The value story
The value story
Across all 7 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 17 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 82 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Kerbal Space Program ($39.99, scores 95) and Spaceflight Simulator ($14.99, scores 63) both outscore it.
More about Kerbal Space Program 2
16 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2025 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 242 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 16 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 21 percent of the 5,752 reviews written there were positive, against 25 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Complete abandonware. It's absolutely criminal that this is still listed on the Steam store at all, let alone for 50 USD. Seriously, save your money and get the first installment of the game with the dlc's, it's worlds better and still has a great modding community. Or look into Kitten Space Agency (this games spiritual successor). As much as I had faith in Nate and his team, Take Two pulled the plug and this game...

Lost project and after over 2 years of nothing, they still try to sell this at full price. Total scam at this point.
Don't buy this. A company left the devs, abandoned the game, and ran. Its unfinished with bugs among other things. i got it while it was still indev and i regret it to this day. i got ksp1 on its 12 dollar sale recently and i really prefer it. ksp1 has an active modding community to make the game look like ksp2 if you care about looks.
