The reviews indicate that "grinding" in the game is perceived as tedious and repetitive, with players noting that the farming loop of planning, preparing, planting, and harvesting can feel monotonous. While the game offers a unique strategic management approach to farming, it lacks realism and depth in its farming mechanics, leading to a sense of frustration for those expecting a more authentic simulation experience. Overall, the grinding aspect is seen as a significant hurdle that detracts from the game's potential.
- “This game shows promise, but there's a long way to go before it becomes a sophisticated reflection of farming or management.”
- “Once you get into the standard farming loop of plan crop > prepare > plant > harvest, the game becomes a money printing simulator which is far from reality.”
- “However, it is really tedious.”
