Kerbal Space Program 2. The new For Science! update finally made the game fun and performant! And because I suck at the game, I needed to send 4 rescue missions to return Valentina from the Mun.
Is it worth getting over KSP1 yet?
Base game, not including mods? It's comparable, especially if you didn't like career mode and preferred science mode. I can see where they're going and I really like it personally.
However, if you also include mods, and you kinda have to... the sheer quality and amount of mods that really elevate ksp1 is going to make the answer to this question "no" until it has been out for years. You simply cannot compete with a decade of overhauls, dlc sized expansion mods, and visual upgrades.
The only mod I used in KSP1 was the Engineer Redux(?) mod, but I uninstalled it when advanced orbital info was added to the base game. The science mode couldn't keep me motivated after finishing the tech tree with a research lab on minmus, and the career mode eventually gets too easy and too hard at the same time. I find KSP2's exploration mode to be a perfect balance of the two, so I'm having a blast!
