Uh oh.Your mom said you had to go to college or get a job, so she reluctantly signed up for a media studies course and spent three years smoking and watching doobie countdownNow you have a dorky degree, a lingering reputation as the brains of your family and a mountain of debt from worrying tuition fees. Thank you very much, Nick Clegg.
You don’t have to go to college to get a degree. Because from Hard Knock School he already has four A-level backed living college degrees. We have smart instincts and street smarts, and smart people know that college only serves him one thing. God bless capitalism.
Two Point Campus allows you to live out your fantasies of running a college, raking in cheddar cheese and unscrupulously driving today’s youth into financial crisis under the guise of academic progress. If for some reason you prefer to do so instead, you can also manage a welcoming, friendly, and well-run campus. whichever.
If you’ve played 2018’s Two Point Hospital, you should feel right at home here, as there’s a lot of DNA shared between the two titles. Like Two Point Hospital, Campus is a management simulation that will help you navigate increasingly complex adversities, reduce room for error, and run your business successfully. The business here attracts students to study at the university by offering a range of professionally taught subjects and a vibrant student lifestyle that students enjoy.
A worthwhile campus needs courses to study, teachers to teach courses, classrooms of teachers to teach courses, and so on. Staffrooms keep teachers, janitors and assistants happy as long as they are well stocked with entertainment and snacks. Meanwhile, student lounges and unions are great places for students to unwind after a tough day. Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmare on youtube.
These rooms and many more are filled with paint jobs, artwork, various explanatory plants, air conditioning for hot weather, radiators to combat the cold, lighting, furniture, and rugs to really tie the rooms together. It’s customizable. It’s very easy to create and decorate a room. Once you’ve designed a room you like, you can save the template. If you need another version of that room elsewhere on campus, you can copy and paste it to your heart’s content. .
Each mission in the campaign must lead the campus from humble beginnings to academic glory, facing various trials and tribulations along the way. Most missions start by taking over an empty building, designing basic facilities such as classrooms and auditoriums, toilets and showers, and dormitories. Earning stars requires meeting certain criteria, and earning stars unlocks more locations to manage.
The goals of each mission are easy to understand. Perhaps there is a need to raise the overall happiness level of the students to a certain level, so booking a band to play at the student union, building fancy dormitories, and installing a crazy taxi arcade machine in the lounge will put a smile on your face. You may also need to raise a certain amount of money or ensure that a target number of students graduate with high grades.
As you progress through the game, the subjects you are allowed to teach become ridiculous and the challenges escalate accordingly. The wizarding school has a level set where you have to teach your kids all about the dark arts while surviving attacks from evil wizards and ghostly creatures, and you have to lead the local college to victory with strange cheese. Some levels have A sport based on students dressing up as mice.
Even late in the game, it’s not too taxing and you can finish the entire campaign in about 30 hours. Even if you hit a wall, you can usually brute force your way to the next star with lateral thinking. Campus never really feels hopeless, no matter how badly you do it. It’s a management simulation for those who don’t want to spend four hours building a business, only to discover that he made one small mistake in the beginning and the profits collapsed. You are kind of free to play around here and see what happens.
The game’s sense of humor is somewhere between non-offensive dad jokes and typical British silliness, and that’s perfectly fine. Much like the old games of Two Point Hospital and classic Theme Hospital and Theme Park, this release isn’t exactly fun, but it’s charming, light, and perfectly acceptable to people of all ages. It deftly avoids the real-world drama that predominates in a college environment. This is done by inventing comedic illnesses that patients suffer, similar to how Two Point Hospital avoided dealing with the various grotesques associated with accidents, emergencies, and debilitating illnesses.
Two Point Campus doesn’t intend to push the PS5’s graphical boundaries, but it really doesn’t have to. The art style fits the personality of the game, even if you think the character models look a bit ugly. The music is lighthearted, and campus radio plays in the background, with hosts often making puns and saucy remarks, some of which will put a smile on your face while you play. But not us. There’s no time for hijinks while you have money to make.
Conclusion
The lack of real stakes means Two Point Campus isn’t truly glamorous, but the easy-going, breezy atmosphere makes for a fun, laid-back build. This is the perfect management simulation for beginners and kids, or even fans of the genre who need a palette cleanser between more challenging titles. So it’s like playing with one hand while wearing pajamas. And we are perfectly fine with that.
