    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect somewhat tedious due to the necessity of backtracking within the relatively small world, leading to repetitive running between various locations in the village.

    • “There is a bit of backtracking involved, and while the world isn't massive, that can get a little tedious running back and forth between the different locations of the village.”
