    • “The quirky humor and creative customization options keep the gameplay engaging and entertaining.”

  • story60 mentions

    • “Graphics are great, the story is great (so far), and the characters have as much character as the D&D movie (for those who haven't played before).”
    • “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.”
    • “Money management is the only real challenge in the story mode of the game, and this can be either oppressive or trivial based on your preferred playstyle.”
    • “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.”
  • stability29 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay, particularly in building placement and scenario execution. While some players have experienced minimal issues, the overall consensus is that the game remains frustratingly buggy even after two years since its release, detracting from the enjoyment and making it hard to recommend. Players suggest waiting for improvements or purchasing it at a discount if interested.

    • “No glitches anywhere that I have seen.”
    • “Aside from one or two small issues, the game is wonderfully bug-free.”
    • “Runs great on Linux.”
    • “It is buggy as heck for being two years old... the interface is nowhere as smooth as Two Point Hospital... trying to copy rooms makes me replace everything in the room for absolutely no reason. It is hard to get excited about playing when it has so many tedious bugs that make you redo trivial tasks.”
    • “I got the game on sale and I've gotten my money's worth in terms of playtime, but this game has been out for some time now and remains frustratingly buggy!”

  • grinding28 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and sometimes excessively repetitive, with many expressing frustration over micromanagement and the need to complete trivial tasks for progression. While some appreciate the familiar gameplay and chaotic visuals, others feel that the lack of quality-of-life features and bugs detract from the overall enjoyment, making the experience feel more like a chore than fun. Despite these criticisms, a few players still find the game engaging and addictive, suggesting that it may appeal to those who enjoy the genre.

    • “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 feels familiar and not tedious.”
    • “Really low standards of QoL features and it's so grindy and not fun.”
    • “I do feel like progression in TPC 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.”
  • optimization17 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed feedback. While many players report smooth performance, particularly on devices like the Steam Deck and M1 Macs, some experience notable performance drops as campus size and complexity increase.

    • “There are a lot of improvements over Two Point Hospital with smoother graphics performance and a more relaxed take on the gameplay.”
    • “Changing graphics settings didn’t have any impact at all; I even tried putting everything to minimum. It just seems that the more students and staff you’ve got, the performance will eventually decline.”
    • “Performance does drop a bit when your campus gets huge, but I suppose that's to be expected.”
    • “[Performance drops notably in busier situations]”

    • “Also not to mention it's only been two weeks and you're seeing people who have 100+ hours, so yeah, speaks to the replayability of this game (which it is a lot more than TPH).”
    • “Tp Hospital is inherently funnier, but the announcements in this game are great, and because you can change the courses on each map, it makes each map a bit different and more replayable.”
