Our Expert Score

92/100

Hot Springs Story 2 is another masterpiece from Kairosoft, the kings of the 'pixel-art tycoon' genre. If you enjoyed the first game, this sequel adds a significant amount of depth without losing the cozy, addictive charm. You aren't just building baths; you're managing a complex resort ecosystem where the placement of a 'Beautician' next to a 'Cauldron Bath' can drastically change your popularity with specific demographics like supermodels or ninjas.

The addition of outdoor elements like footbaths and the ability to invest in the surrounding area (like building a ski slope or an amusement park) makes the world feel much larger. The game manages to be relaxing yet deeply strategic—you’ll find yourself obsessing over the perfect layout to trigger 'combos' for maximum profit. It’s one of the most content-rich Kairosoft titles to date, offering dozens of hours of play as you strive for that elusive 5-star rating. It’s the ultimate digital retreat.
