Two Point Hospital Game Review

I played Two Point Hospital in 2019, a year after it’s initial release, but I decided to revisit it. I think this is well worth the playthrough, even for a few hours. Or twenty-six hours if you look at my Steam record.

I had forgotten how humorous this game is, with the whacky medical conditions both physically and mentally afflicting your poor patients.

For instance, there’s a literal medical condition in which people have pots and pans on their heads. The solution? A machine with a giant magnet to extract it off their head. Not to mention that the game spares no expense to animate these cures for the various afflictions; stretching the neck and hear the patient whine as the pot is eventually removed. Needless to say, I was not expecting that.

Of course, there are the standard traction beds as well as taking care of your staff with a café and lounge.

For the mechanics, it plays out like a city builder, where you yourself as the hospital administrator has to build and construct rooms for each condition and make sure the machines are functioning as they should be. You can hire mechanics for that, as well as janitors.

Going back to the conditions of the game, psychiatry is included in the game, along with a condition where the patient believes they are Freddie Mercury (outfit included) known as a “Mock Star”. After meeting with the psychiatrist on their lounge chair, the patient does a twirl and returns to normal.

The detail in this game is amazing, down to each individual having their own first and last name. Which, brings me to my next point: Death. Yes, people can die in this game, and it takes a janitor to be your savior. Yes, a janitor. Why them? Because it is a janitor that holds the key for salvation: A vacuum. You see, if a person dies, their ghost haunts the hospital. This would be funny in of itself, but it actually delays things in the halls because the ghost scares other patients, causing them to run away from their appointments. The janitor needs the proper training, but using their handy dandy vacuum, they can suck up the ghost and relieve the hospital of the nuisance, or former patient.

Included in this game are conditions such as the patient has a lightbulb for a head, known as “Lightheadedness”, or the one with the person being a clown, needing to be treated with the “Dehumorfier” – a literal circus tent in your hospital. Each stage has a level of challenge and new conditions to treat, and the humor is very funny along with themes around the holidays in-game as days pass by.

Conclusion

I thoroughly enjoyed this game, as replaying it brought back a lot of cool memories and building the hospital brought on it’s own challenges. Where to place each object, how many beds you need for traction, and what in tarnation is that walking through the doors as you complete more and more levels to uncover what else this game has to offer.

There are other Two Point games, such as Two Point Museum (released in 2025) and Two Point Campus (released in 2022). I will get to those, and if they hold up like the Hospital version, it will also be a treat for the player as well.

As of October 2025, you can get Two Point Hospital on Steam for $30, or you can purchase the Two Point Triple Pack to get all three games for $80. I definitely feel like this game is worth the full price of admission, and will gain your attention for hours at a time.
