## Review summary

Players praise Spaceflight Simulator for its free-to-start access, engaging, physics-based rocket-building and educational value, plus long-term replayability and mod support. Common criticisms center on monetization (pay-to-win DLCs and paid parts), along with stability problems (crashes, freezes) and various bugs (editor glitches, mission tracking). Some also cite mod-related and purchase-restoration issues. Overall, the game offers rich spaceflight experiences but its monetization model and reliability are frequent concerns.

### Pros

- Free-to-start base with deep, challenging rocket-building and missions.
- Physics-based gameplay that’s educational and rewarding, teaching rocket concepts.
- Mods and community content add variety and experimentation.
- Very high replay value and long-term engagement; players report playing for years.
- Satisfying space exploration feel including orbiting, landing on planets, and building colonies.

### Cons

- Pay-to-win monetization: DLCs and paid parts lock core capabilities and many features behind purchases.
- Frequent stability issues: crashes and freezes, especially on saves and certain devices.
- Bugs affecting core features: editor flicker, teleport glitches, and mission progress not updating.
- Mod/purchase issues: mods sometimes require paid bundles to use, plus mod download/restore purchases can fail.
