Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, often requiring significant time investment without meaningful rewards, such as achievements not contributing to "perfect games." This has led to frustration, as many feel their efforts are ultimately futile.
“Grinding in this game feels rewarding and keeps me engaged for hours.”
“The grind is challenging but satisfying, making every achievement feel earned.”
“I love how the grinding mechanics are balanced; it never feels like a chore.”
