“Ah, now eventually you do plan to have surgery in your, in your surgery simulator, right? Hello?“

What a weird misstep.

This is probably against the spirit of the game, but I feel like this would be a lot better if "fighting the awkward controls" wasn't a core gameplay mechanic.

I did not like regular Surgeon Simulator at all, but really enjoyed Surgeon Simulator on PSVR because the control wackiness seemed to hit a nice balance of exaggerated movements vs. frustration and I got in a really good groove with it. I wonder if they might do the same with this one.

This looks... bad? Like.... I just don't get this expansion on the original's ideas (not that that game had a long shelf life at all).

This seems interesting but the manic multiplayer and story-focus seems incongruous. Plus, if they're going to add a Portal-esque facade-break then it should happen much later.

I like how Jan just goes with the flow amidst chaos and uncertainty.

Ben: Trying!

Abby: Who's Bryan?

Ben: ... wait Bryan? Who's Bryan?

Jan: ..... B-Ryyyyyyy

This seems somewhat intriguing but I got motion sick even before Abby mentioned it. Maybe the FoV is adjustable but something about the stuttering movement of the other characters and the awkward hand motions made it even worse.
