It could not be more apparent that Galacticare is a love letter to Mucky Foot's Startopia from 2001, and for it to be successfully so is a delight and a triumph. In a modern world of muddy, focus-less mediocrity even at the AA level of game development, Galcticare manages to be a really very well-acquitted management sim, told through some excellent writing that is intelligent, earnest, economical, and deeply funny. The writing is elevated by what to me is the best voice acting I have heard in a video game ever, and that by a mile. Maybe some games from other studios give more conventionally emotional or cinematic performances because they're making that sort of game, but it's clear that everyone in a sound booth understood what this game wanted and acted their hearts out, fully fleshing out characters and moments without becoming unbelievable or overwrought. Secondary mechanics like the meta-progression of facility decorations, the illness encyclopedia, consultants, and cultural influence are all really nice touches that help tie the playthrough together. I am particularly impressed with the little narratives woven throughout the entries, interactions between Medi and Twiggy told through a conversation between HEAL and Medi, for example; delightful little stories that help build the connective tissue holding the whole experience together in a way that reminds me of a time when a game made it clear that it just wants to tell stories and share art. I'm grateful for experiences like this when they come along, and I hope there will be more like it in the future.

Excellent comedy hospital sim. You don't really beat games like this, made it all the way to chapter 5 before burn out but that's ok. Had a blast with my time with it. If I had one complaint is the heavy requirement to have everything decorated to the hilt every level or suffer severe mood penalties. For those who like that kinda thing, this is the game for you. But just for me personally, it doesn't matter what sim game, the "get your art level up to whatever" requirement is nails on a chalkboard. I'm running a hospital da** it, call a interior decorater and leave me alone.

Fun game over all. Sadly the insane level to which "decorations" affect your score is killing the fun for me. You spend about 10% of the game building rooms and 90% decorating every inch of your hospital. That said, the voice acting is great! It's definitely interesting and you can just jump in and play. it's the kind of game you play for an hour here and there.

If you know and love games like Startopia, Two Point Hospital etc you will almost certainly love this game. The design, storytelling, voice acting, and worldbuilding are all a major step above what has been in this genre before. It is great to look at, and you can ferret around and find all sorts of little jokes everywhere. The different alien species are thoroughly drawn with genuinely interesting background data. The downside for me- which makes the game good but not great- is that if you've ever played on of these games before Galaticare is incredibly easy. As far as I can tell, there is no way to actually lose money. This subsequently means that some chapters become a bit of a grind- rush 6 copies of a room, click the (slow) fast speed and wait. It is such a rich world to play in though I'm hopeful that some tweaks will introduce new challenges.

To date, this is the only company I've ever been able to find that's capable of capturing, and HAS captured, the sheer ~vibe~, genuinely funny humor, and outright charm of Bullfrog's games, like Evil Genius and Dungeon Keeper. While a lot of reviews love to just repeatedly go "it's Two Point Hospital... but SPACE!!!", I cannot stress enough that it's not just some other game with a new coat of paint. This is what an indie that's made with a genuine attempt at humor that can reach just about anyone who plays it is like. This is what it's like when a game cares about you enjoying yourself, when the developers' "vision" isn't to force you to deal with a tidal wave of inconveniences and annoying game design decisions masquerading as "challenge" - their vision is, instead, to just let you have a good time, in a silly sci-fi universe with genuinely creative races. The races have actual lore, and they've given me worldbuilding inspiration as a result of the genuine care that went into making them! Atop that, the humor doesn't feel hamfisted or forced - it feels rather modern, and that's something I adore both it and their previous game War for the Overworld, for accomplishing. If you've ever thought "man, I wish games with the levity and just genuinely fun atmosphere of games like Evil Genius and Dungeon Keeper were still being made today", look no further than this company. Their behavior on their forums is immaculate, they take feedback well, and they respond as much as they can to as many people as they can. These developers proved they both incorporate feedback into, and just generally polish their games YEARS after release. They have earned my loyalty with how they cared for, and still ARE caring for, War for the Overworld. SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT GIVING YOU BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WHO POUR THEIR HEART INTO CAPTURING A VIBE THAT ANY CAN ENJOY! SUPPORT DEVELOPERS WHO -CARE!-
