Meeple Station vs Two Point Hospital
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
Two Point Hospital
Two Point Hospital is a hospital simulation game that is quite similar to the famous, age-old hospital sim, Theme Hospital. In this game, you play as the owner of a private hospital and is in charge of building it up and turning a profit. Similar to Theme Hospital, the illnesses in this game are all rather hilariously made-up. Although they won't exactly make you roll on the ground laughing your head off, some of them will definitely make you chuckle for quite a bit.Being a hospital sim, you'll need to set up rooms for your patients, doctors, and nurses; hire the most qualified (or affordable) person for the job; and treat as many patients as you can... since that's the only way you can make money. The game has plenty of decorations, most of which offer attractive bonuses, but they are usually locked behind a special, and rather limited currency, called Kudosh. You can only earn Kudosh by completing career achievements and limited-time missions, which are offered from time to time.
There are also plenty of levels for you to enjoy and you can still continue playing a hospital even if you've already reached a 3-star rating for it.
Published by Sega, Two Point Hospital aims to recreate the fun that goes with managing and improving a bustling hospital while giving you a bit of humor now and then with its hilarious "diseases" and "treatments". If you enjoy a good hospital sim, Two Point Hospital is definitely a game you'll want to buy!
