Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable for the initial hours, but it quickly becomes tedious and excessively slow. Many reviewers note that the grind for new unlocks can feel unfulfilling, as the rewards often do not provide immediate utility, leading to a sense of boredom. While some appreciate the game's foundation, the grind detracts from the overall experience.
- “Egregiously slow and grindy almost immediately.”
- “After 2.5 hours, I spent 30 minutes pure grinding for the next unlock, and all it added was something that produced wool. I can't even use wool until the next unlock... boring.”
- “Very fun for the first couple of hours, totally tedious afterwards.”
