So long as they meet the minimum dimensions, usually 3×3, anything can be done with them. They can be rotated any which way, and can even be picked up in their entirety and moved to a completely different part of the hospital. Rooms can be just about any shape the player wants they can be simple rectangles, large squares with the corners cut-off and so on. Building a room is as simple as choosing it from the menu and then clicking and dragging in the space the player wants it to occupy. Each stage is kicked-off by building the initial set of rooms every hospital needs and then continually adding and improving them based on the hospital’s needs. Playing Two Point Hospital can be broken up into two sections: building and managing. It’s getting the additional stars that will force players to get creative with their strategies and really dig into the available systems. These goals can take some time to reach, but they’re all easy enough to reach that even those new to sim games shouldn’t have that much trouble with them. Once that’s done, the next hospital opens up and the player is allowed to advance. All one has to do is fulfill a stage’s initial set of goals. Getting one star is easy enough for the most part. Progression in Two Point Hospital is tied to each hospital’s star ratings. It doesn’t matter how talented a manager the player is, there’s no such thing as a single winning strategy that applies to all hospitals. Still others will be located in major city centers, where foot-traffic is plentiful and crises are common. Others will be located in Two Point County’s balmy southern regions, where having a boatload of A/C units is just as important as having enough diagnosis rooms. Some will be located in cold, mountainous foothills catering to accident-prone skiers. Players will eventually find themselves in charge of a whole network of healthcare facilities, each with its own unique needs and quirks. Emergencies are few and the pacing mellow it’s the perfect place to get into the groove of the game and prepare for the insanity coming later. The player starts their career as administrator of a single, no-frills hospital. Two Point Hospital takes place entirely within the expansive Two Point County, a county so large that it has several biomes. This isn’t Theme Hospital remade It’s Theme Hospital improved. Like its peers, Two Point Hospital doesn’t just copy what came before, but instead uses it as a foundation to reach new heights. Its spiritual follow-up, Two Point Hospital, is the latest title in the resurgent simulation genre that’s been gaining steam for several years. The latter game doesn’t enjoy as much notoriety as the other two, but its offbeat brand of comedy and odd premise were enough to win it a cult following. The 90s were also the heyday of the simulation game, with the likes of Populous, Theme Coaster and Theme Hospital all releasing within its confines. Platformers, JRPGs, 3D adventures and even horror games all rose to prominence during this time and many of these are now enjoying a nostalgic reinvigoration after twenty years of gradual decline. The 1990s are often named as the golden age for many a video game genre.
