Project Hospital Review (Varg)
It hurts to not recommend it, because I like it at its core but it has simply too many small flaws that make it a bit of a hassle to play comfortably.
The tutorial was OK but the campaign seems to be those kind of missions where you take over a prebuilt hospital, rather than building your own. Not my cup of tea.
The sandbox however, is where the game shines imo!
Start small, gain funds and build bigger.
The graphic is really clean and well made but there are some clipping issues.
Building is rather unintuitive and you cannot in an easy way change the wallpapers in your hospital without a lot of manual work and checking each camera angle that you got it all. No "shift-click to paint all".
Grows tiresome fast when you rebuild often.
Also the game autopauses everytime you enter buildmode. which you have to do if you want to browse purchaseable items. Kinda annoying. A lot of pause/unpause.
If you want to change things that you think would be in the options or management menu, you might need to edit a game file instead. Nothing really difficult, but still. Worth mentioning.
I didn't really feel there was that much to do. Most of the time I just left the game alone while it would manage on its own and earn money for me.
Build rooms and zones, assign staff, leave it, come back later when you have more funds and build more.
(you can borrow money also but I found no need)
I don't really mind this though. Kinda chill. Buuuuuut I found no way of keeping the game open on my second monitor without minimizing itself as soon as I clicked on my primary monitor.
So I couldn't have it chillin' on the second monitor where I could peek at what happens while doing other things.
I love the really detailed symptoms and how you could follow a patient through examinations and see live how the doctors would find out what was the problem and read about the decided treatments.
Also really fun to actively take the role of a doctor yourself.
There is a great amount of detail in this part of the game. Really good.
On that note, it's actually too complex at times. Finding a certain piece of information while managing all departments could sometimes be a bit of detective work. There's so many pages of details/buttons you can click through.
The music was really good and fitting in the background without becoming annoying. I liked it. Some nice tunes.
So, all in all.. TLDR:
Good, ambitious, but too many issues for me to really enjoy myself.
5/10
