Class C
Two Point Hospital
A hospital management game closely following the footsteps of Bullfrog’s Theme Hospital from 1997, recreating both its strengths and weaknesses.
Two Point Hospital imitates perfectly the aesthetics of its precursor, resembling the look of British clay and puppet animations such as Wallace & Gromit and Postman Pat. Similarly, its core mechanics are directly borrowed from its predecessor: you place hospital-themed rooms in a Tetris-like manner into a prefabricated building, and fill the rest with waiting room benches, drinking machines, plants, and toilets. As a new feature, the efficiency of all rooms can be improved by decoration.
Unfortunately, in similar to most of the games by Bullfrog, after the initial excitement wears off, the game soon becomes tedious due to its repetitive mechanisms, limited content, and low difficulty. As an additional weakness, the new room decoration mechanism can be easily exploited, leading to messy and cluttered rooms—quite the opposite than intended.
Loyal to its roots, the game has charm and an interesting theme, yet it is only enjoyable for short sessions.
