![]() ![]() Between bits where we were actually removing rib cages or popping off limbs, there was a lot of puzzle-solving and exploration to do. So, unburdened by the pressure to be a games journalist with instantly transferable skills, myself, Gallardo, Pick, and our fourth physician Nick Marshall, Bossa PR, made our way through some early tutorial levels and other surgery challenges. "And then, our game is the complete other end of the scale, where just picking up a suitcase and holding it, that in itself is an accomplishment." What, your hospital doesn't have a way to fling loose limbs across the operating room? | Bossa Studios "In most first-person games you play an insanely competent person, and you can carry 50 guns around with you somehow, leap tall buildings, kill 1,000 dudes without even breaking a sweat," says Gallardo. ![]() Players control the actions of one arm stuck out in front of them, using a combination of keys to extend it, rotate at the joints, and ineptly grab tools and other physics props. ![]() First, though, we had some surgeries to do.Īlthough Surgeon Simulator 2 lets players walk, run, jump, and crouch with real first-person control this time, Bossa hasn't strayed too far from the blunder-inducing inputs it pioneered. Playing through a guided demo with Senior Producer Marc Pick and Senior Game Designer Nate Gallardo, I had the chance to ask about exactly what motivated a return to Bossa's breakout series seven years later, and to dissect why and how the studio is taking the sequel in such a different direction. That was hinted at before, but the full extent of Bossa's ambitions with Surgeon Sim 2 is clearer now: following in the co-op steps of titles like Portal 2 and aiming for the user creation freedoms of, say, a LittleBigPlanet, Surgeon Simulator 2 wants to let you and your friends flail around in whatever bizarre surgery-adjacent scenario you can dream up. Bossa Studios' sequel, announced at last year's Game Awards, is a multiplayer take on the madcap malpractice from Surgeon Simulator 2013. It dodged my earliest preconceptions as soon as I loaded it up and realized that WASD let me walk around a room. Surgeon Simulator 2 is not what I expected it to be.
