Reviews indicate that the game's grinding mechanics are overly simplistic and repetitive, primarily involving resource collection on foot without much depth in crafting or exploration. Players express disappointment in the lack of engaging content, likening the experience to a walking simulator with little purpose or direction.
“This has been done a million times before. I tried to persist with it, but it's really a whole game that is based around grinding resources by foot. I was expecting more depth around crafting and traveling between planets, but there's nothing. It's basically a walking simulator with nothing else to do. I'm not even sure where this is going from here; what is the point of this game?”
