The grinding aspect of the game is enjoyable for fans of business management simulations, but those seeking a more interactive experience akin to farming simulations may find it lacking.
“It is a fun game if you're into purely business management games. If you're expecting something like a farming simulator and running your mining firm by jumping into vehicles and having your friend come and help, this isn't for you.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I found myself doing the same tasks over and over again just to progress, which quickly became boring.”
