Do you want to feel old?” It’s been 25 years since “Theme Hospital” came out, but for various reasons we never saw a sequel to this classic game, thankfully its original creators came back and created a spiritual successor in the form of Two Point Campus and now four years later we get the sequel we’ve been hoping for. I was recently able to preview the tutorial and the first full level of the game and managed to get two stars because it turns out I spend way too much time playing this type of game, and Championship Manager is totally Mike’s two points.
If you don’t like that game, then you won’t find anything here to change your mind. of players complained that in Two Point Campus you can now pretty much choose not to play the game.
You can now spend money to edit your buildings and solve any wacky layout puzzles by building everything into nice rectangles. But eliminating the layout puzzle seems to me to undermine part of the point that this is a clever solution, and a smart one at that, because you’re not just focusing on building a building that works perfectly; students must live and study on your campus for at least three years or more.
Therefore, quality of life is just as important. You have to build dormitories, showers, bathrooms and social places for students such as union buildings and student lounges, and in fact, you put more emphasis on making sure your students have a full social life, both to make friends and to fall in love, and you’re asked to throw some wacky items around campus to provide them with opportunities to meet cute and I noticed that, at least in the first two levels, missing was the thing that made Two Points Hospital so unique , the dark silliness that makes it so fun.
But even the silly classroom animations fall a little flat in comparison I mean, that’s not a problem per se, but it does kind of remind you that they’re trying to catch lightning in a bottle here Oh, and while there are a lot of improvements, I do wish the devs had spent more time making it easier to copy and move rooms without having to manually modify all the wall collisions. I want to run a university here, well please take away some of the unnecessary busy work, but honestly I’m blowing it out of proportion, these aren’t the biggest problems with a game, I know it’s not a radical change but it’s still a lot of fun, I spent way too much time in this demo because it’s just a nice thing to start and fiddle with, if like me you’re keen to play the full Title II -.
