The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while many players appreciate the depth and variety of activities like farming, mining, and crafting, some find certain elements tedious, such as limited chest expansions and unclear quest requirements. Overall, fans of farming sims enjoy the game's charm and the rewarding nature of its challenges, though it may not hold everyone's attention for long. The inclusion of puzzles and mini-games adds to the experience, making it a worthwhile endeavor for dedicated players.
“I love Stardew Valley and other farming games, but this game bored me only after 2 hours of playing.”
“Eg: limitation of the chest expansion, not knowing what you need to keep for quests and what you never need and can sell without any regrets, tedious mining...”
“It's definitely one of the better farming simulators that I've played.”
