Kerbal Space Program 2 invites us to discover the space race in a very educational and fun way
Going into space has always been one of humanity’s great challenges…until the arrival of Kerbal. These beings have no economic restrictions for the development of their space career. For not having They are not afraid to try again and again to achieve their goals, whether big or small. They are doing so well in the stratosphere that they did not hesitate to launch a second part entitled Kerbal Space Program 2. Or at least for now, a Early Access where they warm up the engines. If you are a fan of rockets, spaceships and the assembly of these space vehicles, do not miss the beautiful proposal that Private Division he offers you.
Today is theory lesson
To begin with, it must be said that despite its comical and colorful appearance, we are faced with a simulator from head to toe. Kerbal Space Program 2 is an ode to all space engineering, for many reasons. Fortunately, the inclusion of these greenish bugs makes the interface less serious and more user-friendly. In this proposal, we will have to learn many aspects of aeronautics and spaceflightit therefore becomes very important (even essential) to fully immerse yourself in the notions offered by the game’s tutorials.
Who’s afraid to die for science?
The road to space is not easy at all and we can divide this title into several stages that we must know very well before reaching our objectives. We will have the part of creation of rockets, vehicles and accessories. Then we will have a second phase in the typical take-off shuttle as well as the first steps of uncoupling our rocket and, finally, we will have to be knowing the orbit of our ship and fix a target in space. Quite a challenge that will require trial and error until you find the right key.
And that’s the philosophy of Kerbal Space Program 2. A constant trial and error that will make us aware of our failures and aspects to improve with each release. From the first stage of assembling the ship, we see how many options are available to us. Choose the type of fuel tank according to the size of our ship and the purpose of our flight, solar panels if we have to do activities in space or the assembly of other accessories such as the typical ones vagabond we have seen a thousand times A whole world of possibilities to discover.
You will leave with the race half finished
So many options are overwhelming, especially if we go with the mentality of eating the whole world (or the whole galaxy, rather). This game asks us to be humble, to immerse ourselves in the operation of each accessory and from there to improve our qualities. All very self-taught and enriching. We’re going to start by just taking off with an astronaut in the cabin, controlling the parachute system and nothing else, and we will end up planning the apoapsis and the periapsis of our orbit, as well as the sphere of influence to land on other planets.
If taking off and returning in one piece is already quite a feat, I don’t even want to imagine what it means to orbit the various planets that make up the “Solar System” of Kerbal Space Program 2. Here the game completely changes register, and even offers a new perspective that facilitates the necessary calculations and coordinates. I could spend all day talking about the options available, the factors to consider, and the possibilities of space travel, but I think this is something you have to experience for yourself.
You are kerbalizing!
All these options, situations and difficulties They do not make it a proposal suitable for everyone. Despite all the tutorials and accessibility of the title, As a player, you have to do your part. Luckily, if you’re not very good at crafting ships and rockets, there’s a section where you can load pre-made projects. And it is that if the studio does it well, and manages to create a good community that shares its prototypes, the useful life of Kerbal Space Program 2 can be infinite. I have already been able to see space stations and shuttles from other users who I can’t wait to share them with.
With feet on the ground
Also we need to see how the PC controls adapt to the Xbox,
In its audiovisual aspect we also have no disadvantages. It’s true that the stages, especially at take-off, are a bit empty and bland. But the grace of Kerbal Space Program 2 lies in its physics, and there the game does not fail. From the speed of our ship, the weight, the gravitational forces and even the type of assembly that we put will have their function in the game. Many factors that mean that in the end we are facing one of the best never-before-seen space simulators.
Conclusion of Kerbal Space Program 2
Conquering space is an arduous and complex task, but the Kerbal are willing to give anything to achieve their goals. Private Division delights us with this space simulator which, despite its cartoonish tone with these little green creatures, delights us with endless possibilities for creation and planning so that our space journeys are very eventful. Watch out, it won’t be easy. There are many concepts to learn, many objects to know, and many factors to consider. This means that Kerbal Space Program is not a title for everyone, although if you’re a fan of spaceflight I’m sure hours will pass in front of your screen as we design vehicles, prototypes and ships of all types, sizes and colors. Do you have the wetsuit ready? Because it looks like we will have an intergalactic game.
