Evaluation

Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet The Medic is a free, standalone VR experience released on April 5, 2016, exclusively for the HTC Vive. The store description and short description both clearly frame this as a "taster" or "teaser" — a limited, self-contained experience built around a single Team Fortress 2-themed surgery scenario. The launch post from April 6, 2016 described it as "a taster of what's to come from Bossa Studios on VR," referring to future VR projects from the studio generally, not additional content planned for this specific title. A bug fix patch shipped on April 6, 2016 addressing minor issues discovered at launch. The developer's news activity on this game's store page is sparse — the only other posts are about a separate game (Surgeon Simulator: Anniversary Edition's Trump DLC from June 2016) and a Worlds Adrift Early Access launch from May 2018, neither of which relate to this title. There have been no announcements of additional content, no unreleased DLC, and no developer communications about future updates to this game since its launch week in April 2016. It shipped as a complete, single-scenario free experience and has received no further content development.

About this game

Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet the Medic – be the Medic and operate on the Heavy in this free exclusive for HTC Vive!

You’re leaning over a strangely familiar patient in dire need of a brand new heart, alongside an operating table full of terrifying implements you’d hoped never to have to pick up for yourself. What will you do? Which one will you reach for first? The bonesaw, or a sandvich…?

Now, you have the chance to get truly ‘hands-on’ and test your backstreet surgery skills in VR. Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet the Medic, allows you to step into the shoes of Team Fortress 2’s, The Medic, where only you can save The Heavy as his life ebbs away before your very eyes.

This brand-new virtual reality experience from Bossa Studios reunites two of TF2’s most-loved characters, who were originally brought to Surgeon Simulator back in 2013. Now, fresh into the VR stage, where you perform life-changing surgery under the gentle gaze of Archimedes, the dove from Valve’s hit game. Poke with a pencil, slash with a machete, chop with an axe, perform delicate tasks with a baseball bat; but be careful...time is ticking.
