Kerbal Space Program 2 is Being Review Bombed
The initial response to Kerbal Space Program 2 when it first launched into Early Access in 2023 was already frosty, at best. Critics focused on the game's performance, as well as its lack of content when compared to the original game. Some Kerbal Space Program 2 players even demanded refunds, unimpressed at the product received on release. With frequent updates, the game did massively improve, and December 2023's "For Science!" update was seen as a big turning point for many, even if it still hadn't quite reached the high bar set by the first title.
After the recent announcement that Take-Two is closing developer Intercept Games, gamers have responded in turn by flooding the Kerbal Space Program 2 Steam page with negative reviews. While the game's reviews are "Mixed" overall, recent reviews are now "Overwhelmingly Negative," with many players feeling betrayed by the sudden closure of the studio. It should be noted that Take-Two's current stance is that development of Kerbal Space Program 2 will continue under the publisher of the game, Private Label, but many in the reviews find this difficult to believe. Hopefully, it can join the ranks of great Early Access games that finally made it to 1.0.
Above all, it's just a shame that this is another negative chapter in the story of Kerbal Space Program 2. The original game was one of the best spaceship building games on the market, and had depth and charm in abundance. It's worth remembering that no matter what happens to Kerbal Space Program 2 from this point onward, the original game still exists with an incredible modding community to boot. Players can always go back and explore the incredible original if Private Division's ongoing development of the sequel fails to live up to expectations.
All eyes will immediately fall on Private Division now. The negative reviews are sure to be tough to handle, and players will take a fair bit of winning over to make up for the current situation. There's no doubt that under the right developer, Kerbal Space Program 2 still has the potential to become one of the best open-world space sims on the market, but only time will tell if it can eventually reach that point.
