![]() ![]() I smiled pretty much every time my doctors discovered a new disease as all the descriptions are filled with ridiculous puns and dad jokes. Some of them will be suffering from animal magnetism and have cute little furry critters all over them, whereas others have been struck down with light-headedness and had their head replaced with a light bulb. Many of the diseases that they’re suffering from are ridiculously weird and wacky. It’s really fun to just stop and watch all the weird and wonderful patients that wander into your hospital. The game is very visually appealing as it uses lots of vibrant colors as well as a character style that wouldn’t look out of place in a Wallace and Gromit movie. Even in death the game can’t help but joke around. Thankfully you can hire janitors who are trained in the art of getting rid of these nasty blighters, by sucking them up with a hoover. Death can be bad for your hospital’s reputation and it can also sometimes lead to the corridors becoming infested with ghosts. It can be frustrating at times as it feels a bit out of your control but I guess that’s also what happens in real life, you can’t cure everyone. Sometimes, no matter how much training you give your staff or how much you bump the sickest patients up the queue they’ll still die on you. I really liked that I could do things like assigning what type of rooms each staff member is allowed to work in, as well as prioritizing certain patients. There are lots of different choices to how you can manage your hospital and you can become as much of a micromanager as you like. Training your staff from scratch is great but it takes time and money, sometimes it’s easier to just hire someone expensive with the right credentials straight away and take the hit to your bottom line. Like many things in the game, it’s all about finding a balance. You can counteract some of their negative personality traits through training as well as teaching them new skills that can improve the success rate they have with patients. For example, a doctor with a weak bladder is more likely to need frequent bathroom breaks to deal with their needs. You’ll be hiring a lot of staff members to help support your fledgling hospital empire and while many are very productive employees, others have some questionable personality traits which can impact how they perform. ![]() ![]() This can make it easier to achieve that elusive three-star rating you’ve been coveting. There’s also the added benefit that once you unlock new rooms or items you’ll be able to use them in all levels you have access to. Personally, I liked jumping ahead and seeing what was awaiting me in the next stage. It’s up to you if you want to complete absolutely every challenge a scenario has to offer or if you want to skip ahead to the next level after achieving a one-star rating. You’ll need to take all the knowledge you’ve learned in earlier scenarios if you want to truly conquer the later ones. For example, in some areas, you’ll be dealing with electrical storms and other extreme weather conditions, whereas other hospitals will only allow you to recruit junior staff that you’ll need to train up. The game is great at gradually introducing new mechanics to you. But you’ll then need to build different diagnosis and treatment rooms depending on the kinds of illnesses that you encounter.Įach hospital has a different set of challenges for you to overcome and new hazards to face. Each level starts in pretty much the same way, with you building a reception area and GP’s office. You have to prove that you can successfully manage it and turn a profit before gaining access to different hospitals that are in need of your healing touch. You’ll begin your career as a hospital manager looking after one small place in the fictional Two Point county. ![]()
