Reaching for the Impossible: The Profound Impact of Reentry Rarely does a game like Reentry come along—one that transcends mere entertainment to offer an experience of profound substance. It is a title that speaks to the dreamers among us, those who yearn to explore realms of knowledge and adventure inaccessible due to time, money, or social position. Through this game, players are not merely entertained; they are transported into the heart of humanity's most ambitious endeavors, gaining insights and sensations that would otherwise remain out of reach. What sets Reentry apart is its meticulous attention to detail and authenticity. It is not just a simulation but an invitation to step into the shoes of history's great pioneers. The game demands patience, focus, and a willingness to learn—a far cry from the instant gratification typical of many modern titles. Yet, for those willing to invest the effort, it offers unparalleled rewards: a deeper understanding of space exploration and a visceral connection to the challenges and triumphs faced by astronauts like John Glenn and Gus Grissom. This is not a game for dilettantes or casual dabblers. It requires dedication akin to mastering a complex craft or studying a dense textbook. But therein lies its beauty: Reentry respects its audience's intelligence and curiosity. It provides a rare opportunity to engage with a subject in a meaningful way, allowing players to experience the intricacies of spacecraft operation and the awe-inspiring vastness of space without ever leaving their homes. In an era where many games prioritize flashy graphics or shallow narratives, Reentry stands as a testament to what gaming can achieve when it prioritizes depth and authenticity. It is more than just a game—it is an educational tool, an emotional journey, and a celebration of human ingenuity. For those who have ever dreamed of touching the stars but thought it impossible, Reentry offers not just a glimpse but an immersive dive into that dream.

If you're a space history enthusiast, you really just cannot go wrong with this thing. I'm in the space industry myself and it's genuinely brilliant to get to run through these checklists and execute these kinds of missions. It's a little rough around the edges but it is an absolute labor of love and learning how to fly these historic vehicles is just amazing.

It's definitely on the more complicated and realistic side of space sim's and its definitely a ''checklist simulator'' in a sense but if you want to get a crack of what it feels like to be a astronaut in the Apollo era this game probably suits you.

Simply outrageous. It's not as hard as you think. Learn in order, Mercury > Gemini > Apollo and the gradual increase of complexity will be easier to understand, especially when the basics of Mercury are under your belt. From the gorgeously crafted faithful interiors of some of the greatest technological achievements in human history, you can step aboard the launch capsules and relive, in real time, every flick of the switch, every concerned breath, every panicked voice of the faithfully synced radio comm's to your historical mission, and the option for free play. A work of art, a labour of love and a truly awe inspiring experience for anyone with the faintest interest in space, space technology, or the rocket program that put man on the moon. Worth every penny and then some, 10/10 essential play.

If you're way too into the Apollo missions, you played with your LEGO Saturn V while listening to mission audio cued to 50 years to the second (search for Apollo in Real Time), you've built a Saturn V with dockable lander using stock parts in Kerbal Space Program, KSP Console Edition, AND Kerbal Space Program 2, and now need something even more realistic, this is the game you've been looking for, hidden deeper in the Steam vaults than Commander Shepard in Citadel DLC. But now you found it because it's on sale as part of the Steam Space Exploration Fest! If you like simple click games, the Mercury capsule (the spacecraft they made BEFORE the spacecraft they made before Apollo) will still be fun. Want a bit more of a challenge? Do some Gemini missions, and switch back and forth between the 2 seats. Got a really good computer, or want to see how hard you can bake your potato? (I got it running moderately well on Steam Deck, and a 2019 MacBook Pro with a 5600M GPU running Windows 10 in Boot Camp.) Load Apollo, and either click everywhere it tells you to in the interactive checklists, or lose yourself on the way to the Moon with the literal hundreds of switches (including SCE, which probably doesn't do much yet, but maybe if enough people buy it it'll give the developer enough money to map out each Apollo mission, or at least the more unique scenarios like being hit by lightning. Twice.) If you love both Microsoft Flight Simulator and Kerbal Space Program, you should have already owned this game. If you didn't know about it until now, GET IT! If you've played MSFS in VR, wait until you see Reentry in VR! (If your PC/VR headset can handle MSFS, it can handle Reentry.) If you have flight controllers for MSFS, you can remap them for Reentry. (I've even mapped the Thrustmaster MFDs; I just keep forgetting to upload the templates somewhere Edit: I just uploaded them to https://www.reddit.com/r/reentrygame/comments/1fawks7/thrustmaster_mfd_inserts/ .) Edit 2: Alternate source: https://imgur.com/gallery/thrustmaster-mfd-templates-microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-reentry-space-simulator-00744Gq Bonus if you made it this far: If you're a Rush fan...actually, even if you're not...convert the song Countdown to OGG or WAV (might need to boost the audio), make it a custom song in-game, and hit Play at T-00:03:17. Doing that, especially in VR, still gives me goosebumps at launch.
