The game can feel like a ‘plate-spinner’ management simulator at times as you simply identify the weaknesses in your systems and address them as they occur – whether that be firing incompetent staff, budgeting to hire an expensive new doctor with specialised training or selling off old equipment to buy upgraded machinery to deal with a sudden outbreak of a quirky new disease.īut it’s not all book sheets and budget cuts. This is a business management/simulation game first and foremost, so be prepared to read resumes, train staff, manage payrolls and balance budgets. Two Point Hospital puts you in the shiny leather shoes of a hospital administrator tasked with designing, operating and maintaining a metropolitan hospital. With EA sitting on the rights to Theme Hospital and no plans for a franchise reboot in the near future, Two Point Studios have taken it upon themselves to satisfy Theme Hospital fans everywhere by creating an excellent spiritual successor to Theme Hospital that takes everything that made the original game so iconic and rejigging it to make it work in the modern gaming landscape. In fact, some of the more sceptical critics have theorised that the name ‘ Two Point Hospital’ is a cheeky way of implying that this is ‘Hospital 2.0’.
