History YMMV / SurgeonSimulator2013

* AcceptablePoliticalTargets: In the Donald Trump DLC, you can replace his heart with a stone or get rid of the transplant to be greeted with [[MoodDissonance an upbeat letter of apology]].

** The corridor[[note]]exclusive to Touch, [=PS4=] and A&E Anniversary DLC[[/note]], ambulance, and space remix for each surgery theme takes this UpToEleven.

* WeirdAlEffect: Few people know that this game is actually an AffectionateParody of the genuine surgery game ''Surgery Simulator 2011''.

** A Potentially Gamebreaking glitch can occour during the teeth ambulance surgery, with Bob's jaw and head glitching out randomly, With Hilarious yet Disturbing results. Shown here: https://youtu.be/2gBUGSofP7U?t=1m15s Along With Let's player "Ihascupquake" and her husband ALSO experiencing the Glitch, generating Confusion and some hilarity. as seen here: https://youtu.be/QdtznzFxAIs?t=6m6s Its hard not to Be disturbed By bob's neck and jaw freaking out heavily, but its also hard not to chuckle at how BAD it is!

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAWndTTzRm0 Brain Storm]], which plays in the brain transplant surgery. The guitar solo is what effectively takes the cake.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7QQQ0jCT1I The Tooth Hurts]] certainly counts.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rDG8ypobTs Unidentified Flying Organ]] (which plays in the [[spoiler: alien]] surgery), complete with the beginning of the music itself being [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong suspiciously similar]] to ''Series/TheXFiles''.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: This game has often been described as ''"[[{{VideoGame/QWOP}} QWOP]] gets a medical degree and becomes a surgeon."''

* GoodBadBugs: In [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Meet the Medic]], you can use the Pyro's axe on the Heavy's ribcage, which can break the bones without losing one pint of blood. Of course the only thing that'll be getting in your way is trying to swing it effectively and maneuvering around the [[FakeDifficulty controls]].

* GameBreaker: The experimental mode with the Razer Hydra controller gives you two hands and a lot more dexterity. If it actually worked for every level, the game would be a lot easier than it's supposed to be.

** "A Small Loan From My Father". You have to rack up a bill of $1 million on the Trump surgery and finish it. To explain how hard this is, you cam take the hatchet to Trump's face and only barely pass the threshold while killing him. Managing that bill while also saving him is next to impossible. So impossible, in fact, that the devs actually acknowledged as much and promised to rework it so the achievement wouldn't be luck-based, which resulted in it being only slightly less impossible to pull off.

** "Best Surgeon In The Universe". You must successfully complete all of the six secret operations [[spoiler:on an alien]]. The operations are chosen randomly, [[GuideDangIt you aren't informed which organ is which]], and as if that wasn't enough, one of the missions is bugged ([[GuideDangItrequires replacing a different organ than you are told]]) and another not only cannot be completed without [[InterfaceScrew electrocuting yourself]], but you also have to make sure that after you smash the container with the replacement organ, you can actually catch it before it floats away.

** A better example would be all of the kidney transplants. Not only is it difficult to remove all of the organs that are in your way without blood loss (especially since one of the spots where you can cut the large intestine is buried underneath the small intestine), but also removing the old kidneys is a pain (especially the left one; your best bet is to use a spoon to move it around), and placing the new ones in a way that triggers the win condition is easily the worst of all the problems. Oh, and you think that's bad enough in the normal mode? Try doing that in the ambulance and space ones...

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The line gets crossed when you accidentally get the drill stuck in the patient. It gets crossed again while you flail about trying to get it out as it whips around by its drill bit.

** "Nothing But Skull". As the description says, you have to throw the replacement brain into the patient's head to finish the brain transplant. What it DOESN'T tell you is that you have to throw it from a specific place (your hand all the way to the back) and in a specific manner (turning the hand up and letting go of the brain so that it flies upwards). This is a pain to accomplish even if you know how to do it, and it's literally the third least acquired achievement, and for a very good reason.

** "Best Surgeon In The World". Get perfect scores on all operations, which requires losing as little blood as possible and completing the operations in reasonably short time. Easy enough with heart surgery, but increasily difficult with subsequent surgeries. And good luck with ambulance/corridor/space mode.
