Project Hospital

I'm enjoying this game, though it can be frustrating. The graphics are excellent. The game-play is pretty much real-world, with patients presenting with symptoms of actual diseases and conditions, not silly made-up ones. Patients can even present with COVID-19. Project Hospital is a highly complex game with wonderful detail.
BUT -- as a former registered nurse, I cringe at some of the things I see in the game. People with fractures of foot, ankle, or leg walking around? Where are the wheelchairs? A patient waiting for surgery in the morning gets up and eats a snack right before going into surgery. That is a big no-no. The patient I saw doing that was having surgery for her fractured mandible (jawbone). How could she even eat at all? Another patient came in with a fractured finger, and comes out with an arm cast on! An arm cast won't do a fractured finger much good, really. The finger should just be splinted. It is certainly silly to see the patients who have been hospitalized overnight, some of them waiting for surgery in the morning, get up and walk out of the hospital as soon as it opens in the morning without having their surgery! That's just bizarre. But it is just a game, and we must go with the flow.
One of the biggest challenges is to build a hospital, and that is not easy to do! And it can also be frustrating. I put in one section of a department that was required. I used the "pre-fab" for that section, a four-bed ward. The game kept telling me I didn't have that ward, when I doggone well did, and it was one that came with all the equipment needed. But it kept telling me I didn't have it. So I demolished the one I had put in, and put in the SAME pre-fab in the same location, and the game acknowledged that I did have that ward in place. There is very little instruction in most walkthroughs on the mechanics of the game. The only one I found that does have such information is at Gamepressure.com:
Some of the terminology takes some getting used to for American players. One unit is called the High Dependency Unit. In American usage, that would be the Critical Care Unit. "Orthopaedy" is their word for what we call Orthopedics. And so on. It doesn't take much time to figure out what the terms mean. The learning curve for the game is steep. I've had to trash a number of games, but I learn each time I do that, and can get further in the game each time I start over. I must confess that I'm 75, but I've also been playing computer games since the late 1970s. Give Project Hospital a try.

I've played far less than my hours suggest, but that's part of why I like the game as a mom. It pauses when things happen, so it's a good game to play for an hour while the laundry or dishwasher are doing their thing. If something comes up, I can just stand up and take care of it and not worry that it will crash and burn while I am AFK so long as I have things set up well. I don't get a lot of time to unwind these days and this game is all the complexity I want in a Simulation or Management game while still being respectful of my time. It doesn't expect you to memorize an encyclopedia's worth of data - everything you need to know can be quickly checked by clicking on a sensible icon to bring up another menu or hovering for a tooltip. Yet, it still has a learning curve and your first attempt or two will fail badly if you don't organize well.
That being said, you can't play the game well by acting as if it is turn based and only doing things when it auto-pauses.
There is some information that you must get just by watching: there isn't a statistic anywhere I've seen for travel or "filling needs" times, so if certain doctors or nurses are spending half the day walking to/from the cafeteria you have to see that with your own eyes and sort out what you want to do about it. Is a stool sample needed? The patient is going to walk to the nearest available toilet first, so two small bathrooms can be much more efficient than one big one. Getting a feel for a good layout takes time, and this game really is all about the macro-management level. You can use micro-management to get through a tough spot if you need to make money to fix something that wasn’t working well, but that’s quite literally the bandage you put on to give the person with a broken arm the ‘fast treatment’ mood buff so they don’t mind how dirty the floors are in this department.

I played many hospital simulators in my life from the early 2000's to now and the only one that comes close to the real deal is this game. In short. Detail , detail , and detail is what makes this game so enjoyable as a healthcare worker myself I have to say I was impressed. There is a learning curb but once you figure out what you need for your hospital to function it really opens up endless scenarios and possibilities I especially love the trauma center , radiology department , and the ability to diagnose a patient. This !!!! This is what makes the game for me ! 10/10

This is a fun hospital management game. If you liked the idea of Theme Hospital or Two Point Hospital but wished it was more realistic then you should take a look at this game.
The story missions are very challenging which may be a turnoff to some people. Good news is sandbox is not effected by the story mission progression at all.
