It’s the brand of laughter that has made Cards Against Humanity a go-to party staple. As mentioned, it’s still an objectively terrible game if you’re talking about what’s required to perform the goals the game gives you.Īnd yet, through those terrible mechanics comes the uncontrollable laughter. Trial and error is the only way you get anywhere here, and the game is banking on the fact that the errors are funny enough to carry a couple sparse hours of playtime. You will fumble around for hours on end, trying to get the controls to cooperate just enough to break a man’s ribcage apart, like cracking open a gruesome crème brûlée, and without causing him to bleed to death. Not that the game tells you this while you control only a single, disembodied right hand with the manual dexterity of Jordan Belfort on Quaaludes. Potato Head on the inside, where organs can pop out and be tossed to the wayside at will if they’re in between you and your stated goal. Here, the human body is basically a fleshy Mr. It makes one expect things like logic and reason that have no place here. The game gives you a bare framework of controls, a cluttered desk to practice them in, and you’re off to the races to perform a heart transplant.īeing a fan of Trauma Center, a legitimately great series of games, puts the player at a disadvantage.
It’s so easy and tempting within the first few minutes of play to start praying to whatever god you hold dear that a teaser for a new Trauma Center is hidden beneath this mess, P.T.-style. Surgeon Simulator is predicated on a single joke: that the simulator is so incredibly shitty at simulating anything that performing even the most basic human functions involving a hand is a comedy of errors.
That’s still not to say it’s good, and it should definitely make everyone worry about what’s next.
Grant Surgeon Simulator this: At least it has a solid core of morbid humor that distracts one from the rest of the train wreck. Just like it was only a matter of time before new-millennium irony started to bleed over into games with the wave of “simulator” games on PC, it was only a matter of time before these cheap, wonky hot messes made their appearance on a console.
