Sega’s folks told us, “About three hours of gameplay, but it’ll be at your disposal all day. Have fun”. We also thought we’d be quick enough, take the article home, and record the necessary videos in the same time so we could use the afternoon in other ways. Ours Two Point Campus test instead, it went way beyond the estimated time, more than three hours…
university of life
When we finally closed the app, it was about eight hours with some breaks in between, but still eight, long, hours. If you don’t really enjoy them, you don’t throw them in front of the screen. We even gave ourselves a few delicious marathons at the previous Two Point Hospital, but a new setting wouldn’t have been enough to make it a second time, and so we started playing with Two Point Campus, somewhat biased, cautiously. Also, the idea run a university Clearly American, the most iconic but also the furthest from us, it didn’t sound as glamorous as the previous or a return to a roller coaster chasing Theme Park legend. All doubts are resolved as the game introduces new mechanics that are often closely linked to the particular setting chosen.
three years together
At Two Point Hospital, the sick patient came in and, if all went well, he walked through the cash register in a few minutes and came out well. The road to individual student satisfaction at İki Nokta Campus is much longer and more arduous because it takes three years for them to reach the level where all their pedagogical, organizational and recreational needs will be met. It is in our interest to ensure that the school path is completed as the tuition is annual and major problems not only alienate a student but also make our university less attractive to new students. Speaking of freshmen, high school students come to visit often and inevitably end up in other university classes if they’re not impressed by what they see.
Two Point Campus’ three-year college term also includes: problems What we did not least foresee when setting up our first classrooms: now in the second, with the arrival of a new wave of students after the first and simpler school year to replace the previous ones. year, it is very likely that the timelines lessons will start to overlap. First-year and second-year students may need the same teacher and the same classroom at the same time. And we are talking about a single course, but it is possible to bring new ones by exponentially increasing the number of specialist classrooms and teachers needed each year.
Edit fields
This new layer depthThe already well-established scheme appreciated at Two Point Hospital was added here, revised and expanded, with the possibility of changing and adding elements even outside the structure and limiting the use of multiple dorm-based dorms, bathrooms, showers and canteens. factors starting with the gender of the occupants. Spacious and well-organized dormitories will make a big difference in how much student families are willing to spend as it will reflect on students’ school performance.
In the second campus that the game offers, we had the opportunity to try the last one, we were able to start building the first ones. fraternitiesbut the impression is that most of its main features were still disabled so ours was mostly a taste.
Lessons and entertainment
Also on the second campus, the game introduces the first extracurricular club to be converted into a pub, nightclub or more general entertainment center and then assign it to different student groups that will fill the university in increasing numbers. At this point in the game, we’ve clearly gone beyond the completeness of the version we’re testing by aiming for the highest score. The AI didn’t seem to be interested in new activities and the quality of the simulation was clearly declining. It was especially painful because at that moment we would finally see the collective element of activities that, according to the promises of the developers, would foster friendships and the birth of any love among students. At the moment, however, this aspect of the game remains a question mark, as does its ability to keep attention high throughout all proposed scenarios, which even Two Point Hospital fails to manage perfectly.
Building and running a university is not as easy as running a hospital, at least in the world of Two Point Campus. In this new game, the team is trying to enrich and expand the formula with a deeper management system than the previous Two Point Hospital, but without spoiling this urgency that these products have always been enjoyed by users of all ages. Now we just have to wait for the full game, we love what we tried, but this is only a small part of the content we will find in stores on August 9th. Two Point Campus will be translated into Italian (partially already exists) and, unlike Hospital, will be immediately available on all platforms: PC, Xbox (also on GamePass), PlayStation and Switch.
