The genre of business simulators in recent years has not been said to have completely sunk into oblivion, but its noticeable representatives are extremely reluctant to come to light. In 2018 Two point studios and Sega provided PC-players the opportunity to try on the dressing gown of the head physician who manages the network of clinics, and in 2023 the game finally reached all the current consoles.
Formally Two point hospital – This is a serious business simulator. Here there is a personnel management with a bunch of characteristics, requirements and settings, financial management with graphs of the dynamics of revenue, loans and cost monitoring, as well as a building component that allows you to expand the polyclinic’s working area.
At the same time, the game does not at all try to bore a tedious routine with digging in a ton of characteristics and numbers. The cartoon graphics and rather comical diseases that your subordinates have to treat are set up in a positive way.
At Two Point Hospital you will not find flu, pneumonia, or other common illnesses. Instead, a person will come to the reception with a light bulb instead of a head. The treatment process is shown with humor – on a special apparatus, the bulb will be unscrewed, and a new human head will be put in its place.
The name of each disease is a rather funny pun. For example, a patient with a saucepan on his head will be diagnosed with “Massovik-stewpan”. There are a large number of such ailments in the game, which allows, at least, to smile every time a new patient first appears on the threshold of the clinic.
The management at Two Point Hospital is top notch – we have before us a highly polished product. You start the game in a small room with bare walls, and the developers will carefully guide you through all the stages of construction, explain in detail, but not fill the walls with text, the functions of the rooms, and tell you what is needed so that not only visitors feel good at a basic level but also the staff. The rating, reputation of the institution and other indicators depend on this.
The first small clinic you build under strict control and easily understand the basics of gameplay. Over time, when the ceiling for the development of the primary health facility is reached, the game will offer you to lead the following.
