kerbal space program is an ingenious little game! Its game mechanic is simple. You have to engineer a rocket out of a bunch of pre made propulsion systems and fuel tanks and other spacey stuff and simply explore the galaxy!
The basic gameplay is broken up into two sections. the first, designing and engineering your rocket or “space plane” in a spore style creation tool. The second is propelling your craft into space! where you can visit the moon or mun as it is referred to in game, float about and enjoy the spacy music or try to propel yourself into deep space to see whats is out there. 
The design tool is simple and intuitive. There is next to no learning curve other than the learning about ‘thrust over mass’ physics. Theres are a lot of different parts and systems to craft a spaceship out of. Literally your imagination is the only limit. With a wealth of user content that can be added to the game the possibilities are literally endless. 
After building your craft your expected to fly it! Put your thrusters up and reach for the stars! The flight aspect of the game is incredibly fun. I've enjoyed flight simulator games in the past and love the idea of being able to fly my own creation. There's a multitude of tools to keep you in orbit. The learning curve come into play at this point but half the fun of the game is taking your ship back to the drawing board to make a more efficient flight and land your little green men on the ‘mun’
If your creative or mechanically minded or just liked playing with lego as a child then kerbal space program might be right up your street. Even if you neither of those things, the quirky art direction and enjoyable gameplay mechanics should sing to you. All in all this game is beautiful and urge you to play it as soon as you can.... See you in Space...
