On the totally opposite end of the difficulty spectrum, we have Two Point Hospital. While this could've easily just been a cynical, overly nostalgic spiritual successor to the legendary Theme Hospital, it's thankfully a charming, addictive and wildly entertaining business sim in its own right.

This is the perfect game to play in-between tougher and more "substantial" titles, or on a Sunday afternoon when you just want to relax with a breezily enjoyable, undemanding video game.

If that sounds like back-handed criticism it isn't, because while it stays true to the quirky - and yes, distinctly British - tone of Bullfrog's 1997 original, it also opens up to become a surprisingly complex and value-filled proposition.

Considering how sim games often lose their lustre after a few hours, Two Point Hospital impressively sustains itself by constantly one-upping itself with increasingly outlandish twists on the core gameplay.

Whether you loved the original or you're totally new to the series, this is a title that deserves your support.
