![]() ![]() “All the maladies you can cure by building a Ward.” Sometimes it’s more advanced treatment facilities, like the Colourizer for Grey Anatomy. Early on that’s usually a disease or group of diseases, i.e. Each level introduces new ideas and constraints. Once that’s done, the next hospital opens up and the player is allowed to advance. All one has to do is fulfil a stage’s initial set of goals. Getting one star is easy enough for the most part. Progression in Two Point Hospital is tied to each hospital’s star ratings. This changes up the strategy that you have to take care of multiple hospitals. Still, others will be located in major city centres, where foot-traffic is plentiful and crises are common. Others will be located in Two Point County’s balmy southern regions, where having a boatload of A/C units is just as important as having enough diagnosis rooms. Some will be located in cold, mountainous foothills catering to accident-prone skiers. Players will eventually find themselves in charge of a whole network of healthcare facilities, each with its own unique needs and quirks. You start off as an administrator for a small, one-building clinic in the suburbs while soon you’re laying out enormous, eight-building facilities in esteemed castle-like universities. Two Point Hospital takes place entirely within the expansive Two Point County, a county so large that it has several biomes. The game gets a bit hectic for sure as you start building your healthcare empire and managing multiple hospitals. If you’re a fan of dry sarcasm and bad puns (and I am) then Two Point Hospital is a joy. It has the same wry sense of humour, one that’s consistently elicited laughs from me. And why not? With members of the original Theme Hospital team working on Two Point Hospital, it might as well fall to them to make a sequel. The diseases are different, the interface more advanced and streamlined, but Two Point Hospital will feel familiar to any Theme Hospital veteran. Two Point Hospital is a faithful successor, one that’s content to mostly take the same ideas and update them for modern hardware. All while hiring doctors and staff, making sure there were enough clinics and winning a couple of awards here and there. ![]() It wasn’t a game about curing cancer or stopping an influenza epidemic, instead, it took the dreariness of modern-day healthcare management and made it fun! Your doctors had to figure out how to deflate giant heads, most likely by sticking a giant needle into it or to snip off a part of an abnormally large tongue. Twenty years ago, Bullfrog put out a little pseudo-simulation game called Theme Hospital. Released on PC and Mac last week, Two Point Hospital isn’t just a modern day remake of Theme Hospital but instead builds on what made the original sim great. We are now investigating this and hope to be able to do an update soon with Retina support enabled.We were pretty excited when we heard that the original creators of Theme Hospital – Gary Carr and Mark Webley were releasing a spiritual successor to the zany 1990s hit. This is because we unfortunately have had to disable Mac Retina Support, due to it often causing a boot to black screen. Some of you have noticed that you are unable to select the highest resolutions. We are hoping that this will solve some of the issues - let us know! There may still be a delay for the game to start - 30 seconds or so on a black screen. If you are having trouble launching the game (crashes or black screens) then select 'Two Point Hospital (OpenGL 10.11, 10.12)' ![]() If you are on Mac, you will notice when launching the game you will have a pop up where you can select 'Two Point Hospital' or 'Two Point Hospital (OpenGL 10.11, 10.12) We're working on optimising even more, and have now added an experimental launch open which may help users on El Capitan (10.11) and Sierra (10.12) Please make sure you check out the minimum specs on our store page. We recommend that if you're having problems on mac, you first of all try updating to the latest version of High Sierra. We're aware of some issues affecting a portion of mac users. ![]()
