Picks

Chris

Kerbal Space Program

• Available on Steam. It’s still in Beta and is certainly rough round the edges but is an amazing Space Sandbox game - where you’re pretty much left to start up your own space program from scratch.

• Build rockets, send manned missions into space, to the mun, try and get everyone back safely!

• Nicely characterized but extremely technical

• Thanks to Paul for the pick.
