It's so much fun, although it can be infuriating at times. You can be an hour into a mission before something catstrophic happens (run out of fuel, botch a landing etc.) and you have to start over and adjust. But that's what makes it so rewarding and fun. Btw, I think the developers announced a PS4 version, so you might not even need a pc. |
Kerbal space program was (is) great too. I have logged 162 hours on the demo alone and learned a lot about orbital mechanics.
Elite dangerous doesn't have anything of that, although there is still the chance of catastrophe and no reloads. It was nerve wrecking coming back into 'civilized' space from my 63 day, over 200 thousand light year trip. I wonder how many people will make it on the distant worlds expedition. Planetary landings offer no secondary chances if you misjudge your approach. Don't attempt to land on the high g planets with the wrong ship.
Landing on the moon in ksp wasn't easy either, although the biggest danger was tipping over the craft and not being able to leave again lol. You could only have 1 man crew in the demo so I tried a rescue by having the second person cling to the outside. It all went well until I used time compression. Lost him during orbit transfer from the moon back to earth.
No man's sky next. 8th gen is delivering in the space sim department. New golden age. :)
