It's exactly what it looks like: Theme Hospital In Space. Patients come into your orbital hospital, you erect specialised rooms to treat the various absurd maladies they've acquired, it's a familiar cycle. What sets it apart from its obvious modern competitor in Two Point Hospital, aside from its spaceborne setting, is its higher focus on storytelling, with a delightfully funny rapport between a good number of characters of all races as you bounce from planet to planet. The voice acting is well-done, and there is plenty to hear in each mission. As for those missions, their settings can be remarkably varied, from patching up revellers at an over-enthusiastic music festival to healing an entire living planet that's been hit by a tanker spill. One memorable location is a hyperspace train station, forcing you to divide your operations between two opposite platforms to maximise available space on the cramped station. Certainly more variety to be found here than in Two Point. All in all, it's good fun. Maybe not particularly difficult, at least for me thus far, but I'd say it's enough to keep you engaged. Compared to Two Point, there is less emphasis placed on diagnosis, with only one scan being required before treatment, and rooms generally have a wider variety of diseases and injuries that they can treat, which can save a bit of space in the long run. One particular stand-out there is Projectile Medicine, which can do anything from heating up frozen patients to cooling down flaming patients or even just blasting foreign bodies off them with a shotgun, all with a nicely-animated rotary system for the different equipment. Room decoration has been expanded, with several distinct categories of items that must be placed to appeal to each race's particular tastes, rather than Two Point's unilateral room appeal system. 'Ordinary' bits and bobs, 'Curious' objects of the slightly gross variety, plants from across the galaxy, and art pieces are all required to keep everyone comfortable with their environment. However, mind that you do not clutter things up, as one race is rather large and requires open spaces to roam in. A challenge mode has been patched in to bump up the difficulty in every level, if you so wish.

It's Theme Hospital in space. Great gameplay and fun dialogues (kudos to voice actors!). Would buy again.

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.

Great vibes, characters, music and graphics. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive after a while though.
