It's so much fun! I've accidentally killed a few of my employees by sending them on dangerous expeditions but I'm making a lot of money so it's all good and I'm sure their families will understand.

How about lets not have political quips in a Two Point game. Nevermind that they're obviously uninformed, lets just not have them at all, ok?

Tis alright Visitors keep complaining about nonexistent issues like needing to go to the toilet when there's plenty of cubicles available. But anyway, it's alright. Is game. Is good enough. I've played for quite a while now and there's nothing blatantly wrong with the game. I just think the NPCs don't always walk where they should. You can direct the flow of people (if you're into that) but even so I find people can just stand still and complain about an issue that doesn't actually exist. That sounds like a big issue but in the grand scheme of things, everything works - most people are normal functioning individuals but there's always a few idiots. There is an exhibit that has the trait "Boring". It still provides buzz despite being boring. I think that's a bit contradictory and funny. People still take photos of it and act excited even though it's supposedly boring. Behold the skeleton that is so boring, it causes you to get confused and find it fascinating. I find that funny. One thing I find annoying is the game constantly reminding me that I can give perks to random inanimate objects. SHUT THE FUCK UP! I don't have a perk I like available yet! There should be an option to stop perk notifications. The game really wants me to give the bandage box another perk. After reaching a certain museum level, the game starts to remind me of what happens every time I open a door in Project Zomboid.

A game coming from a bunch of creeps, you can literally have kids wearing a pedo shirt, I don't say this lightly, using a game to indoctrinate kids because they damn well know kids are gonna play this game. And the usual... according to Two Point Studios, apparently 80% of the population is black, so add racism on top of that, out of 20 employees 17 were black, now we know why there's a "hiring fee", it's not a coincidence at this point. It's a chill game but i'd rather go play Planet Zoo or Coaster and not having the "message" in my face.

Fun game up until the Thieves are unlocked. The thievery mechanic needs to be completely overhauled, because it ends up pulling focus away from all other game aspects. Unless you like having hours of your real time literally stolen by this poorly-designed "feature"...

If you have played GTA, you will find that this game is nothing like it.

Game is mislabeled. It should be called Two Point Time Machine. I started it up intending to play for a few minutes. Next thing I knew, seven hours had passed.

day 1: build museum...... day 2: build museum..... day 3: build museum..... day 4: build museum.... day 5: build museum.... day 6: Jesus Christ, I can't play this game all day without doing anything~!!! Gotta do some work tomorrow~!! day 7: build museum.....

This game came highly recommended by friends who like cozy games, sims, and collectors and at first, I could see why. I poured hours into my first few museums, figuring out how to make things look aesthetically pleasing while meeting decoration requirements and grinding for perfect pieces to display. The progression felt great, consistently growing, unlocking new mechanics and areas... Then, after I was thoroughly invested and well past refund, something happened. Suddenly none of my staff worked properly. They'd pace back and forth letting their meters deplete and jobs go undone until they quit of frustration. The dev has apparently been working on this for a couple versions so I decided to be patient, slow down my gamespeed, and carefully micromanage a couple dozen employees who couldn't figure out how to use the bathrooms or feed themselves. And I was pretty committed to it too... until theives were introduced. Honestly had I known about them I'd have been more reluctant to buy in the first place, but seeing the implementation basically ended any interest in campaign mode for me. Suddenly, in these buildings you've carefully been laying out and decorating for hours you need to lay out elaborate security systems. Cameras to deter an unrealistically high influx of theives all throughout what was your attractive exhibits and decorations where wallspace was already at a premium. Not too many cameras though, because guests also don't like them! Not just cameras either, you need security rooms, chairs to manually set the guards who will need to be escorted to the bathroom in, robot guards even! It's completely antithetical to all the rest of the gameplay before it and I'm not alone in this opinion. Check the game discussion and you'll see months of people who were enjoying the game until hitting this mechanic well into gameplay, and the dev repeatedly ignoring their requests to make it less intensive, instead offering to maybe eventually fix the broken npc behaviors that often make it even more infuriating to work with what we're apparently stuck with. The sandbox mode lets you toggle all of this off, which is nice if you just want to mess around and build whatever... if you wanted the progression and satisfaction of starring all the campaign buildings and the otherwise satisfying progressiom though? Can't advise, just play open rct2 or something.

Unplayable-- keeps crashing. Has potential to be super fun and I've enjoyed other games in the franchise, but unfortunately I can't play for more than 5 minutes without the spinning wheel of death.

My first impression was: DLC on launch day??? What??? But I gave it a try and didn't like it. I don't understand how this game can have so many positive reviews. I liked two point hospital (reminds me of theme hospital), I liked two point campus too. But this one is going to be a refund. It doesn't have anything special. Looks more like a decorating game where it doesn't matter how you manage the museum, it's going to work.

Overwhelmingly positive. They did it again, not only did they do it again but they did it with multi coloured doughnuts smothered in cheese. They clearly eat Weetabix in the morning and I know because I have a secret security camera watching their cafeteria. I've only seen a couple of bugs, one of the bugs was actually on my TV screen walking across and the other was people getting stuck which is rare. The performance of the game is so much better than mine in the game dammit thankfully it guides you every step of the way. Is it too complicated? It's absolutely easier than cooking carbonara in a kettle not that I've tried, just saying. It's a masterpiece just like the others they have done. If everyone was overwhelmingly positive about a tin of baked beans then wouldn't you be interested in the tin of baked beans, I like tins, I like beans and I like being baked. I'm off to the toilet now.

I wanted a simple and fun game, where I got to built museums. But it just kept on adding different elements one on top of another and it just got less and less fun for me. Micromanaging wages and prices I could deal with, but adding silly rooms to create single use items, having to discover items multiple times, and having to deal with multiple expert types and perks, adding to wages again and- no. That was not what I wanted. I have not played anything else in the Two Point series, but I just wanted something silly and fun, this was not it.

I've requested a refund, the game lacks depth and is just an on-rails simulator you can't lose at or has any stakes. This is an extremely casual management/builder sim that provides little to no challenge. Perhaps later on it will include that rather then being a farmville-esque beauty builder. If you want a simple, colourful, no stake and low effort game then this is the thing for you.

This is not just the best Two Point game so far, but one of the best management games I have ever played. In the 50 hours it took for me to 5 star all of the museums (and achieve gold on the four smaller pop-up museums), I did not once feel like the gameplay was repetitive or dull, which is something that the structure of previous Two Point games inevitably led to at times. Coming into this, I was worried that only having five museums to play through was going to make the game feel a bit too short, but the amount of themed content they managed to pack into each one of them made the museums feel far more memorable than any hospital or campus ever was. I GREATLY prefer the new structure as opposed to the older games and think it was a brilliant move that meshed flawlessly with the concept this time. I think the craziest part of all though is that even after essentially "completing" the career mode, there's still a ton left for me to unlock and a bunch of incentive to keep playing the game, something previous Two Point games lacked as well. Finding exhibits and laying out the plan for your museum is extremely satisfying. The amount of diversity between animations and models keeps the game entertaining. And the sandbox potential is utterly absurd. THAT SAID, there are some aspects of the game that do feel like mild steps backward or, at the very least, in a direction I think could have gone a little better. And I've decided to bullet point these as it'll better help me hone in on the few flaws I was able to find. - The soundtrack, while technically fine, doesn't really measure up to the other games. In Hospital and Campus, I found myself humming along to the music more often than not. And maybe it's just because Museum is a lot more active in terms of gameplay, but I never got that from this game and didn't find any of the tracks all that memorable. - Similarly, while the major radio personalities and DJs make a return, I felt like the writing for them wasn't as strong or absurd as it normally is, and I would have liked to hear a lot more from them as they were my favorite parts of the other games. - The dopamine rush after achieving a new star doesn't really hit as hard as it used to. I've always loved the little passive aggressive quips from Tarquin Foxbridge after ranking up and, while they still technically exist, they feel like a bit of an afterthought now and are usually only a short sentence or two. - Leveling up is VERY slow and there isn't really a way around it. If that's how the devs want it to be, that's fine. I just find it strange and potentially unintentional that I was able to fully complete the entire career mode without ever having an employee make it past level 15 (and even then, only one of my employees ever touched that landmark). - The game does begin to struggle a little in terms of FPS once museums start to get very large. I have a decently solid PC and struggle to maintain 30fps in my 7 star museum with around 400 guests inside. I imagine this might be better optimized in future patches as Two Point has been very receptive to community feedback and extremely prompt with bug fixes so far. All things considered, as a GAME, Two Point Museum is hands down the best thing Two Point Studio has put out so far. It's satisfying, immersive, and the pacing of career progression itself is fantastic. My only wish is that it leaned further into the personality and quirkiness of the previous games' narrative content as Museum does feel like a slightly more muted take on them. And I know can't speak for everyone, but the world and characters of the Two Point series are a MASSIVE factor in terms of why I love this franchise so much. I'd just hate to see them not get the love I believe they deserve.

The game is fine compared to their previous titles, however Two Point Studios are still practising sketchy behaviour by releasing DLC on the same day as the release of the actual title. Like what? For that reason I won't recommend the game.

DAY1 DLC. Forced online for a singleplayer game. Can't play on handheld on trips. Forced Arbitration clause. 270/1100 present reviews are non-steam purchases. Totally organic reviews /s What do you think happens when companies exploit past goodwill, shaft consumers for quick money and deliver poor quality products? Consumers conclude never to do business with them again and write spite reviews like this. I will refund this purchase after I'm done with review. I at least I hoped things would improve and I won't have to refund but on quick glance this has practically the same problems as TPC like ugly matte UI from TPC and game has unoptimized performance and liliput feel like TPC. TPH and theme hospital remains the only good games in the franchise. 2K and Firaxis needs to learn buying PR influencers for Civ7 like Sega has done for TPM launch. This engine is now an assembly line to manufacture slop every 2-3years. Game development has stopped for TPC in 2years for good, tp encourage buying TPMuseum. Full TPCampus ended with 1/4th worth of content of that of TPHospital. Unacceptable as costs are same as TPH. TPM will likely be the same. I could be wrong but singer behind Jasmine Odyssey is still shafted and her voice reused, as I did not come across any songs new bits from her while playing. Meanwhile the annoying and unfunny lady radio host introduced in TPC is back and still just monotonous and boring as ever. Anyhow, below are excerpts from my TPC review, which incidentally looks applicable here too. But my point is to explain why I am not supporting this franchise: The bgm is even more generic now like some mobile mtx game. What a waste of money TPC was for me. Should have expected it from a typical Japanese company SEGA publisher adept at fleecing people. On top of that Denuvo crap making me fall for this scam of a game TPC has ensured I will never play another Two Point game again. With Denuvo you simply can't play offline when on trips or travelling. IT still TANKS performance no matter what access media wants to make you believe. I have both Steamdeck and ROG Ally. Guess which one has better performance here. More powerful Ally? Nah, it's the Linux Steamdeck with no Denuvvo. Someone with either handheld can probably dual boot Windows/Bazzite and see the significant performance difference themselves. TPC was massive downgrade from Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital. The "soul" from the humor was missing. It was just frustratingly boring. The artstyle and color choices are visibly jarring and old looking with a weird matte and velvet texture everywhere. Has a weird Mexican sweaty sepia tinge everywhere. The newly introduced radio host voiceactress is deeply unfunny going over and over on baguettes. I had to mute and play afterwards. While Jasmine Odyssey's real singer(Sophia?) is shafted and her lines reused from TPH. The gameplay wasn't at all fun. All the rooms were huge compared to TPH for some reason and so I have to zoom out, at which point the characters looked like little tardigrades crawling around. WORST OF ALL, when you were economically stable you had to do nothing but watch things go like 2000s god game crapwares from Peter Moleyneux. The game was terribly annoying to turn a profit early game with obfuscated mechanics(law of 8). Even after hours of play I don't get when a student does assignments and when not. TPH was far sensible you diagnose GP loop around then treatment. Because of the huge rooms, you were kinda always forced to expand and uglify the map. The gfx engine was horribly optimized vs hospital as well. The switch version I heard was unplayable from day1 and even for steam versions bugs got rarely fixed by devs if at all. And all these low quality effort was hidden behind thanks to Denuvvo, you know why, hiding bad development and ensuring game can't be refunded by the time one realizes.. This is coming from someone who loved TPH to bits enough to buy it with pocket money, after playing all maps, out of support, and never touched it again(it's not bad but not a fan of replaying games without variance). Niche games shouldn't alienate their niche faithful base with cashgrabs and low effort. I thoroughly regretted buying TPC even at sale with the repetitive DLCs. I will probably buy TPM again when on sale since TPC has been only one failure yet in my eyes. But if TPM also follows TPC then I will abandon the series for good. Now Steam doesn't even allow me to post review if denuvvo is spelled correctly more than three times, wow Gabe

I’ve heard and read good things about Two Point Museum. While I skipped Campus, I absolutely loved Hospital. And while I don’t blame them for copying Bullfrog’s homework, it seems that Two Point chooses to go in a different direction with their games than Bullfrog did. It’s not one that I enjoy. Hospital was all about managing queues, optimizing the patient journey, and balancing the budget. It had depth, required real strategy, and rewarded good planning. Museum, on the other hand, drops most of that and focuses on decoration and grindy objectives. And that’s where the disappointment kicks in. The game has everything it needs to be great: polished visuals, fun animations, and a solid theme. But it’s so easy that it becomes boring. With no real challenge or tension, all you do is watch and wait for things to happen. It’s not a bad game, but it feels like a different kind of game entirely. If you're looking for the strategic management experience that made Hospital so satisfying, Museum probably won’t scratch that itch.

The game is fun if you like management type of games where you basically just sit and watch a screen, which there is a lot of that. To get more things in your museum you have to send out expedition crews to get things to bring things back. Expedition locations only consist of 2 - 4 things that they can find and bring back from that location. They work as a random loot box. It's not that bad since you can keep going back to get a pristine artifact or a little bit into the game you can analyze them for knowledge points. There have been a few issues I have came across. The most recent one that happened that I can remember is that I could not go on an expedition because it said I needed a 1 expert with level 1 in survival skills. I had multiple with it. I Issue was fixed with a save and quit. Seems to fix any issues that I come across. Issues that I can think of at the moment that a save and quit has not fixed: -The security chair is useless. Guard's will just get u p and walk off and never return. They will chase a thief, catch them then never return. I noticed during the challenge you unlock with the chair and only noticed when everything was getting stolen. -The camera room is pointless as well. A thief will walk right through the zone to steal something and then right back through it again and no guards will react from the camera room or outside of it. -Issues with the inspector that comes. I get dinged for to much trash, there wont be a single piece of trash anywhere. Also have seen "not enough trash cans" as well. So I out more down and a guest could sneeze and hit one. Next inspection "not enough trash cans"..... -I am drawing a blank on more and will edit them in when I remember/issues happen again. The game loop so far is just been get a star at this museum then go get 1 here then get 2 at the 1st one now go get 2 at another and so on. Personally, I would rather just finish 1 then move on to the next. It's fun in short "bursts" I guess. I am starting to lose interest a little, but will probably get back into it more at some point. This is one of them games where we need more than a positive or negative. I don't think it needs a negative but does't warrant a positive do to a bunch of issues. It automatically goes negative if to many things are wrong with the game or a game mechanic doesn't work properly. In this case the security issues. Fix that and I will change rating.

English + Deutsch I was so looking forward to the game, especially when I saw pre-release gameplay videos. Everything looked so great and so I never thought I would write a negative review but I am so very disappointed. For me personally, it's just permanent stress, frustration without end and light years away from fun. -- There are always what feels like 100 tasks before you finally get a star. -- There is no UNDO button to undo the last steps step by step. -- The demolition tool (bomb icon) where the museum gets deleted and all exhibits are sent in the inventory, only appears in the 2nd museum. But my very first attempt was a disaster and there was no way to start from the beginning without losing everything. So I had to start from scratch via the main menu and the yellow button (Load Game). The bomb tool should be available already from the very beginning and not that late. -- I have to click on every single exhibit every minute and send an expert to restore it, as well as to water the botanical plants. It hardly ever happens that they do this on their own, if at all. And that alone drives me crazy. -- You have to go on an infinite number of expeditions to gradually improve the quality at a snail's pace, step by step. It takes a correspondingly long time to find better exhibits. -- The game is more like a puzzle game because you have to search for certain things all the time. But if I want to guess or search things in this direction, I buy the corresponding games but not one that is actually a building game. -- A lot of things are unclear and not everything is explained which also leads to a lot of frustration if you don't know how and where and waste a lot of time in the process. So for all these reasons, I don't know how much longer I want to put up with all this or whether I might like it even better at some point. So unfortunately this is a negative review. Ich hatte mich so auf das Spiel gefreut, vor allem, als ich Gameplay-Videos vor dem Release sah. Alles sah so toll aus und so hätte ich nie gedacht, dass ich eine negative Bewertung schreiben würde, aber ich bin sehr enttäuscht. Für mich persönlich ist es ein einziger Dauerstress, Frustration ohne Ende und Lichtjahre von Spaß entfernt. -- Es sind immer gefühlte 100 Aufgaben, bis man endlich mal einen Stern bekommt. -- Es gibt keinen Button, um einzelne Schritte rückgängig zu machen. -- Der Button (Bomben-Icon), um das ganze Museum neu zu starten, aber dass alle Exponate ins Inventar verschoben werden, erscheint erst im 2. Museum. Aber mein 1. Versuch war eine Katastrophe, wo ich nur noch im Minus war und so musste ich über das Hauptmenü und den dortigen gelben Button komplett neu anfangen, wo aber alle Exponate auch weg waren. Dieses Bomben-Icon sollte deshalb auf jeden Fall schon von Anfang an vorhanden sein und nicht erst so spät. -- Ich muss im Minutentakt immer wieder jedes einzelne Exponat anklicken und einen Experten zum Restaurieren hinschicken, ebenso zu den Botanikpflanzen zum Gießen. Es passiert so gut wie nie, dass die das von alleine machen. Und schon allein das macht mich ganz irre. -- Man muss unendlich viele Expeditionen machen, um die Qualität im Schneckentempo gaaaanz allmählich zu verbessern, Stufe für Stufe. Dementsprechend lange braucht es, bis man bessere Exponate findet. -- Das Spiel ist mehr wie ein Puzzlespiel, weil man bestimmte Dinge erst suchen muss. Aber wenn ich in dieser Richtung herumraten oder suchen will, kauf ich mir die entsprechenden Spiele dazu, aber nicht eins, was eigentlich ein Aufbauspiel ist. -- Es ist vieles unklar und nicht alles wird erklärt, was ebenfalls zu einer Menge Frust führt, wenn man nicht weiß, wie und wo und dabei viel Zeit verplempert. Aus all diesen Gründen weiß ich nicht, wie lange ich mir das alles noch antun will oder ob es mir irgendwann vielleicht doch noch besser gefällt. Somit ist dies leider eine negative Bewertung.

Honestly it was less fun than I had hoped and is in my opinion a reskin of the first 2 games. I requested a refund.

Game is fun, but it somehow has worse optimization than MHWilds. It's using up 40% of both my CPU and GPU just to keep it running on just HIGH graphics. Crashes sometimes when i alt-tab (I alt-tab a lot in building games). EDIT: After longer hours of play, even on medium settings, still crashes after 2 hours of playing. I'm thinking it has bad memory leaks.

Worth the $40 if your into 2point games. This is an improvement on Hospital and runs great. It's shocking to have a completed game that runs well on release day in 2025.

Early impressions is that this will very likely become my favorite Two Point game. I wasn't sure what to expect from the Museum theme, but the expeditions, the theming bonuses, the building of layouts, the general management, etc - everything here seems pretty good and overall a step up from their previous games for me. Also, Nigel, Harrison Wolff and the PA lady are all back.

Oh wait this is a new game, so I'm supposed to give it a negative review right?
