  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players enjoy the grind, especially in full loot zones for farming, others find it excessive, suggesting that significant time investment is required, particularly around level 60. However, the game also offers diverse progression methods, allowing players to engage in various activities beyond traditional grinding.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Full loot zones aren't that bad if you're farming frozen chests for throwaway weapons, but you really need to be around level 60 before you can focus on that.”
    • “If you are into grinding, you will love this.”

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as appearing to be a cash grab, particularly due to its lack of support for Steam VR and non-Oculus headsets, which limits accessibility for a broader audience.
