Two Point Museum Review (Snowy Joe)
To preface, I never could get into Two Point Hospital or Two Point Campus.
They both felt more like a puzzle game than a management game.
Build a room, add stuff to that room to progress the game, move onto the next room.
Two Point Museum feels like a proper Tycoon game!
You can have a Dinosaur Exhibit next to a Future Exhibit in the same room for example. No longer are you restricted on what you can do "per room" and you can also design the layout of your museum to your hearts content. It feels way more like you're playing Zoo Tycoon or Roller Coaster Tycoon than the previous two games.
I also love the new Expedition mechanic where it adds a sort of "light looting" element where you need to conduct expeditions to add new exhibits to your museum. It adds a level of randomness to the game and makes each new play-through different from the last.
Also, each exhibit "type" is very different from each other. Fossil Exhibits need to be found multiple times for them to be completed where as Paranormal exhibits are more like a ghost zoo...
A GHOST ZOO
.
All I can say is I was never a huge fan of the previous two games but THIS GAME, TWO POINT MUSEUM I COULD NOT STOP PLAYING!
It just clicked instantly for me and I haven't played such a fun and creative tycoon game in SOOOOOOOOOO long.
If you loved the old style Zoo Tycoon and other managment games then THIS IS THE GAME FOR YOU!
