Project Hospital Review (borbelytomi)

It's an absolute marvel of a game, and I haven't even experienced everything it can offer.
Basically, it's a 3 in 1 concept, offering 3 very distinctive game-styles.
1) Hospital builder - it let's you build a huge (or small if you want) hospital, put every single wall/door/window/floor tile/furniture/equipment/decoration/plant/tree/grass tile yourself, using great room prefabs or the combination of the two. You can even build the full hospital without ever starting any kind of simulation
2) Hospital management/simulator - starting from a readily available hospital or one that you built, you let all the doctors, nurses, janitors,technicians do their own jobs, treating patients, inspecting them, sending them to different departments. Monitor how they do their job, hire and fire them, buy equipment, assign work, training for all and do everything to let the hospital run smoothly, not leaving any patients untreated or dead and not going bankrupt while doing so (can even borrow money from the bank).
3) Doctor simulator - take control of some of the doctors or all of them, decide for all controlled patients what inspections they have, what treatments they get, send them to other departments if necessary, diagnose them, narrow their diagnosis down from hundreds of possible sicknesses to just one, and when they are fully treated, let them go home and collect the money. Do it with all hints given to you or in "specialist mode" with a minimum amount of hints helping you.
As you can imagine, all three of the above would result in very different game-play. In my humble opinion, if you want to get the most out of the game, you do a combination of them. Build something, hire the people, do some of the treatments yourself so you get to know and experience all sorts of sicknesses, diagnosis, inspections, treatments, and let them run sometimes without your help to be able to find out bottlenecks, tweak how things run. I've been doing it step by step, starting from a small simple ER clinic to a huge (almost) mega hospital now - and I haven't even finished, haven't even added infectious diseases. You can find well over a hundred episodes of Let's play on my youtube channel, just find "maturegamerhd".
Further to all this, there is a very extensive mod community with awesome extensions that sometimes rival with the DLC's the developers had put up - while it seems to me that the developers have been active and listening to the player base as well.
Over all... after decades of gaming experience, this game has become my absolute favorite. You don't even have to wait for some promotion, it's worth way more than the regular price the developers ask for, including all the DLCs...
10/10.... (100/10 actually)
