Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game; some find it relaxing and suitable for exploration, while others consider it tedious and overly grindy, especially for those seeking combat or a more engaging narrative. The game's updates may address some issues, but those who dislike inventory management or bugs might want to wait before purchasing.
- “It's kinda tedious, way too much bloom at times and slightly clunky.”
- “The good part is I see that they do update the game as well so maybe it will get fixed, but until then this is my review. If you just want to buy a game to explore with the enemy function turned off and hardcore farming for lots of materials, then this is for you. If you love combat and hate a lot of bugs in the game, then you will get mad if you buy it.”
