Kerbal Space Program 2 Is Catching Fire For A Buggy Early Launch
gamespot.comKerbal Space Program 2 launched in early access on February 24, but players are complaining about bugs and requesting refunds.
As Eurogamer noted, the Steam reviews are mixed with only 50% of the game's over 9,000 reviews marked as positive. Multiple reviews cite the game's buggy state and high price tag (even in early access the game retails at $50). Others say they have requested refunds.
In a blog post on Steam, Kerbal Space Program community lead Michael Loreno clarified the current state of the game and its relationship to the current PC specifications. The post assures that, «the game is undergoing continuous optimization, and performance will improve over the course of Early Access.» The current minimum specifications are for this early access period and may change over time, as the team fixes bugs and optimizes systems.
The post also clarifies that the teams' engineers are focusing on terrain optimization and fuel flow/resource management for upcoming updates. The hope is that some reworking of these systems will make them less intensive. The post also welcomes feedback, with the caveat that, «we are entering Early Access with the expectation that the community understands that this is a game in active development.»
Kerbal Space Program and its sequel are physics based puzzle/strategy games about building spacecraft and running a space program. They are at once intense physics simulations and absurd comedy engines.
