Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of certain games, noting that achievements do not contribute to "perfect games" profiles, rendering their efforts seemingly pointless. Additionally, some games, like Amaze Halloween, are criticized for becoming increasingly grindy as they progress, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
“Worst of all, despite being store-bought, the achievements don't count towards the 'perfect games' for your profile, so all your tedious efforts will virtually be for nothing, and the game developers won't do a thing about that.”
“Amaze Halloween is a puzzle game and part of the Amaze series that progressively gets harder, but to be honest, it becomes more grindy.”
