Two Point Museum’s Arty-Facts DLC reminded me why this is one of the best simulation games

Two Point Museum‘s Arty-Facts DLC, out now on PC and console, drops you into a run-down industrial port with $100,000, a third of a cubist triptych, and a painter who only knows how to paint one thing: love. (No, not like that. It’s still an E-rated game, after all.) Anyway, your job is turning these unusual beginnings into a five-star museum, which sounds a lot like every other major challenge in Two Point Museum. But this very much isn’t just more of the same. Where the Zooseum DLC (the game’s previous expansion) experiments with different ways to interact with exhibits, Arty-Facts occupies itself with the complexities of managing the artistic temperament, thinking deeply about your museum design — and using it to manipulate your guests into shelling out more cash.
