remains is an incomplete, inferior version of the original KSP at a premium price point. The ambition was laudable -- interstellar travel and colonization would have been transformative -- but ambition without execution means little. Players seeking space simulation should stick with the original KSP and its excellent modding community.
