83 Two Point Hospital

Release date: fall tbd

This Sega-published, indie-developed sim is a spiritual successor to the 1997 cult classic Theme Hospital. (The "Two Point" of the title comes from the name of the new developer, Two Point Studios, which includes some of the original creators of Theme Hospital.)

As in the original game, you run a hospital where you must cure patients who have come down with increasingly silly and peculiar (and quite fictitious) illnesses. You'll need to manage staff and grow your business—it's a serious simulation, albeit one that doesn't take itself seriously—and you'll also be able to compete in multiplayer challenges, if that's your thing. If all goes well, Hospital will be the first of multiple simulations to take place in the same general location, Two Point County.
