Two Point Hospital is a quirky hospital sim builder developed by Two Point Studios and published by SEGA. For those of you who recall playing EA’s Theme Hospital back in the late 90’s, Two Point Hospital will have you feeling nostalgia as the two games are very similar with Two Point Hospital feeling just like an updated version.

Story & Content:

Two Point Hospital lacks a story line but that doesn’t mean it lacks personality. Every patient that comes into your hospital will have a quirky disease that needs to be taken care of by an even wackier medical contraption.

Sound & Music:

While you are treating your patients, there are occasional announcements over the intercom and a radio station with a funny DJ. These little touches along with a very fitting cartoon art style, work well together to bring out the personality of Two Point Hospital and help you not miss a story line.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is quite simple and in-line with the usual sim builder games. Within 15 levels you build various rooms, hire staff to run them and once you have everything you need, the game will run itself while you watch. There are a few other options like making your hospital look visually appealing, making sure your patients don’t get bored, putting sanitation centers to insure the cleanliness of the hospital, and training your staff, but these aspects are also very limited. The simplicity of this game-play led for a very relaxing afternoon but I felt like the game needed more context to keep me playing it.

Final Thoughts:

The game runs for $34.99 on Steam and with the amount of content it has now, this price seems to be quite steep and (to those not accustomed to Tycoon games) might not be worth it. However, when this game can be found on sale, purchasing it would be recommended if you are looking for a funny and relaxing sim builder.
