Thumb Culture: 3 / 5

I did enjoy my time playing 112 Operator. It has a very solid foundation for a simulation game but isn’t one that you can turn off to. It’s the perfect addition to the PS Library of a simulator game fan but can be daunting to anyone that isn’t 100% sure of what they’re getting into. The game has also made many positive improvements from 911 operator. I am very excited to see what Jutsu Games plan on doing next!

God is a Geek: 9 / 10 by Mick Fraser

112 Operator may not look particularly exciting to an observer, but to put yourself in the hot-seat and actually play is exhilarating.

Digitally Downloaded: 2.5 / 5

112 Operator is ultimately a niche game let down by some bad design choices on the Switch. While the premise is interesting, the UI immersive and the gameplay compelling, the control options and confusing visuals on the Switch make it hard to stay focused. This is a game best played on a workstation with no distractions, and that’s about as far away from the Switch’s capabilities as one could imagine. If you’re the kind of player who can stomach the game’s flaws and dry moments, you’d still be better off to try it on another platform.

112 Operator is a continuation of the well-received game 911 Operator, both of which were developed by the independent Polish studio called Jutsu Games. Similarly to its predecessor, the game described herein combines elements of strategy and simulation, in which players assume the role of emergency number operators.

Mechanics

In the 112 Operator game, our task is to answer calls from people in need and help them by both giving advice as well as sending fire brigades, ambulances, and police to their location. Due to the fact that we have limited resources, we have to choose the right number of people and the right vehicle or machine for each event (the list of which includes fire engines, ambulances, and even helicopters).

Although there is no shortage of blood-chilling situations among the problems we have to deal with, there are sometimes funny telephones and even prank calls; the latter should be terminated, of course if we can recognise them in time. The game takes place on maps of real cities from all over the world, including Paris, London, Warsaw, and Moscow.

The authors also introduced a number of novelties in comparison to 911 Operator, the most prominent ones being over 50 new conversations with people in need of help. Apart from that, the gameplay is now influenced by changing weather and traffic conditions, as well as the daily-and night. The list of challenges ahead of us has also been extended.

Game modes

112 Operator revolves mainly around the career mode taking place in one of the European metropolises. In the course of the game, players face events and fictional missions, gradually building their position. Apart from that, there is a Free Play mode, where we can move to one of over a hundred thousand cities all over the world.
