Two Point - Theme - Hospital

Gameplay:

Unique and positive aspects:

• — You don't specifically need to be aware or remember what treatment facilities are needed for specific illnesses that show up in the hospital you're currently working in, they'll tell you what's needed if you don't have it. Of course, knowing would allow some level of preparation to occur.
• — Any and all research achieved is used organization wide for any hospital.
• — Though this could be viewed as a negative by some, the game can feel a little faster paced at times compared to many other management sims — this is due to the fact you're able to completely rearrange a hospital to suit the needs of any specific event as there is no building time for rooms or items. Only expansion into additional annexes take time to build.
• — When less pertinent research is needed for treatment methods, you can generalize research to generate both cash and kudosh.
• — The Wallace & Gromit aesthetic is fantastic.

Neutral aspects:

• — The Super Bug Initiative is an interesting idea that requires collaboration between real life players performing objectives. In the absence of players trying to complete those goals, it feels like a very tacked on feature.
• — Sometimes genuinely funny.
• — The UI is very clean, so much so that it feels like a mobile game.
• — It's very grind-y. Which means two things — there's a lot of game to it, but your internal reward system i.e., dopamine, might get a little bored on occasion. The achievements are also pretty grind-y. Of course, they're completely optional.
• — Some hospitals introduce or focus on temperature. It's not as in-depth as something like Prison Architect where you'd need to build a hot water heater and place a piping system in. In this you can just place a radiator anywhere and it'll have its own area of effect.
• — Sometimes marketing campaigns feel like they only exist to complete odd objectives that don't fit the hospital's theme in what is otherwise interesting feature used to recruit specialists.
• — The game is always comparing your stats to other players on your friends list, which is cool for motivational purposes but it's also kind of grating.

Less than desirable aspects:

• — Each hospital gives you certain star ratings by introducing seemingly arbitrary objectives that don't inherently fit their theme. But this is largely only for ratings beyond 1 star.
• — There's very little compelling reason to increase prestige beyond completing specific objectives or subjective cosmetic design e.g., fridges and filing cabinets don't actually do anything but increase room level/prestige. They're considered decorative items. Conversely, medicine cabinets, while not required slightly increase treatment and diagnosis percentage.
• — Extra cosmetic [or otherwise] items not unlocked through regular progression are unlocked through redeeming “kudosh” points which are rewarded through completing objectives. Which makes early game decoration rather banal.
• — Every room type essentially acts the same, regardless of extra furnishings. You're able to literally copy and paste them, making customization less meaningful as it won't actually affect much.
• — In early stages of a hospital with numerous illnesses, it can be difficult to get started due to the need to train your employees or perform research on new disease treatment. While performing research or training, you don't have access to those employees. So you either suffer the loss of revenue and reputation by not treating them or you can take out a loan and hire people to do the more mundane tasks with the contingency that people with required skills are available.
• — You're unable to change the outer walls of any the hospitals, you can only to expand into per-designed annexes/plots. You are able change any inner walls, however.
• — There are not many micro-managing features. I list this as a negative because it can be difficult at times to get your employees to do what needs to get done. Essentially, there are only a few methods to do this, either disallow them into certain types of rooms or increase/decrease the frequency that numerous employees can take breaks at the same time. There's a fair amount of it being automated provided the needed elements are in place. You can manually tell them to go back to work or take breaks, but this can become tedious with large a staff. For patients, you can send them directly to treatment or move them around in the queue.

• — Employee's happiness boils down to amount of pay and breaks — that's it. VIP guests care about cleanliness and attractiveness more which can bolster or hurt reputation.
• — Hospitals can get pretty big in the later stages. 10+ plots, which can be very chaotic.
• — Some mechanics are not made clear, diagnosis seems to be based on skill of doctors, nurses, upgraded equipment — the EZ-Scan to Fluid Analysis. There seems to be some level of RNG. Even after all my time, I'm still not sure.
• — I had a few bugs. — Ex: One of my nurses kept saying her path was blocked even though she was in the middle of an open ward.
