Early Access Review
KSP2 currently costs 10$/€ more than the original and as someone who've played a ♥♥♥♥ ton of KSP 1. in it's current state i dont recommend it, not because i think the game is bad or will continue to be bad. I'm keeping the game hoping it will turn out better in the near future

Below is a list describing how i feel about the game

[The Good]

- The part graphics and lighting is just way better than previous version.
- The Part UI is very good and easy to read. love how each part is grouped into XS to XL. Makes identifying parts easier
- The new player experience has been drastically improved
- The introduction of a new Fuel type "Hydrogen" makes for intresting rocket designs with tradeoffs. (similar to nuclear engines in ksp1)
- Sound design is on another level
- The UI has nice new convenience features such as warp to maneuver node

[The Bad]

- Performance is absolutely atrocious. When you build in the VAB the lag between placing parts gets incrementally longer as you place more parts making the construction of large ship neigh impossible. There is also a ♥♥♥♥ ton of lag when entering and exiting the atmosphere.
- The maneuver nodes can be buggy not displaying proper positions and timings, this gets expecially bad when you are trying to do a burn towards another planet/moon
- Other misc quirks such at it being a bit annoying to view an individual tanks fuel level.
- Lack of features, (although i did expect it)

[The Neutral]

- The UI is modernized, although some sprites do look like placeholders
