grinding

Players note that grinding is minimal in this game, as experience points, gold, and player power are limited and do not increase through traditional grinding methods. Instead, the focus on efficiently solving problems and managing corruption transforms what could be mundane grinding into engaging cost/benefit decisions, making the gameplay feel less tedious.
- “As such, XP, gold, and player power are quite limited and cannot be increased by grinding.”
- “The day-to-day mechanic, where there's an emphasis on solving the world's problems as quickly and efficiently as possible while minimizing corruption, takes what would ordinarily be relatively boring grinding and turns each small battle into a cost/benefit conundrum.”
- “It doesn't feel too grindy.”
