Two Point Campus

The nature of the gameplay is admittedly repetitious, and at its core, it's basically a room-building floorplan simulator with a pretty forgiving business management sim overlaid on top- which is exactly the type of gameplay I've been craving since the death of flash, but I'm sure isn't for everyone.

Two Point Campus keeps the unmistakable charm and humor of the Two Point franchise — quirky characters, British wit, and that mix of management and chaos that made Two Point Hospital so enjoyable.

I also really enjoy the blocky, bright, stylized cartoon look of the graphics, especially compared to the pretty realistic look most modern 3D sims opt for, and I imagine it's part of what makes the game so performance-friendly while running what feels like a pretty expansive real-time simulation.

If you're looking for the more challenging, exponentially progressing, detailed and mechanic-dense style of micromanaging you see in popular factory and colony-themed management sims like Factorio or Rimworld, you'll almost certainly be disappointed by the easy difficulty and relatively limited scope.

For Steam Deck users: Took some fiddling with the button layouts to get it to play comfortably on the Deck, but it's quite intuitive once you find the right template.

Overall, I'd say it runs well enough, only with a little bit of lag in the very late levels when your campus becomes huge.
