The university version of Two Point Hospital arrived on 9 August for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One being released on the first day by Xbox Game Pass. Even though is a continuation of Two Point Hospital, a lot of similarities make us think of the infinite possibilities that Two Point has in its hands.

Using the same success formula that of the first one released in 2018, Two Point Campus has the same music styles, the speaker secretary, menu with a few modifications, design, and humor are important factors in these similarities.

The management of a university can be chaotic, even more, when it has non-traditional courses and students beyond misfits.



Test, tests, and more tests!

Without a tutorial, the game gives right away the first campus to manage. In total, Two Point Campus maps have 12 university campuses to be administrated. New courses and new difficulties are added to each new field.

I was surprised by the diversity of difficulties that can occur inside a university campus. Natural events, such as rain, can greatly disrupt the armor of the students of the Knight School, rusting their armor, you need to construct a Health Clinic, and then hire a trained first aid assistant. If you don’t have a specialist, the clinic didn’t work well letting the students hurt and unwell to study, so the Training Room is needed to give the employers the necessary abilities.

It also happens in Wizardry, a Witch throws lightning rain and meteors, leaving the students frightened and in need of a room of Support and Orientation. The same pattern goes all around the campus. This way, an event brings an improvement and one specialty.

At the beginning of the construction, all that you need to know is: that each step is dictated by the game, and each course has the needing for a specific professor and specific rooms to be built. I took my hair out right at the beginning of the game when I saw that I needed to borrow money from the bank because I’d made a very elaborate accommodation or I’d spent too much on decoration.

Yet on natural events on Two Point Campus, the heat and cold are also present on some maps, making us spend more with heaters and air conditioners or air humidity devices to control students and staff satisfaction.A great place is Sandbox, an area outside the main game where you can choose how you want to play, with difficulty levels that can be changed as you please, for the boldest players, or creative mode with all unlocked items.

The game goes this way, in this chaos between the management of its resources, which at first is not so big, and keeping an eye on students with low or dissatisfied grades. At each year the tests end and you can unlock more students or new courses inside the campus.

The goal is to achieve 3 campus stars, completing goals and requests made by staff and students in the messaging field. Satisfaction is guaranteed, and students are happy and approved. That’s the goal until a frog falls on your head!

Waking through campus

The game menus can be pretty complex, with tabs and more tabs open in students’ information, the courses, the grades, besides construction tabs and decoration items, and room items. This menu all made of tabs made the gameplay a little bit harder since several times I had a problem that needed to be solved and I had to pause the game to search in the tabs what was happening.



Courses such as Gastronomy, Robotics, Scientography, and Archaeology are a few examples of courses that exist in the game but don’t be fooled, none of them has the same seriousness as the real ones. A lot of jokes and funny creations came from these classes.

The game has subtitles in 11 idioms, and dubbing audio in English, German, and Mandarin. This makes me think a lot about how a joyful, fun, and sometimes a little childish game is not so childish. The indicative rating is 12 years old and the game doesn’t have accessibility features such as an audio description of subtitles or color for color blindness. Which is a negative point for the game.

In the customization part, several items are available at the beginning of the game, some can be custom in a range of 3 to 5 prints. The floor and walls also can be customized, but according to the colors and shapes defined by the game. The good news in this game, for those who played its predecessor, is the construction of the Campus Building, thus being able to scale the total area of the building where the rooms will be built.

At each building, you start to build your own spaces with classrooms in specific courses and common areas such as bathrooms, collective showers, health clinics, and leisure areas. Classrooms and auditoriums are built according to the demand of courses and students in the academic year.

One character of the game, that looks like a university rector, gives tips on the first steps so you can start to build classrooms and hire new staff. During the gameplay, you’ll learn how and when you need to take some action, either by building more accommodations, hiring new teachers of a new subject, or adding a new juice machine, a new device for the classroom, and other items that complete tasks.

Events like movie sections in the auditorium, parties, and championships were added as a way to satisfy students, increasing their entertainment and giving great captures of dances and messes of the students during these events.



At each task you successfully fill, money and Kudosh points enter into the bank account. The money is spent on everything that you build inside the campus, and Kudosh points are used to unlock special items of customization of your university and staff uniforms.

Two Point Radio on air!

Game sounds are the same as in Two Point Hospital. Clicks and Blups are heard every time that notification is activated. Plins of coins falls every time you receive a payment or pay a bill. But what draws attention are the narratives of the “speaker lady” that sometimes makes a joke about calling staff to a specific room.

Two Point radio is present with sarcastic announcers and songs of the same style as in Two Point Hospital. Some songs stuck in my head and I saw myself humming them several times during the gameplay.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t end the game until the end of this review to see the credits and congratulate the composer or Two Point team for the amazing and relaxing songs that give a peaceful tone while the science lab is on fire.

While I was grading tests...

Two Point Campus doesn’t bring any big news, it’s the same graphic of Two Point Hospital that many times remember us of a comic book or clay dolls. Items that even squares have rounded edges and tons of vibrant colors that come enchanted by neon lights, scattered throughout objects and party events on campus.

There are also fireworks and fires in the game, and lights that go on and off during movie sessions are graphic details added in this game that give a more “modern” aura to its title. Even with so many interactions happening, I didn’t see any graphic failure at any point, only a few little bugs like the one when I was adding a teacher and he crashed, walking to a wall, but with interaction, we can put him in the right direction and the game does the rest.



As for the gameplay, something that bothered me sometimes was the creation of classes and the arrangement of objects. To select an object and relocated or delete sometimes made me either select the entire room or delete some items I didn’t want to. With each object you select, it creates a white outline around it, but it was often not enough. Even so, this does not make the game unplayable and I believe that in the future these small bugs will be fixed.

Approved! End of the School Year!!!

Finally, at the end of this week of crazy adventures that I played on Two Point Campus I have to assure Two Point fans that this game is ready, even though sometimes maybe it seems like is missing something here and there, but it’s nothing that takes away our will to conquer all the long dreamed 3 stars.

To new players, you must have a good sense of humor, here I introduce an amazing experience of database management, in this university simulator that is on my list of most addicting and hard-to-leave-aside games.

The game has a great performance on goals and gives the player several hours of entertainment and good laughs. It’s really hard not to recommend Two Point Campus, both because of the fun and the challenge.

This review was created after my 16 hours of gameplay, it was played on Xbox Series S. I didn’t achieve all the map stars, but I’m certain, at the moment you are reading this review, I’ll be there, trying to achieve all of them.
