Players note that while most items are easily obtainable, certain rewards require significant grinding, which feels unnecessary since most content is already unlocked by the game's end. This lack of incentive diminishes the appeal of grinding for those few remaining items.
“Though most are easily obtained, some require serious grinding, but I don't see any incentive to put that much effort into getting them as you have pretty much everything unlocked by the time you finish the game.”
“The grinding feels tedious and unrewarding, making it hard to stay motivated to continue playing.”
“I found the grinding to be excessively repetitive, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
