Players find the grinding aspect tedious as they face increasing difficulty in leveling up, with less time to find targets and fewer clues available, making the process feel frustrating and repetitive.
“As you gradually level up, you have less time to find what you need and more targets to choose from, making it pretty tedious. Additionally, there are fewer clues available, sometimes just question marks, which makes it very hard to guess at times.”
“The grinding feels endless, with repetitive tasks that offer little reward and make progress feel painfully slow.”
“I find the grinding aspect to be a chore, as it often feels like I'm just going through the motions without any real sense of achievement.”
