Nightmare Mode reviews indie darling Kerbal Space Program, and says things like the following:
"That’s where Kerbal Space Program gets its Minecraft hat: it delivers that same sense of “look what I did” that Minecraft and Galaxy Trucker proffer. Sure, it’s exciting to land yourself on the moon, but you get that same vicarious joy when your friend lands a ship that looks like a spider, whole hog, onto the moon, only to realize his ship has one crewmember so Billy Kerban, quite literally, locked himself out of the ship. Those are the moments you remember, and they’re the ones that make Kerbal Space Program worthwhile."
