Abandoned but worth playing?

[Canel1125]

So the game is abandoned but is it worth playing it? Im starting to play KSP1 and want to know if KSP2 is at least playable.
How much did they leave uncompleated?

There is nothing "extra" in KSP2 (vs KSP1) and somethings are missing. If you take into account mods, KSP2 has very, very few mods (and won't likely have more) while KSP1 has tons.

The only upside to KSP2 is the visuals, at the cost of much, much worse performance.

Too much, believe me. Parts of your rocket might get deplaced after undocking and such things. Random wobbling destroying your space station for no reason. You still might get teleported randomly (like doing EVA, and your ship suddenly changes orbit) IIRC. Of course a different behavior will lead to a different outcome, but ultimately it's too buggy to be enthusiastic enough. There are community fixes as a mod afaik, but I didn't mod anything. So, no idea about that. Mod support wasn't even officially there yet.

Performance is actually kind of okay, but it's a bit of a stretch to say the least. No big builds would be a wise choice.

Your best take is to go with KSP1 and just look what happens to KSP2 in the meanwhile.

Yes it was playable before I refunded it. I personally wouldn't buy it again unless it's on something like a 90 to 95% off sale, or unless a dev team picks it up and completes it, that might entice me to buy at full price. Until that happens if ever I can toddle around with KSP1

I would wait. There are people making some promising mods for the game. As of right now though the game is pretty dry compared to ksp1 and I would only bother if you all ready own it. However the missions in ksp2 are pretty good.

It's certainly playable with early access in mind, I got 50ish hours out of it and could probably squeeze out another 50 in its current state.
But unless it goes on a 90% sale I would stay away.
If it was still developed it would still be expensive as heck and since it's not, $5 sure for some decent fun and bug avoiding, but at "full" price, heck no.

No

Just pretend this pile of garbage doesnt exist. Just pirate it, they do not deserve any income from this.

No, it is a scam. Avoid all Take 2 games, if this is how they treat customers.

AAA price for an abandoned early access game.

Read my review, the game is gorgeous.

But more importantly I think the game has been killed by bad reviews on this forum.

Sorry no, it's Take 2 that killed this game by abandoning it, not because people left bad reviews after T2 fired the development staff which basically stopped further development.

It's still worth getting when on a 90 to 95% off sale but no way in Hades at full $50 price tag.

That's a good point. There's a small group of modders working on finishing the game. I'd pay $5 for it, in hopes they succeed. If they do, it might be worth $10 one day for the modded experience. Maybe. But no more than $5 today. There is a playable game here, just not very much of one.
