a bit overwhelming at first but easy to get the hang of once you're in it. It's fun to see real milestones that led to the current state of space exploration

I choose to play this game. I choose to play this game at this time and do other things, not because they are easy (even though I set it to easy mode), but because they are hard (the hardest part was hoping that I could collect all the tokens in time to complete the mission or get the bonus credit). You get to manage the space group of your choice (Space X not included yet) and launch your own missions to the moon, mars, and further! Maneuver brain-stimulating mini games (depending on your difficulty of choice) and settle diplomatic resolutions with both other countries and the public (they're usually easy choices) to grow your space organization to be the best, brightest, fastest, or coolest there is! AWESOME 'Space Tycoon Simulator' game with near-lore-accurate events and fascinating management gameplay mechanics. Highly recommended to anyone who likes space and managing space missions with some mini games here and there. Now, set coordinates to the nearest play button.. and..... Engage...!

This is pretty good. The wee mission levels can get a bit tedious though. Wish there was a way to auto-resolve more frequently. Managed to complete the game in 19 hours. Still a bunch of achievements to unlock and plenty more to play. If you're a space enthusiast, this will itch that spot. Worth it when on sale. Sadly, I did loose 3 astronauts. RIP lil' buddies.

If KSP was a management sim instead of flight/orbit sim, this would be it. I thought I would miss the flight and orbital mechanics more than I did playing this game. This game does a great job of putting you at the entry point of the space race and all the milestones seem to hit in a reasonable time frame. No achieving low orbit in 1958 then landing someone on the moon in 2006. The pacing is perfect, if not a little hurried at times due to being in competition with other agencies. There are almost an overwhelming amount of things to do, and not enough resources to do them in, which feels appropriate. You have to prioritize and execute based on that. The game is truly a blast (pun intended), and has a few game play tweeks you can make which will make it more or less challenging in different aspects. You can also create your own space agency, but based on a points system so no God-tier agencies. Nice touch. I just expected to give it a test run, since I was skeptical I would get drawn into it, but 9 hours later on the day I purchased it, I can say I'm hooked. Graphics are all fresh, though not lifelike if that's what your looking for. Background music is pretty repetitive but sound effects are great. Missions, to, can have similar properties but just enough variance as you progress to keep it interesting. I'm not quite mid-way yet and I'm still excited when I launch a mission or beat another agency to a milestone. All in all, it's a great game. If you are looking for a game that has photorealistic graphics and requires you to have an advanced degree in differential calculus and vector algebra to not hit the easy button (KSP fans IYKYK), this isn't for you. But for the rest of us normies who can get the realism fix elsewhere and just really want to build a space program from scratch, then stack it against real world agencies in real time, this is for you. Good luck, and enjoy!
