A really fine and fun game and spiritual successor of Theme Hospital, a game I loved back in the 90s!
It's about building and managing a number of hospitals with objectives to reach and features many "sicknesses" you have to treat. Of course the whole game is satire with weird illnesses and contraptions you use for treatment. It's your typical tycoon game with building, decoration, staff management and upgrades.
While I like the humor and the style, the game gets boring very quickly as there are 15 scenarios in the main campaign but almost all of them has the same objectives and the general gameplay loop gets very repetitive after you've unlocked everything halfway and some things are just really pointless (like the vaccination minigame). Making money and being profitable is also extremely easy once you mastered the basics, the only exception (and honestly the best part) is the state hospital which was the only real challenge I had.
The DLCs add some variety but not that much to warrant that much extra playtime.
