This game is darn near perfect. Do you fancy spaceflight? Like building things? You've got it all here. If you've already been accustomed to other spaceflight games with the little green men, its like that, but prettier looking. The building is smooth. Once you get familiar with hotkeys and the fine details, this becomes a very satisfying way to construct any vehicle you desire. With a fun career mode, being able to start with hobby size rockets, to working your way up to heavy launch vehicles. The career seems laid out very similar to how a modern rocket company would make profit. A customer providing a payload, while you provide the launch vehicle to reach the desired orbit. With other challenges to further progress you company. While sometimes repetitive, the missions do eventually become more difficult, and will further challenge your orbital abilities. I do with there was a little more complexity when it comes to spacecraft communication,science, and some other things similar to KSP. This game will make you a nerd, even if you don't realize in the moment. I do feel like maybe the physics simulation when it comes to making airplanes is kind of strange. Just compared to a lot of other high fidelity simulators I have played. I must be an engineering genius, because every aircraft I make has the most insane ability to glide. Sometimes making landings hard when you're actually trying to bleed off speed. But that could be solved with airbrakes and whatnot. With all that I could not recommend this game more. With 921 hours logged as of now, I can say if you have the slightest niche for this style of game, you will enjoy it as much as I have.

Pretty cool game if you're into aerospace engineering. It has surprisingly good graphics, and I've encountered very little bugs and the ones I have encountered were harmless. JNO for sure has it's issues, but its an amazing game, and is a sort of spiritual successor to KSP (we don't talk about KSP2.)

Very much recommend. Its up there with Kerbal Space Program in my opinion as one of the best spaceflight sims/sandboxes. There are quite a few differences though, which I'll go over. Unlike KSP, Juno uses a fully procedural building style. Effectively all parts can be resized and/or reshaped to fit your specific needs (if you've played Simple Planes or used the Procedural Parts mod in KSP, you're familiar with this). Even engines have these options so they can be optimized for the environment they'll be used in. The solar system is about double the size of the one in KSP, which you'll immediately notice when trying to get into orbit as Droo is about 1275km in diameter (as opposed to Kerbin's 600km). The maneuver system is quite nice (though you do have to unlock it about halfway down the tech tree) and I prefer it over KSP's. the little pull handles can have their sensitivity adjusted, and you can input specific delta-V values if the handles aren't precise enough. The game also has a few autopilot features ( similar to the Mechjeb mod for KSP), it can automatically perform maneuvers and even has an aircraft autopilot (though I've not used planes very much, let alone the aircraft autopilot). On top of that, for the especially nerdy among you, there's a scripting feature (again, similar to the kOS mod for KSP) where you can use blockly-style programming to automate your spacecraft! The art direction is also very different from KSP, and I think it does lack some of the charm of KSP. Of course, because this isn't KSP, you don't have Kerbals, you have Droods, which are basically just astronauts. Aside from that, the vehicles typically look fairly minimalist, and the planets honestly look gorgeous! Especially with the Parallax mod installed (which is easy due to the built-in mod menu and folder). Meanwhile KSP stock certainly looks like a game from 2013, and with mods to make it look nice takes forever to load. On the topic of mods, both have easily accessible ways of heavily modifying the game, but Juno doesn't have all that many mods, only a couple pages on the official repository. If you're thinking of buying this game, but have no grasp of how orbital mechanics work, I recommend playing KSP first. The game is still super silly and fun and the planetary system and sandbox are more forgiving than JNO, it'll be easier for you to learn this way. Once you've figured things out, though, I do feel like Juno is a great game to play if you get tired of KSP and vice-versa.

Runs a lot better than KSP and more customisation! Although lacks some of the charm, makes up in other areas

Came back to this game a few years after they stopped calling it simple rockets 2. I think this its great and I love how it stands apart from KSP in good ways. They really nailed the rocket editor and I thinks its awesome how you can program flights. There's a lot of obviously cool things like how you can tweak every part's size and shape, but I really like the little details. I like the feel of the Nav Sphere surrounding the rocket, I like the missions and how they incorporate tutorials instead of having tutorials separate, and I like how you can go back to the editor and the rocket you just built doesn't just F*CKING disappear. So anyways yeah, check it out when you have 20 bucks to spare
