Waterpark Simulator

Whether you take charge alone or build a waterpark with friends, the appeal is the shift between creative construction and day-to-day disorder. At $12.99 from Steam, you get a first-person simulator centered on custom slides and park duties; it makes most sense when that combination is exactly what you want to spend time doing. Released on July 31, 2026, Waterpark Simulator combines park management with solo and co-op play.

At first, I didn't think much of this, it looked a bit like streamer-bait. When playing it properly, I discovered a much better game than i thought it would. It has just the right amount of jank but also quite a bit of charm. Investing time in proper park design is rewarding. Only critique i had to give in terms of gameplay - please allow more employees to be hired, both early on and later.Show moreShow less

It's good fun but until they change this stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ "artwork" for the game and not have this stupid ♥♥♥♥-eating grin broccoli-haired dumbass in the art, I'm not recommending it. Commission someone to make the artwork, use an in-game screenshot, but the current art really just pisses me off to look at, and that's not even mentioning the AI aspect. I really hate looking at this stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ broccoli-haired dumb ♥♥♥♥.Show moreShow less

The AI "inspired" banner image for this game is absolutely disgusting, but the game is fire. It plays like a typical tycoon game, a lot of doing the same thing over and over. But bit by bit, you get a little faster, your park gets a little bigger, and its satisfying to watch it grow. If you like that kind of loop, this game does a great job at it.Show moreShow less

The game is decent if you like simulators. But it’s hard to recommend in its current state. 1. There is no customization for your player character. The only way to change your appearance is to click a mirror in the game that will randomize your appearance. In saying that, I stood there for a good 5 minutes rotating through each look and never got a woman character. I can only assume that currently there are only male appearances available. This isn’t a deal breaker but I just think its odd. 2. My biggest critique is the way trash is being handled. No matter how many trash cans I place (I have placed enough that it covers the entire park), NPCs just refuse to use them. I thought upgrading to the bigger trash bags or better trash cans would help but it did not. The trash cans are not even full, they are empty, literally not being used that’s why this is absolutely crazy. 3. Which leads to my next point, as we upgrade an item to its new tier, it should improve in usability, durability and cleanliness. In this game, upgraded items do not improve so even at good quality; your showers, pools, slides, they are still breaking and getting dirty often just like the first tier level. I can only assume that devs left it like this because this is the only way you get research exp > by fixing and cleaning things over and over again. The exp bar is 100 for each level (so far), which I feel is attainable but currently, its not fun doing so. I am constantly cleaning and fixing all items in the park all day and even at the end of the day that this waterpark simulator is becoming a cleaning simulator game. 4. Some of the upgrades in the research table should already be part of the game and not something we have to work to unlock i.e. increase inventory slot and the puddle outline improvement. 5. Once you’ve expanded the park, NPCs will not wander over to the stalls to get food or drinks if you place the stalls slightly off center to the right or left from where they’re hanging out, leaving them to complain that they’re hungry or thirsty and thus will leave a bad review on your park. This is an issue because it means we have to place multiple stalls all over the park and hire enough employees to run them, which is not viable currently because employees are not behaving correctly and are expensive. I barely make 1k a day and a decent employee is $350 ish. This doesn’t leave a lot to buy new items or upgrades to increase value to increase total revenue so that I can hire more. 6. Restocking the stalls is tiresome. You hold a decent amount in the cart to serve but it runs out quick because Riley wants a dog and then a lemonade and then another dog. And that’s just Riley. About 5 other NPCs will come back like Riley over and over again, which is great for money but the food and drink go by fast. I think the stalls should just not have a restock option because then it becomes a restock simulator (since we have to run over to the grocery store to buy it and run back to the store – and you can only buy as many as you can hold). I can see how this will become a big issue when you expand the park and need to replenish multiple stalls. If employees cannot be designated to go and buy the restock, and you have to do it then yes, this will game will turn into a cleaning + restock simulator. I really enjoy the waterpark theme with pools and slides but I wished the game mechanics worked better. Right now it doesn't feel fun to play, it feels like a chore. I've only sunk a few hours into the game and the day-to-day tasks is already starting to feel stale because its the same everyday: cleaning, fixing, restocking. I don't really get to enjoy the thrive of the park or anything else really. UPDATE: I wanted to put a couple more hours into the game to see if things got better as you progressed, and unfortunately, it did not. Basically, as you expand, you need more hired help to run the place to keep customers happy. But currently, employees are not working as intended and are not prioritizing tasks correctly. So its not worth having a bigger park because you can’t run it efficiently. Devs said they are working on fixing the employees in the next big update. But for now, I have reached a point where its physically exhausting to keep up with everything solo so I’ll be putting the game down for now. This is what I encountered at level 2 employees. Mind you, the cap on how many employees you can hire needs an overhaul as well. Because you are capped at 2/2 up until 3 stars, which is not nearly enough. So I hired one each day to test them out and this is what I found: -The cashier seems to be the only competent employee for me as of right now. He comes in early and checks customers in no problem. -The janitor/cleaner stood around all day and when he did clean, he was only cleaning the pool or showers/restroom. He rarely picks up trash or mops up spills. I think it needs to be reversed. Janitors should prioritize picking up trash and mopping up spills and then the pool and showers later. -The lifeguard. I don’t know what the point of the 1k lifeguard chair is when it doesn’t get used, instead the lifeguard walks around the park. You first think that’s actually better because then he’s not confined to just a certain area. Well, this is what it looked like in reality. A customer was drowning on the opposite side of the park and he walked at his level 2 pace (he did not run) to go to help. Well, of course since he was still just walking, by the time he got there, the customer was already 2 feet under. He did eventually save this person but it negatively affects your rating = earnings because you let the person drown. -The vendor, he was the only vendor guy available at the time and either glitched or was just so incredibly slow that the customers were walking away from the stall because he was not serving them in time? Also, why is the employee list randomized? Who you can hire changes every day and some days when I actually wanted a restocker, the restocker wasn’t on the list? -The restocker. Yes, there is an actual restocker employee who only restocks. But again, because of the game design, the restocker needs to wait until the stalls are empty then he will go to the grocery store to pick up said item and bring it back to put it in the stall. By that time, customers have already left and are angry that they did not get their food. What I’ve had to do is buy extra dogs and drinks and leave them piled at the stalls. It’s the only way I have found to be efficient. In saying this, I did see in the upgrade tree that you can eventually upgrade the restocker to “automatically” restock. Although, how automatic that is is unknown to me and will be because I refuse to grind this game anymore. Also, please look into why a random staff worker named Ellis, who I did not hire started showing up in my park. He pops up here and there in odd areas and just stands there like a creep. You cannot interact with him.Show moreShow less

The concept of the game is nice and since there not alot of aquapark game it is a nice edition to the long list of simulator games. But it just isn't it. Too much AI generated content, skill tree isn't logical, too grow your waterpark you have to unluck new things, but to unlock new things your waterpark has to grow, at some point you softlock your own progress because you didn't follow the tutorial correctly. In my case, to progress I need to build to jumping board, but I cant build it because i don't have enough money, I can't open the park to make more money due to not having a jumping board. The game wants you to follow their tasks and only their task, thinking for yourself doens't work in this game. And once you get the tasks done, in the correct order as they tell you to do, you'll be running around like a chicken without a head, there are too many things to do at the same time. You can only carry 3 tools at the time (you can unlock more inventory) so you drop the one tool to use a other tool, at some point your more running around getting different tools then playing the game.. You need to sell tickets then print flyers to give to new costumers running around town, sell hotdogs at a different stand, buy a trashbag(you can only buy one each time) clean up trash, grab a new tool, clean up water, grab a new tool, repair everything, sell more tickets, kick people out for not buying a ticket, clean up trash again. You have to do all this and at the same time stop the fatty from stealing all your hotdogs, hose down the stinkers and clean up after everyone. Placing trashcans doens't really do much, since the AI just litters next to the trashcan, but you cant pick up the trash without holding a trashbag. So you need 2 trashbags in your inventory, one for the trashcans and one for the loose trash on the ground, it just doesn't feel logical. One can argeu that atleast the game gives you enough to do, but it is simply to much of the good stuff. For someone with ADHD and wants to do everything perfect, this game will not allow it. I wish steam would allow to give a neutral review because this game doens't deserve a negative review, but at the same time I can't give it a positive review. This game needs some balancing and maybe lock certain customers untill you are a bit further in the game and you have some employees to take care of the basics so you can spend your time doing different things.Show moreShow less
