The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized, with players noting it can be excessively grindy, requiring significant time investment and even macros to achieve all 4,884 achievements. Many feel that the sheer volume of achievements detracts from the overall quality of the game, labeling it as a cheap asset flip rather than a well-designed experience.
- “You'll need a second life, maybe some macros, and a will to live for grinding.”
- “This game will immediately start achievement farming upon opening, which will take roughly about an hour to unlock all 4,884 achievements.”
- “The price isn't worth it for the type of game; an achievement farming or spamming game doesn't need to have 5,000 achievements. A hundred is enough. I'd rather spend the rest of the design time making sure that the supposed game is actually a game and not a cheap asset flip.”
