and ensuring they deliver a solid education.
But this leniency means it struggles to reward you for constructing a campus that’s uniquely yours.
How does the game judge a “solid education”?
Hit any star rating and you’ll unlock newer, zanier campuses to spruce up.
For those who aren’t well-versed inmanagement games, Two Point Campus is the perfect springboard into the genre.
More importantly, you understandhowit’s running.
Again, the game provides ample chances to amend with zero pressure.
Constructing your campus is a joy, helped along by what I’ll dub “building flow”.
Those with better traits come with greater salary demands, but financing is rarely an issue.
Bionicle Johnson is a Robotics teacher who gets jobs done quickly and has a profound urge to piss.
They are worth hiring for the names alone.
The game does a grand job of adding layers to your building flow.
You’ll learn that students get cold in chilly climates, so you pop radiators down.
Students need entertainment, so you pre-emptively craft a suitably miserable student’s union.
It’s really neat.
But it’s a challenge that’s largely dictated by how far you want to take the star rating.
Hoo boy, you’ll need to ensure that you’re hitting all the right notes.
But “hitting the right notes” is where the game starts to show some cracks.
But it might not be enough.
So, in desperation, you stick eight arcade machines against a wall and bam!
In fact, I don’t think I know a single name of one of my pupils.
If I fulfil their requests and tick off objectives, I know for a fact they’ll be happy.
In being so lenient and chill, the game is guilty of shooting itself in the foot.
It’s up to you whether you bother creating a beautiful campus that makes cohesive sense.
Where dorms and situated in a separate outhouse, with beds and nice windows.
Where corridors are bright and airy.
Love benches, love trumpets (?
Either one will satisfy the inspectors.
You’d be wise to enroll, I reckon.
