TotalBiscuit recomends KSP

[Sirrobert]

Yeay! One of the most popular youtube game critics, permanently recomending people to stay away from Early Acces games, thinks KSP is worth buying.

As genre, he listed "State sanctioned Kerbal genocide", so you know he's a real player to

[NecroBones]

Nice, I'll have to watch the video.

TB has always had high praise for KSP in his videos. It probably helps that KSP is one of the few (only?) "early access" games around that is in fact very, very good.

Yeah, this isn't the first time he's mentioned KSP, but when he does, he tends to say very nice things.

Publicity is fun!

To be completely honest though, there are a LOT of crappy early access games out there which are overpriced (both in planned final and current asking) and way less stable than they should be, even for E.A. (early access, not electronic arts, who we all hate) Kerbal Space Program and Space Engineers are two of the really good ones out there which I have had nothing but positive to say about (SE multiplayer is semi-unstable at times but that is not the game's main focus right now).

If you don't want people to use a topic, maybe try NOT being the first person to bring it up

Bring what up?

[NecroBones]

Ahem... getting back on topic.

Yeah, I think "early access" in general is a bit of a marketing experiment, but KSP is one of the ones that handles it really well. Sometimes it's best to lead by example, and other games may live and die based on how well they can do it in comparison to the ones who have succeeded.

[RobotsAndSpaceships]

Agreed, KSP and Prison Architect are some of the few early access games to succeed.

[mknote]

And, you know, Minecraft. I've heard that that game has done rather well.

[rdwulfe]

Rimworld is shaping up to be quite excellent too. Early Access is like any other kind of product. Buyer beware, and as always, be vigilant.

KSP has been the best alpha purchase I've made. In fact I think I've logged more time in KSP than in all my other steam games. I think the only other early access game I really enjoyed was Air Mech, and that is largely because I loved Hertzog Zwei back on Sega Genesis as a kid, so that game got a huge nostalgia bonus.
