    Grinding is generally seen as tedious and boring, with combat described as repetitive and difficult due to oversized hitboxes. However, some appreciate the story and world despite these frustrations, and there is a desire for easier options like a god-mode in challenging segments.

    • “Combat is utterly tedious.”
    • “Combat is kinda tedious.”
    • “The minigame and boss fight is horribly difficult and tedious, especially with how big the hitbox is. It's a shame because I love the story and world, but as it stands I'm just going to leave a cautionary review and hope they can implement a god-mode for the minigame.”
