Developed by Bossa Studios and released on steam in 2013, Surgeon Simulator is a combination of a physics centric and simulation of sorts with controls that are intentionally floaty. As the name of the game suggests, you play as a surgeon performing different surgeries in different places and your main objective is to keep the patients alive. The main challenge comes from the blood loss, that acts as constant countdown (but there are ways to slow it down) but the different locations present other hurdles to overcome, like a constantly moving ambulance. The surgeries are taken in a comedic tone, and you can use all tools available, from traditional scalpels, bone saws, and even hammers in an effort to decrease blood loss and time spent in each surgery. There are many secrets and fun things to do, other than the surgeries, most are hinted by the achievements, that can act as a guide finding these special activities. Controlled using the keyboard and mouse, you can rebind the keys, but that won’t remove the floaty controls, which are intentionally made. The keyboard controls the opening and closing of fingers, while the mouse controls the hand movement, the left button the lowering of the hand and the right button the rotation of the hand. In a way this game is like a twisted claw machine, with organs and tools. Although this game doesn’t allow for online multiplayer, with a friend in the same room this game is an amazing experience. No bigger fun than laughing together from failed attempts blaming the controls, until those just start to make sense, and the surgery changes and the cycle starts over. Either way, alone or with a friend, this game has a lot to offer so I can easilly recommend it.

One of the first tuber games there ever was. Funny to kill the guy a few times, until you actually learn how to play, then it turns you into a speedrunner challenging yourself to complete each surgery as quickly and perfectly as possible. Lots of content and free DLC too. What a concept. Probably amazing in VR but I haven't tried it as of yet. Learned awhile back it also has.. console ports?.. How?

Dec. 2024

The joke of this game is precisely the awful controls, but when only the developer is the one laughing at the joke you're only left with frustration and regret of having paid for this game.

Nov. 2024

The controls feel like your performing open heart surgery.
