Two Point Hospital Review (PS4) - In Case You Needed A Second Opinion...
/
We’re back! A year and half after its original release, Sega and Two Point Studios, with the help of Red Kite Studios, have finally released the console port of Two Point Hospital for the PS4! I’m here to check it out on the PS4 and provide my diagnosis as to whether this game will be something you’ll want to keep on your console storage, or pass on.

Most of what I’ve stated in that first review still holds true for this port, except for the updates the game has had since then. With that being said, here’s what I found out after stepping back into the game after a year.
Convenience and Extra Polish Further Sweeten the Deal
When I first got a hold of Two Point Hospital on PC, a lot of the features we have now were not available. You had to rebuild a new office from scratch if you needed to, and patients used to get stuck at General Practitioners’ offices (since they had to start out there before treatment). Since the game has been out for a year and has received a steady stream of updates with the help of community feedback, it plays better than ever.
Gone are the days where you’d have to spend more time building additional offices when all you wanted to do was recreate the perfection of your last one. Why change it up when you’re obviously amazing at hospital interior designing? Jokes aside, the new features are very much welcome.
Final Diagnosis
After playing with the game for a good solid 20+ hours on my wife’s PS4 Slim, I can’t find a single thing that turns me off from it. The quirky, fun design is entertaining, and the humorous illnesses are fun. It feels like a solid management game, even when in the later levels it becomes progressively more difficult to manage a large hospital with different issues. Red Kite Studios has done a splendid job mapping out the controls for the game. Coming from a PC’s mouse and keyboard to the PS4 Controller, I expected to feel my control over the situation limited, but those fears were groundless as the clever control scheme didn’t leave me feeling encumbered or hampered.
Overall it was a pleasant experience, and managing a hospital on the couch is a whole other experience than sitting at a desk. If I could change my rating of this game, I'd give it a 10/10.
Two Point Hospital is available now on all major consoles (PS4, XBOX, Switch)

Metaphor: ReFantazio is now my favorite title from the Persona team by far. It’s one of those rare games where its main pillars work harmoniously, and you get lost in its charm. It’s a pristine JRPG, with enough style and substance to satisfy hardcore JRPG fans, Persona fans, and even those who rarely touch JRPGs.
