I’m with you on the KSP2 missions. Randomly generated missions may have endless possibilities, but handcrafted ones make much more sense and don’t have their quality determined by RNGesus. I remember once seeing a screenshot of a mission with the goal of testing launch clamps on the surface of the sun.
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!
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.
Apex Legends. Picked it up again this week after months of playing other games. I’m having loads of fun with Rampart, but keep finishing third or second.
