I'm buying this as soon as I get home, I love Theme Hospital.

I was going to wait as I'll be knee deep in Dragon Quest and Spiderman next week, but I have a free weekend this weekend... Done.

For anyone looking to grab Two Point Hospital for a little under $20, there's a 30% discount with code 2PHVOIDU on Voidu for about 5 hours.

Yes, it is mostly a more polished and modern version of Theme Hospital. But there are quite some additions to the simulation.

People get bored, hungry and thirsty in your hospital and yes you absolutely need to place those items for people to be "happy" in your hospital.
Patients get unhappy when they are hungry, bored or thirsty so they can somewhat wait leave early and be pissed off if you don't care.

The skill of a doctor is now more complex than it was in Theme Hospital. They have traits that can be trained. If I remember correctly the old TH just gave you a qualification for a doctor like "psychiatrist", but now you can improve the stats of psychiatric diagnoses. Treatment is also trainable. Additionally you can upgrade the machines of your rooms.

There are some QoL features and more fleshed out systems than in the original, but it is just adding the cherry to the cake. It doesn't change the whole formula.

I like that nurses and janitors also have special skills as well. But still need more time with the game to see how much it changes the game as compared to Theme Hospital. Using another series as an example, it's like they learnt from the Dragon Quest series in how to modernise the series without changing the core gameplay.

How do I know I have the golden toilet DLC?

I signed up for the pass but don't see any DLC on my steam game page.

Completed the first hospital and now at my second. I feel that the pacing so far seems off. There seem to be more illnesses this time but less memorable? Also the receptionist disappeared twice. I thought they would just stay at the desk permanently.

The controls and everything else is basically a clone of how Theme Hospital is so it's easy to pick up.

Did the receptionist go on break?

Probably. I'm just not used to them going for breaks. I remember the ones in Theme Hospital not going?

The original has them never go on breaks which I always found weird. They literally just stayed there like statues and never even asked for raises. Sightly creepy lol

They have needs like all other staff. Buy a Newsagent or something else that requires an assistant, they will take over if the receptionist has to go do something.

Thanks for posting this deal, being able to pick this up for $20 made the decision a lot easier! I loved Theme Hospital as a kid, so this is worth it for the nostalgia alone I reckon.

crienne · Aug 30, 2018

Never played Theme Hospital, but the Voidu deal was too good to pass up. What am I in store for here?

Coxy · Aug 30, 2018

Just bought! Looking forward to getting stuck in

"We apologise for the litter that you dropped on our floor."

Did an involuntary giggle when I heard the announcer for the first time. Did not know how much I wanted this. Thanks Voidu.

Seems people are negative on the game due to:

Devuno
Too simple - they want to diagnose patients
No sandbox
Too expensive for what the game offers

I know people hate devuno but I didn't know so many people outrightly don't buy games with it.

Linux version is Devuno free.

Its great isnt it :)

Im so glad I get to see another game like this

DiceHands · Aug 30, 2018

Man I wanted to get this but the price is too steep right now for me unfortunately. Watching these twitch streams has me itching to play!

The game is really fun. I played about an hour at lunch. I like that they ease you into it but there's still a lot of potential to be creative and build. The humor is astoundingly funny.

Zedelima · Aug 30, 2018

My only gripe is the lack of a sandbox (create you own hospital from 0) but is very fun, im surprised

Tempy · Aug 30, 2018

I re-sized my ward which kicked out the nurses and 2 patients, but got an alert about the 2 patients not being able to find their way back to the ward. Any ideas how to solve this issue? They're just standing there - tried clicking "Send Home", but they're not budging. New patients have no problems using the ward.

fuck me that OT title is hilarious

Pachinko · Aug 30, 2018

This kind of snuck out today huh ? It's pretty fun so far, I 3 starred the first map and saved. Took about 90 minutes. Anyone who has played the older theme hospital will be right at home here.

Tempy I had a similar problem so I just resized the ward a second time and it seemed like the lost person eventually found their way around.

That's weird. In my case, when I was resizing the ward, patients just went to the second ward. Is this a bug?

Spark · Aug 30, 2018

I really hope this sells well because I would love a startopia successor. Two Point Space Station next!

I had no problems re-sizing my ward. Patients walked right back in after I was done editing. This may be a bug.

Tony · Aug 30, 2018

Finally got to try this out, and it's fun! I'm at 2 stars on the first hospital, but I don't really see a need to build more rooms, etc. because I'm able to get everyone that's been walking in treated pretty easily. But I need to increase value... Do I need to spend some Kudosh I've been hoarding for nicer stuff?

Edit: Nevermind, I just needed to wait a little longer! Value went up over time and the year end awards helped a lot.

Yes!

Played it for three hours or so yesterday, time flew by, really enjoying it so far, pretty relaxing. Only things that feel a little weird are the Kudoshs and the 1-2-3 star mechanic, not really sure that kind of "modernization" was necessary but oh well. Looking forward to playing more today.

GangWarily · Aug 31, 2018

Loooving this game so far.

Quick question...anybody figured out what to do when the 'Further Diagnosis Required' prompt comes up? It says to build more Diagnosis Rooms but then I built several General Diagnosis Rooms and they just continue to wander the lobby until the timer runs out.

Dandy Crocodile · Aug 31, 2018

I bought this for my bf but he has some questions.
There's a symbol that appears over one specific room. A green plus with a blue arrow over it pointing to the right. He wants to know what it means.

You sure you don't have anything to research? There are other diagnosis rooms besides the GP

DanteSparda504 · Aug 31, 2018

I hope this makes its way to consoles. This looks soooo good and brings back so many memories of playing Theme Hospital on PS1.

Should be the high priority sign. If you click on a room you can set the priority to high or low (normal), so if you've got lots of patients coming into the ward, for example, you can set the priority to high to ensure there are nurses there.

Thanks!

I've finished the first two hospitals with a 3 star rating last night. What a wonderful game!

I've noticed that the comfort level of my rooms is rather low tho. Any tips on how to improve this?

Kida · Aug 31, 2018

I really enjoyed the couple of hours I spent with this yesterday. It is pretty much just Theme Hospital. I do hope that they plan to expand the scope a bit with updates and expansions as the base is really solid.

With how simple it is (in a good way) I would be amazed if it didn't come to consoles too, just like Theme Hospital.

Gowans · Aug 31, 2018

Smashed about 4 hours into this yesterday.

Love the tone and themes of illnesses.

Really enjoying it, I need to keep a better eye on my staff tho, seems like they all bugger off and they are the first to get lost in the mix of making things efficient

Sherlocked · Aug 31, 2018

Man. I don't remember that the GP office is the worst bottleneck after such a short time. Even in the third? hospital the people queue up to 10 and more with three GP offices in use with a doctor working in it.

Does kinda suck there isn't but then again I don't remember there being on in the original Theme Hospital so not surprised there isn't one. Though be a good edition for patch later.

There is a specific skill Doctors can have with General Practice, make sure all of them working in the Office have it so they're working at peak efficiency

Same here. I saw plenty of them looking for work, while lots of my plants were almost dying. I just pick them up and put them in front of the plants. :)

I had this. I went in and re-edited and moved a bed and then clicked the green tick and all was fine again. Was extremely annoying when 6 patients got kicked out at once though. Only issue I've come across.

Yeah, I've trained them but somehow it seems that the people are just queueing up there. I'll take a closer look how it leads up to that situation. Generally I hire the most expensive staff since money is seldom the problem.

You're gonna love the University Hospital

GeoGonzo · Aug 31, 2018

So, one of the doctors gave me a mission to find and shoot some tiny hairy things, who'd usually hide in dark places... but I haven't had any luck finding them so far.

Pick up items like vending machines and the reception desk. Heaps of them usually hide underneath

In the third hospital I had 8 GPs offices and huge queues.

On the fourth I've built an area dedicated to GPs offices right off the bat. I built 3 before I even unpaused to start, it's helped a lot.

Rygar 8Bit · Aug 31, 2018

Yeah having office types next to each other helps alot. Also make sure to train your doctors in the things that give them efficiency in what they are doing.
Don't forget you can edit and pick up rooms to move them around as well.
