I've played this game for almost ten years now (Ouch. That hurts to write). It is a meticulously detailed space simulator, and while it doesn't necessarily have any story guiding your hand, it is still quite fun to explore or work up your space program in Career mode if that's your jam. There are some quirks with the game that can be frustrating at times, although some of these can be fixed (If you're not using Autostruts with Advanced Tweakables enabled, you should be). This game has a lot of exploring to do already, but the modding community takes it to another level. You can mod this game until it breaks, and the modding community has come up with everything conceivable from hyper-realism to sillyness. I'm currently using an upscaled planet pack, N-body orbital mechanics, and life support / general systems overhaul mods (JNSQ, Principia, and Kerbalism in particular) among many others, and I've modded KSP into almost a new game many times over the years.

The only thing I don't like about the game is the DLC pricing. It's a bit steep, but you can get the complete edition on sale for less than $30, and it's easily worth that price if its up your alley. KSP 2 is on the horizon at the time of writing, but it's very, very alpha; it'll be a while before it has a hope of catching up.
