There is satisfactory, but from the context I think you mean satisfying:

1. 'satisfactory'

You say that something is satisfactory when it is acceptable or fulfils a particular need or purpose.
"His doctor described his state of health as fairly satisfactory."
"It's not a satisfactory system."

2. 'satisfying'

You do not use satisfactory to describe something that gives you a feeling of pleasure and fulfilment. The word you use is satisfying.
"There's nothing more satisfying than doing the work you love."
"It's wonderful to have a satisfying hobby."
