Pro Teaches orbital dynamics & rocket design fundamentals in an accessible manner
The physics engine does a reasonably accurate job of replicating the fundamentals behind both orbital dynamics and rocket design, so by going through the tutorials and experimenting, you're actually learning some real rocket science.
Con Graphics are not the most detailed
The graphics of KSP are not the most detailed but they work non the less.
Con Steep learning curve
Kerbal Space Program is not really a pick up and play title. There is much to learn before grasping the core concepts of the game,
Con Story falls flat
One aspect where this game does not improve over Portal is the story. There is a lot of eluding to a big reveal that eventually falls flat, making for a disappointing ending.
Pro Clever puzzles
The interesting bit about the game is how it has one solve puzzles. Users will use their Interdimensional Shift Device (IDS) to change many aspects of their environment, such as shifting time or changing gravity. SO for instance you could make a heavy object ligh, just so you could throw it across...
Pro Similar in feel to Portal
Quantum Conundrum, designed by Kim Swift (one of the creators of Portal) has a similar feel to Portal but with a lighter sense of humor and cartoony graphics. So for those that are looking for something very similar to Portal this would be a good choice.
A 3D puzzle game that focuses a bit more on physics related elements in which you have the ability to switch into five "dimensions" (including normal) that affect the physics and/or properties of objects around you. You play as a nephew visiting your uncle's mansion when the power goes out and he gets stuck in a small dimension.
Pro Both online co-op and local co-op
It is possible to play a multiplayer game for free online using the Steam servers, as well as locally on your machine using split-screen (the second player must use a gamepad controller if playing locally).
Pro Main co-op campaign is short
The co-op campaign in Portal 2 is about 4 hours long for experienced players, meaning it could be beaten in a weekend. With almost zero replayability, this makes the game feel incredibly short. Luckily, hundreds of hours worth of user-generated content is available.
Pro Hundreds of hours of user-generated content
The game has more than 60,000 co-op puzzles created by users through the Steam Workshop and through mods. Because it is user-generated content, the quality and size of these puzzles vary widely, including everything from simple, one-off chambers to full-fledged expansions with high-quality stories,
