Two Point Hospital gets the basics absolutely bang-on. Mass hysteria seems a real problem in Two Point County. In the meantime, you’ll need a handful of psychiatry wards to handle patients who believe they’re rock stars or disco legends. The duller, greyer members of the population need a Chromatherapy ward where they’re doused with brighter colours. Lightheadedness, for example – an illness where the patient’s head becomes a lightbulb – needs a special De-Lux Treatment Room where the bulb can be removed and the normal bonce replaced. You’ve got your basic reception areas and GP’s offices, not to mention your pharmacies, diagnostics rooms and treatment wards, but it’s not long before you’re adding a range of more exotic facilities designed to treat the game’s weirder and more wonderful diseases. Each hospital is a shell, usually expandable by buying and converting nearby lots, and your first challenge is to make the most of the available space, laying out new rooms as you can afford them and they become available, to treat the patients who’ll soon start pouring in.

Like its illustrious forbear, Two Point Hospital is a hospital management sim with a distinctly British sense of humour, where you’re brought in to manage a series of hospitals in the varied regions of Two Point County.
At times, Two Point Hospital feels less like a homage or remake, and more like a long-lost sequel, sticking close to the style and gameplay of the original, but with a few tweaks that make it a better game long-term. Two Point Hospital is a spiritual successor to Bullfrog’s classic Theme Hospital, developed by a team led by Bullfrog veterans Mark Webley and Gary Carr, who helped build the original. It’s a weird sensation, playing something that’s both familiar and so different after a two-decade pause.
