Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator
Critic Reviews for Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator
Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator largely achieves what it sets out to do. I take issue with its means-and-methods, as it relies heavily on minigames for many of its paramedic tasks, but that doesn't make it a bad game – just a far less immersive one.
Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator offers a rather complete experience for those wishing to discover a little more about the profession. Accidents are varied, while the fictional city offers realistic environments. However, routine quickly sets in, despite the integration of large-scale events. The experience system requires you to complete a series of missions with no real objective behind them in order to access all the content. Not to mention the fact that, for the time being, technical problems prevent us from enjoying a fluid experience. It's hard to recommend the game in its current state. Nonetheless, I hope the developers come up with fixes and new content soon. Something they have already demonstrated on their previous production.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is an immersive experience that allows you to dive deep into the life of a paramedic and everything that comes with the job, including the good and the bad.
Though it has some graphical errors and mild inaccuracies, Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator provides an incredible simulation of Paramedic life, one that can be as stressful as it is satisfying to play.
The main issue with Ambulance Life is the amount of visual bugs/glitches. I’ve seen heads disappear during cut-scenes, hair be pulled across the screen. And full on buildings not loading in. These graphical glitches really need to be fixed. Gameplay wise, I haven’t had that many problems. I enjoy doing the treatments for patients and trying to figure things out, although I think I’m always messing up. But one thing that annoys me is heading to a scene and only being able to really help one patient. Yeah, you’re able to stop bleeding and do minor treatments. But when three people have the same injuries and you can only take one to finish the call, it seems pointless, especially for the Catastrophe Events. I had to treat 5 people, but since one was having a cardiac arrest, the other got ignored and the mission finished. All in all. Ambulance Life is okay, but I’d say try it yourself. This is why I’m giving it the Thumb Culture Silver Award.
Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator needs a lot of polishing work. The core gameplay loop is extremely addictive. Trying to master all the different procedures and figure out what instruments go where keeps you on your toes. It’s unfortunate that Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is missing so many of the final polishing touches, that take away from the meat and bones that makes it a great simulation game.
If I hadn't played “Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator” for a test, I would have left it behind after a short time - despite some bright spots. I like the idea of racing through San Pelicano in an ambulance and rescuing people. The depth of the game design with the different medical instruments for treatment is also good. But the boring gameplay, the lousy controls and the many bugs are too annoying. The game seems unfinished and could have done with more fine-tuning. I therefore can't recommend it in its current state.
