From GI.biz: "Before settling on the concept of a university simulation game, Two Point Studios had a few ideas.
The team, founded by the original creators of beloved 1997 PC game Theme Hospital, was enjoying phenomenal success with its debut title: Two Point Hospital. Even from the beginning, the founders Ben Hymers, Mark Webley and Gary Carr had a vision of creating a series of sim games set in the fictional world of Two Point County -- with several potential settings for the next one.
"[Parent company] Sega had a bigger preference for one of the others, Two Point Precinct," Webley recalls. "But we were so excited by the idea of Two Point Campus, because we kept coming up with new ideas."
Two Point Campus will be getting 100 percent spookier next week with the arrival of the “School Spirits” DLC on March 15. The package includes new courses, students, items and a new challenge mode.
Whether you've imagined running your own potion shop or cult, these are the sim games you've been looking for. Here are the nominees for Best Simulation Game 2022.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Part of the joy of video games is leaving the regular world behind for a while and playing make-believe. And no other genre allows that fantasy more thoroughly than simulation. In the year 2022, players had plenty of simulation fantasies from which to pick. They could scout talent, manage finances, and guide a Formula 1 team to glory in F1 Manager 2022. Or, they could start a power washing business from their garage in PowerWash Simulator and wash their troubles away with odd jobs around the town of Muckingham. Alternatively, they could take a ranger post in the charming seaside town of Rigbarth, grow crops, fight monsters, and get married in Rune Factory 5. They could even build the university of their dreams in Two Point Campus."
