grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating, particularly due to repetitive tasks like the tedious 3-step airlock process, which detracts from the protagonist's role and overall engagement. This repetitiveness leads to a feeling that the main character serves merely as a vehicle to reach a less interesting third act, diminishing the overall experience.

- “The protagonist feels less like a protagonist and more like an excuse to get to the tedious 3rd act, which seems to introduce a character whom the writers want to be the real focus of the game. (So rather than being Captain Mal from 'Firefly', Pilgrim is more like Itchy & Scratchy from the Poochie debut.)”
