What players say
This game is fun. I don't really have anything else to say, it runs well and is a mice chill game. Watch some YouTube videos and you'll be hooked. Coming from SFS, this game has a whole ton more content without purchasing a DLC, and I'm not very good, but it's just so fun. Highly recommend you check it out.

I'm not even overstating right now, one of if not the best game I've played ever, a kind of game that will make you sit for 2 hours and after successfully completing a mission lean against your chair with your hands wrapped around your head with the kind of feeling you get after watching a 2 hours film with an insane ending, if you love orbital mechanics, spaceships, satelites and space in general this game is...
Sent Jeb into sun orbit. Sent out a rescue mission. Goes wrong. Jeb is on track to intercept the sun sometime next week
