Definitely Kerbal Space Program. It's a bit of a silly game, but you'll deal with astrodynamics including thrust, drag, lift, etc and take those into account when designing spacecraft. Also a great way to learn about orbital mechanics.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

There definitely is something to learn from KSP, but not too much to be honest. I mean apart from apsides, escape velocity, atmospheric drag/deceleration, etc. The game itself doesn't even teach you anything, in fact, you have to get the info all by yourself.

For example in guides like these:

https://spaceflightsystems.grc.nasa.gov/education/rocket/rktstab.html

144Hz goodness
