![[Análisis] Two Point Hospital for Nintendo Switch – iGamesNews](https://igamesnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/277.png)
For those who played Theme Hospital for years, it is possible that a hospital manager loaded with fun and sense of humor it doesn't sound so crazy anymore. For those players and for those who never tried it, it comes Two Point Hospital, the Two Point Studios game distributed by SEGA that wants to run as one of the best managers in the Switch catalog. Do we make our diagnosis?
What could you find, doctor?
Just start, we start to run a small town hospital, where we learn all the notions of health center management. And soon we see that nothing is normal in this world.
From the first minute we will manage everything. And when we say everything, it's absolutely everything. We are responsible for the construction of the structure of our hospital, reception, consultation rooms, nursing, diagnostic rooms, special treatment rooms, toilets… etc. It will not be enough for us to carry out its construction, but we must also take into account the improvement of the equipment, the decoration and the quality of the elements that will be in the common spaces.
Of course, for these rooms we must have the best staff, and this is also in our hands, as true hospital managers. We must hire staff to operate our hospital and patients do not pile us up. From assistants to write down appointments to the best doctors who can make rapid diagnoses, through efficient nurses and bedeles that keep all facilities in good condition.
Do you think it's too little? Well, we must also be aware of our hospital admissions, which will vary depending on the cases attended successfully, the salaries of our employees, expenses in facilities … etc. Here our ability as economic managers will also matter, because we must control expenses based on the benefits obtained, being able to apply for loans, lay off staff, raise the salary of employees when we have slack to improve the environment of the team … etc.
In addition, as we gain prestige and increase our reputation, we will win Kudosh, a kind of virtual currency within the game that will help us unlock more items to buy in order to improve our rooms and facilities.
The first stone of a sanitary empire
The first hospital will be no more than the base stone to start forge our sanitary empire. Once we are fluent with management, we will see how our facilities expand and how we can face new situations, which more crazy.
To access new domains, we must go fulfilling a series of missions and challenges that will be raised to raise the level of our hospital. The maximum category to be achieved is that of 3 stars and achieving it will open the doors to us to access new locations in the country. So, We will go from managing a quiet hospital in a port town to a clinic in the mountains, where the earthquakes hit our hospital, with the consequences that this entails for our management.
The game brings us this management through years. During this time, we will receive visits from health inspectors and the so-called VIPs will be dedicated to valuing our reputation. So, the marketing of our hospitals must also be careful. For what? Well, to be able to access new locations and that the price of our shares as a company rise.
Further, Each year a series of awards are established for the best in the health sector: from the best hospital to the patients favorite, best doctor, hospital without any death per year … etc.
Wait a minute, have we said deaths? The truth is yes…
We're going, doctor, we're going!
The diseases at Two Point Hospital are not normal at all. The sense of humor covers the whole game tonic, making us have a few laughs with each of these "problems."
Thus, we can find from a disease called "Louvers", where patients have a light bulb head, to a clown epidemic, passing through lunatics dressed as Freddie Mercury whose disease is to believe rock stars.
How are these diseases cured? With specialized machines that serve to change the patients' heads, offices of psychiatry that cure the affected rock or even a circus tent that "misfortune" the affected. But, as we said before, if we take care of patients, our nurses do not have the appropriate experience or our machines are not in good condition, they can die. Yes, even death is something funny within Two Point Hospital.
If one of our patients dies, his spirit will remain in the form of a white ghost that will walk through the facilities staining all of ectoplasm. How is it solved? Well, hiring a bedel with experience in ghost hunting!
Almost surgeon precision
And then, how is all this handled? We have Many options to control with our buttons and sticks. And the truth is that everything is going pretty well in terms of comfort. Of course, sometimes we realize that The natural habitat of this game is the PC (platform that can be enjoyed for more than a year) and it becomes a little weirder to control everything when chaos reigns.
There are few occasions when everything seems to pile up: waiting patients, doctors and nurses who need a break and take it in the staff room, reception assistants that do not supply, deaths that we cannot control … and sometimes everything would be understood a little better with a mouse than with a pad.
That chaos we talked about may sometimes overflow the player a bit, being able to overwhelm the less experienced. But nothing that is not solved with good doses of practice. Also, if we feel that everything is beyond us, we have the option to pause the rhythm of the game directly, by pressing the left Joy-Con lever. With the right We can control a slow, normal and fast speed. And this is much appreciated when it comes to enjoying its playability.
In the part of the room construction and distribution of elements, the controls are going really well, although again it shows that the accuracy is not as achieved as with a PC. We repeat, the adaptation at this point is great, but there are times when you can miss that precision.
How do you see it, doctor?
Yes you know the Wallace & Gromit series, as soon as you make a first game to Two Point Hospital you will find very familiar aspects. And is that lThe characters of the game, modeled with this modeling clay, they remember that series a lot.
In this sense, we found some sympathetic graphics that meet remarkably in line with the sense of humor that the game wants to express. Title is flowing at all times and except for some rather long loading times at the start of the game, we have not encountered any other problem that is technically noteworthy. The game moves smoothly in both TV and laptop mode, where it is a true joy to be able to enjoy it anywhere.
On the other hand, in the sound aspect we find melodies that play in the station of our hospital. These are songs that accompany quite well as a musical thread. In between, we will listen some phrases and recommendations of reception (in English, only the texts are in Spanish) that bring more dynamism to the game. In this sense, it is likely that some melodies are missing and that they fit a little better when it comes to accompanying our hours of play, since some pass without penalty or glory.
Without hot cloths, how much do I have left?
Start playing Two Point Hospital It is a real danger for our hours. And it is very easy to grab our console and realize that time has passed without realizing, given everything he proposes from the beginning and the fun you know provide us as soon as you start.
Is about a title that encourages you to follow, to be aware of every aspect of our hospital, improve it, get bigger prizes … etc.
Do we get three stars and forget about a hospital to move to another? Do not think that this is so. You can do it, yes, but you will manage all the hospitals again to discover new visitors, more comic diseases, get new awards, build more rooms … etc. And at this point, Two Point Hospital will give you hours and hours of fun.
