Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that after completing the main content, the only remaining activities involve repetitive tasks for upgrades or achievements, lacking in variety and discovery.
“I've beaten all there is to offer beyond grinding mindlessly for more upgrades or getting the achievement to beat the game five times.”
“The remaining achievements aren't discovery or content-based, just grinding the same content I've already done.”
