The game's story is characterized by engaging, humorous elements that accompany various missions across unique campuses, each presenting its own challenges and scenarios. While some players appreciate the light narrative and the freedom to manage their campuses creatively, others find the story repetitive and the missions overly simplistic, often requiring tedious waiting periods to achieve goals. Overall, the narrative serves as a backdrop for gameplay, providing context but lacking depth and complexity.
- “I find the storylines engaging.”
- “The storyline, even though it relies on clichés, gets the job done building up the context for each campus while keeping the humor on another level.”
- “If you play the story mode, each campus builds in difficulty so it is not overwhelming and yet gives you the freedom to be creative with your arrangements to keep your students and faculty happy and earning XP.”
- “Every course sounds like something that wouldn't be out of place in a university advertisement, and every plot twist is nonsensical yet completely consistent with the rest of the plot.”
- “However, after finishing half the missions, it feels pretty much the same; also, all the different needs of the students become tedious over time, especially relationships and clubs, which are the same four buildings you just spam all over the campus, and sometimes it's still not enough.”
- “Here, you get told how to do everything through quests, and you just have to follow the game, sit tight, and watch the world's most boring movie.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often leading to frustration with its gameplay loop and micromanagement requirements. Many reviews highlight the lack of engaging content and the need to repeatedly complete similar tasks, which detracts from the enjoyment. While some players appreciate the charm and humor reminiscent of its predecessor, "Two Point Hospital," they still note that the grind can feel excessive and detracts from the overall experience.
- “Oddly addicting and fun, with goofy and chaotic visuals and endless opportunities to either make or break a campus (in the best way for us sadists!). The overall gameplay format is similar, but in a way that it's familiar and not tedious.”
- “Pretty much a repeat of other players' reviews: boring game loop that you quickly regret starting a new map, limited interaction that often has you watching the game play itself with tedious challenges.”
- “I do feel like progression in this game can be quite tedious, and sometimes you end up getting stuck on the level-up between two-star campus and three-star campus; a vicious cycle of waiting for the average grade-level or needs-level to hit a certain threshold until half of your campus graduates and you're back at square one again.”
- “With the lack of workshop mod support, custom radio (as far as I could see), and the sheer tediousness involved in doing the same thing over and over again, I cannot recommend this unless you're very bored and have nothing better to do with your time or money.”
