Say "No" To Micromanagement Hell
I am sorry, but I feel like I should bring a bucket of cold water to the review section, or else more people could follow in my footsteps, and buy a game they won't enjoy. Yes, the art is gorgeous, and the humour is there (some of the treatments your doctors propose are quite hilarious, and the game seems to keep the tone consistently). Sadly, this is all the praise I can give to Biing. First of all, the game is obnoxious. Stay on any screen for a minute or two, and you'll be bombarded by a cacophony of sounds, most of which you'll never figure out what they are supposed to be or why they are playing at that moment. This goes hand in hand with the UI, which isn't just unwieldy, but often doesn't give info where it should, and sometimes gives no info at all. Why when adjusting the numbers for your pricing, one of the values has to go up to raise your fees, but all the others must aim for the lower numbers to achieve the same effect? Is it a bug? Who knows! Good luck figuring it out. Why is there no good way to see expenditures and income in a single sheet? You'll switch back and forth between screens trying to accomplish incredibly basic tasks. The gameplay isn't any better. Why is the number of patients on a huge, random range (apparently german guides even suggest to save/reload if you don't get enough patients)? Why do we start with basically no money and no margins for errors (you'll have to spend almost all your money to set things up on the very first day, with no way to loan money or anything of the sorts, risking bankruptcy immediately). The worst thing, however, is that the game forces you to micromanage, so you'll have to wait in real time for doctors to start visiting (after YOU accept patients in the waiting room, and then call them to the doctor). Most of this is solved by clicking the icon which appear when something needs your attention, but at that point, why no automation? If micromanagement isn't your wet dream, avoid at all costs.
