![]() The rest of the game flows beautifully across the campaign that is huge if you’re a 100% completionist nutter, but even without that desire to three-star every level you’ll get lost in the relaxing world. I have minor things that get in the way, but nothing downright bothersome. Oddly enough, being a man that’s very particular and pedantic about things, those are all the issues I have with the controls. However, there is one major issue that is quite annoying, the camera is either pitched off-center (Z-axis) enough that building in tight spaces is annoying or when you are zoomed right on in there, it’s a little too far away to build on the far wall. For the most part, everything works perfectly as intended and feels fluid enough that I’m sure most wouldn’t have too much of a problem with it. ![]() As I said back when I reviewed Tropico 6 and Frostpunk for the Xbox One, control systems can often and very rarely be a hit for management and building games on consoles. Two Point Hospital is great, but running on a console can be a problem. It should go without saying, but with the love for the game it succeeds, take this with the grain of salt it is intended with. Since then I’ve been conducting research, poking, and indeed prodding it with a very pointy stick all in the name of reviewing the Xbox One version. Two further years and the Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch ports released late last month. Two years after the studios’ founding in 2016, its first game Two Point Hospital released as a successor to the former game. This is where Gary Carr and Mark Webley come in, the artist and producer of the 1997 game went on to found Two Point Studios. It is not a bad game, not by any stretch of the imagination, but it is dated. ![]() As a whole, I, and many others, love the game, but it is a product of 1997, and like most things from 1997, it has aged horribly. Nevertheless, it is one of the staples of when Peter Molyneux and Bullfrog were at their height, and EA didn’t stand for your wallet being Electronically Assaulted. The number of hours I’ve spent in Theme Hospital both shouting at that woman, and getting to the third hospital every time before stopping, is stupid. Too many times, for my own good, I’ve heard the phrase “ Doctor to slack tong clinic please ,” and I’d always shout “tongue” because the woman on the desk would always forget the U and the E at the end. That said, this has been a very small percentage of my time around hospitals. Since that day 23 years ago, I’ve spent a lot of time in hospitals, getting surgeries on my back (shoulder blades), chest, and twice in the groin the easiest ways to get to the heart. Five days after I was born, I was rushed into hospital with a complete inability to breathe while laying down. ![]()
