The story in "Pool Slide Story" is described as enjoyable but somewhat limited, with players noting that it feels more like a swimming pool management game than a traditional narrative-driven experience. While it offers a fun and relaxing gameplay loop, it lacks the creative freedom found in other Kairosoft titles, leading to a more micromanagement-focused approach. Overall, it provides a soothing experience, though some players prefer the storytelling and creativity of previous games like "Forest Camp Story."
“Overall, it's a fun game which I didn't ever feel bored playing, so I would give this a thumbs up.”
“If you're familiar with Kairosoft's other games, this one is most comparable to Zoo Park Story in how it plays.”
“Con - it's still optimized for mobile, so the controls aren't great and the usual complaint with Kairosoft games of constant game story pop-ups.”
“My previous Kairosoft game was Forest Camp Story, which I prefer just a little more because it leaves more room for creativity, and this Pool Slide Story requires the player to do a bit more regular micromanagement, so it's a little less 'relaxed' - but don't get me wrong, still totally soothing and very chill!”
