Has anyone played Kerbal Space Program? If so, do you think it's worth picking up in this early access phase?
I've got 30 minutes to decide before yesterday's deal ends.
It's by far the best game I've played this year, and I have about 150 hours into so far.
True, there is no game at this point, it's just a sandbox, but the amount of things you can do is staggering. Create orbiters, space stations, rovers, landers and transport vehicles, planes to SSTO's, probes, and just about anything else you can think of. Some players have made tanks and boats, and one even made a big crossbow he sent to the Mun that shoots Kerbals into orbit.
Here's my new Turtle Rover on the way to the Mun, with it's landing skycrane/base. Note, I designed every little aspect of this; each little part you see I placed and tweaked. Around 250 parts at this stage, near to 350 with the launch rocket (not shown).
and it on the Mun going to explore
