Two Point Hospital feels like a port of a PC game, and that’s the version I’d recommend if you’ve got the option. I’d use Firaxis’ XCOM as an example for a benchmark for a PC-centric game that felt like it could have been designed with consoles in mind. Two Point Hospital for Switch is the second kind. The kind that is so seamless that you’d never tell you weren’t playing on the intended platform and the kind where the compromises made remain apparent. So, how does it hold up as a console game? To implement a bit of hearty and spurious generalisation for the sake of making a point: There are two types of ports in this world, son.
Both are incredibly compulsive and enjoyable ways to play, and both are elevated by Two Point Hospital’s defining idiosyncrasy of cartoon gallows humour, dad jokes, and ruthless capitalist efficiency.

Going for full marks will have you micromanaging staff skills and patient health, and designing each part of your hospital to perfection. If you’re just after the lower stars, it’s a fairly chill, occasionally hectic management game. You get a gold star and a lollipopĬompleting objectives in each hospital awards you with a star ranking out of three. Again, this all makes for a smoother treadmill and keeps those disease dollars rolling in. Keep reputation high, and you’ll get more patients, which means more money to spend on singing fish and opulent water fountains to pretty up the place, to train and hire better staff, and to run manipulative marketing campaigns. The more efficient your misery machine is, the more you keep patients in fizzy drinks and snacks and regular toilet breaks, the more you can charge them without it damaging your hospital’s reputation. Get patients in, diagnose them, cure them, send them home, and keep them happy enough along the way that they don’t seem to mind that you’re grossly overcharging them.
Or the sentient monobrows that creep along the floors, just begging to be sniped with your cursor. Like the Little Shop of Horrors-esque carnivorous plants that you can place around your hospital so patients find it more attractive, that occasionally spit out skulls at wandering staff, who then hastily stash them in their jackets. Two Point Hospital is also goofy, colourful, occasionally hilarious, and layered with so many quickfire gags I’m still finding new ones after dozens of hours with it. Two Point Hospital is a game about designing a machine to profit from misery, and designing it so efficiently that the schmucks inside of it never realise it was a machine to begin with.
