Galacticare Has Got That Old Bullfrog Spirit

Galacticare Has Got That Old Bullfrog Spirit - Aftermath

26 comments

I've been playing this on Gamepass and it's pretty good. Feels like Two Point Hospital with a couple QoL improvements.
- I found it to be way too similar to Two Point Hospital, but somehow less engaging. The overly silly theme just didn’t do it for me unfortunately.
Play Store link?
- Galacticare is out now on PC, Xbox and PS5.
  I don't think this is a mobile game
  
  No luck eh.
I got to the word "Bullfroglike" and stopped reading
- It's refering to a defunct games company: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bullfrog_Productions_games
  
  I'm very familiar with Bullfrog. Loved a lot of their games.
  I hate the trend of gaming journalists using "-like" to describe genres of games
- Why?
  
  I hate the meme of using "X-like" to refer to a genre
- No idea what that means, but I do know the devs of this game also made War for The Overworld and they did a fantastic job of making and maintaining it.
  I'd highly recommend their studio... and if this is the type of game you're interested in, you should definitely check it out!
  
  No hate towards Bullfrog or the game featured in the article. I just hate the meme of using "X-like" to describe a genre.
- But that's their thing, they made war for the overworld because they were huge fans of bullfrog's dungeon keeper and wanted a spiritual successor to it, now galacticare might be like bullfrog's theme hospital
