    42 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mix of fun and tedium, particularly as they progress to higher levels where inventory management and restocking become increasingly laborious.

    • “The whole idea is great, but what I don't like is that after ending the day, the game freezes for a very long time and often crashes, forcing me to close it. I hope this gets addressed.”
