Doctor 911 Hospital Simulator
Available on: Android
Genre: Simulation
One of the more educational games on the list, Doctor 911 Hospital Simulator has you performing surgeries in a number of related settings. The minimal graphics allow you to really focus on what you’re looking for and what you have to do. It really lives up to the name of a simulator with patients looking more akin to test dummies than real humans offering a bit of a disconnect. Not only do you learn more about the body, but you learn more about the facilities and procedures that you would need to become familiar with in an actual emergency.
