Hot Springs Story 2

another amazing title from kairosoft! the pixel style is so charming to me, and i loved the combination of decoration and management. there's so much to do, and you're definitely not going to get it done on your first playthrough in 10 years. it's definitely a bit long and grindy in in-game if you're achievement hunting, but i'm stubborn. i will definitely play this game again to unlock the rest of the bonus staff members- it has a lot of replay value, so i'd definitely recommend it if you're already thinking about getting it!

My favorite Kairosoft game! Soothing and cheerful~

underrated

love & own most of the Kairosoft games but gotta be honest, the original Hot Springs Story was one of the few rare exceptions that I could never warm up to enough to play for very long. since it was on sale I thankfully decided to give Part 2 a chance because its a huge upgrade and a lot of fun.

Wonderful game, looking forward to play more kairosoft games <3
