10 Video Games You’ll Still Be Playing Long Into 2016

4. Kerbal Space Program

Launching your first rocket into orbit is going to take you hours, as failing to take into account one little thing - whether it's the gravitational pull of your home planet, making sure your jet engines are symmetrically designed, or the angle at which you launch out into space - will result in failure. But you keep on trying to get your green race of Kerbal people out there, because you know that once you do, you'll be rewarded with a whole solar system to explore, filled with planets to land on, asteroids to intercept and the peaceful void of space to traverse. The game plays out much like a flight simulator, and is accurately bound by the laws of science and physics, so you'll need to get a grasp of these if you're to avoid disaster. Thankfully, a failed flight can be quickly restarted, encouraging a trial-and-error approach that's hard to tear away from. But the base content is just the start of your space-faring adventures, as there is a buzzing mod community for the game, providing a deep pool of great content, including historical-inspired space missions, new spacecraft, and even new planets to fly to. The appeal of KSP is - much like space itself - infinite. The good news for PS4 and Xbox One owners is that KSP is coming to consoles in early 2016, technically meaning they'll have no choice but to play it well into 2016!
