Copying from a reddit post I wrote

Bought the game about 2 weeks ago. I played the tutorial and the first mission of the campaign (took me 2 attempts).
All I did in the first mission was to build a General Surgery and some missing Radiology rooms. And then I waited for a got hour or so just waiting next to my PC. Game was running in full speed and I just waited for the money to rise till I finished the level.

I was told I could manage the hospital and manage the cases.
For the specific patients, it feels like a simple point and click mobile game:
1. Click all diagnostic options till you get a diagnostic
2. Click all treatments till patient is healthy.
I have no control over priority of patient for OR, I don't even know what the queue or why my doctors are idling after finishing an operation if there are still people waiting (it says Idle, they aren't resting, why won't you operate??)

I could not sort all patients according to bigger problems. I can't see congestion, I don't know if people are happy and healthy.

While in development, this game was constantly compared to Two Point Hospital, the latter being the "funny" hospital sim and Project Hospital is the "serious" sim. I played TPH on the free weekend now, and I had more control over the patients, the departments and the doctors. I had overlays and map filters, I had a general approval rating and I could force which doctor to work in which room. I had control.

At the moment, Project hospital feels more like a Sims game (for the building part), and watching an ant farm.
BTW, for the build part, because of no rotation and other major QOL features missing for this type of building game, I just gave up and opted for either prefabs or just placing the bare necessities.

Am I missing something? I want to have fun, but at this point, I simply don't understand what am I supposed to do in this game.

A VERY powerful character.
Being able to use trophies for both craft and strength allows a super fast way to ramp up one of your stats, or to finish that 5str 2 craft you had forever in your trophy bag.

Stealing a follower is amazing. I always wanted a better way to steal followers besides Mesmerism (or playing the Sorceress).
These 2 perks is enough for a great character, not rolling on crags/forest and not losing life in the desert is just added bonus.

Highly recommends.

Edit: Completely missed that the Vampiress can steal followers without fighting. Oh well, I still think the Genie is great.

I'm ignoring the price for the review.
The Devil's minion is a boring character to play, without any real strong points.
The graveyard/glade perk is nice, effectively allowing to teleport around the outer and middle regions, or to restore some fate. There's really nothing more to it, just a random bonus in case you are around these 2 places.

The Spirit redirection is mainly for trolling, I would recommend at least have it be able to redirect to any region (no-inner).

I don't understand why preventing weapons/armor was needed. It's really not such a powerful char to force these restrictions.


As for the price - I bought it for 0.49$ just for the sake of earning another achievement. I doubt I will ever play it again.
