Most of the Co-Opticrew didn't partake in the first round of "surgery practice" - that is Surgeon Simulator. The original released a few years back and later added a co-op mode. The latest game in the series though seems to be built around co-op play, with four doctors and their wobbly arm set to perform surgery on a willing volunteer.

I have precisely zero surgical experience, but from what I've gathered through medical osmosis, it seems like an unbearably tense situation, and that's even for people with full control of their limbs.  Imagine, then, how much worse it must be when you have dubious sway over your own body and up to three friends laughing at how much you're screwing everything up.

We did a "Co-Op Roundup" earlier this week of all the new co-op games that were announced/revealed during this year's Game Awards, but one slipped past us. Bossa Studios has invited us back into the world of surgery simulation with Surgeon Simulator 2, and this time, it won't be just you putting on a surgical mask and sharpening your surgical hatchet. Based on the trailer and language in the press release, four player co-op (we're assuming online) will be supported in the game.
