The mad geniuses at Two Point Studios are back at it again, and this time they’ve entrusted us with the management of a… museum! Forget illnesses and diplomas, and get ready to welcome giant plastic dinosaurs, cranky mummies and works of art, each stranger than the last. So, is this zany new management adventure worth the detour (and the ticket price)? We’ve dusted off our knowledge of history (and humor) to give you our verdict.
Collect, display and, above all, avoid vandalism!
If you’re familiar with Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, you’ll be back to the basics: meticulous yet accessible management, quirky humor and the satisfaction of seeing your establishment thrive (somehow!). In Two Point Museum, your mission is to acquire artifacts, build attractive exhibition rooms, hire qualified (and sometimes eccentric) staff and, above all, satisfy your visitors. New mechanics emerge, such as the search for lost artifacts, security management to prevent theft and damage, and the need to maintain public interest with varied and entertaining exhibits. Mind you, visitors’ tastes are sometimes… surprising (who said a giant fish skeleton was a major work of art?).
Still British and Absolutely Absurd
Two Point Studios’ DNA is still very much present, and the British dry sense of humor is still very much in evidence. The names of the artifacts (the “Prehistoric Slipper”), the reactions of the visitors, the personalities of the staff and the zany announcements of the radio announcer are all sources of smiles (and sometimes outright laughter). The general atmosphere is light and relaxed, perfect for unwinding while taking on sometimes… unexpected management challenges (ghost invasion in the Egyptian antiquities room, anyone?).
Centuries of History to Manage (or Almost)
With a variety of museums to unlock and develop, each with its own themes and challenges, Two Point Museum offers a substantial lifespan. Add to this the many artifacts to discover, optional objectives, sandbox challenges and the ability to customize your museum to your heart’s content, and you’ve got hours of collecting, organizing and avoiding chaos.
Colorful, Cartoonish and Historically Rich… Alternative
Two Point Museum’s visual style is as charming and full of personality as ever. Artifacts are depicted with a quirky sense of humor, characters are expressive and environments are full of fun little details. We enjoy observing the reactions of visitors to the various exhibits. The lively, thematic soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment to the game’s atmosphere. Sound effects and character voices add a welcome touch of absurdity.
A New Masterpiece for Fans of Crazy Management!
Two Point Museum brilliantly transposes the addictive formula of the series into a zany museum universe. The management is as engaging as ever, the humor hits the nail on the head and the new game mechanics bring a welcome freshness. If you’re looking for an original, fun management game with a good dose of (very) approximate historical absurdity, don’t hesitate to push open the doors of your first museum!
