    This game has a lot of good core mechanics, good physics, good editor, but... there is huge lack of motivation and immersive aspects, I just don't feel any reason to build spacecrafts. There is no story, no narration, no final goal nothing that emotionally touches me to proceed further in game.

  • [1]Steam user Steam user …0632Steam review · Feb 13, 2026 · Recommended

    This game solves so many of the problems with KSP. It's a shame the player and modder community are so much smaller. If you want better physics and modeling than KSP, and don't mind losing the cute characters, you should give this a try.

    Really good spaceflight and orbital mechanics simulator. If you've played Kerbal Space Program (KSP) you'll be right at home here. Compared to KSP, Juno does a lot of things better: * No wobbly rockets. * Lots of procedural parts like fuel tanks, fins, and engines. Surprisingly, doesn't feel overwhelming. * Much more performant than KSP * The built-in scratch programming language is very powerful yet surprisingly …

    Skill issue simulator. Very good. It is like KSP except now my rockets can launch themselves. I have probably spent more time in the Vizzy (scratch code) editor than I have actually building rockets. If you haven't played KSP before, then you will probably struggle with the basics, as the game will throw you into the deep end, and not give a whole lot of explanation of how to do things outside of the short …

    (Updated August 2026, Devs released first major update in literally 2 years) This is a fairly fun game with it's quirks but the building system is frustrating to work with compared to that of Kerbal Space Program's, and is the main subject of my criticism. It's a real shame because this game includes procedural parts and even procedural ENGINES, which is a major step up from KSP, yet it's just so dang annoying to try and put literally anything together in the editor, or to add little details…

    This game is waaay more customizable than ksp but it also makes it way harder to actually make anything cool IMO. Also theres just not really a reason to do anything? Like you can get a contract to go to the moon and it is pretty cool to land on ig but theres no science, surface samples, or relay networks you can make so I guess its just for fun/money in the career mode? Ultimately I think it is TECHNICALLY a better game than ksp but it just doesnt feel the same?

If you like assembling your own craft and want the option to program as much or as little of the flight as you need, this is definitely the game to pick. Juno: New Origins is similar to games like Kerbal Space Program in many ways, though it brings some significant improvements over those earlier entries in the genre.

    Love this game, it is like KSP with a built in programing language to automate whatever your heart desires. Although, I still long for the Space sim that allows for full on moon bases for mining and space elevators to rendezvous for refueling missions. This game has more than enough to keep me engaged for $20, would buy again, would recommend.

    It defeats KSP in technicality and brings to the player a, potentially less comedic, albeit more enriching experience and freedom when designing with procedural parts.
