Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some appreciate the removal of tedious weapon unlocks and the ability to customize weapons without extensive grinding, others find the limited inventory slots create a repetitive cycle of selling and rebuying character parts. Overall, the game offers a balance by providing a variety of weapons from the start, reducing the monotony typically associated with grinding.
- “There are lots of weapons to choose from right from the start, so there's no tedious grinding to get the powerful weapons.”
- “The grinding in this game feels rewarding, as each level up brings a significant boost to my character's abilities.”
- “I appreciate how the game balances grinding with engaging content, making the experience enjoyable rather than a chore.”
- “You have a limited number of slots you can use in each category. For example, when you want to buy more body parts for the character, the limit is 7. If you plan to buy more than that, you have to sell some, and then you would have to repeat the process of grinding to rebuy the previous character parts that you just sold. It's like a cycle.”
- “All weapons are unlocked from the beginning, and the only real thing you use XP for now is weapon customization instead of grinding out a certain weapon tree to get to that havoc or razor.”
- “I personally enjoyed grinding a weapon to get a new one, but it's nice to know that they took a bit of monotony out of the game.”

- “I've listened to the devs, and it's about aliens, abductions, and there's a thin story that makes me think about TimeSplitters.”
- “Right now, there's not much variety, which is a bit strange coming from developers whose mission it is to create 'original and creative' solutions.”
