    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unenjoyable, often describing the gameplay loop as boring and lacking engaging mechanics. Many express frustration with the repetitive tasks required for survival, such as scavenging and mining, which feel more like time sinks than meaningful challenges. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a significant drawback, particularly for those who dislike survival games.

    • “There are barely any fun mechanics in the game; the gameplay loop is boring at best and tedious at its worst.”
    • “Just another game that asks you to spend your time rather than your brainpower to overcome its tedious collection of brainless interactions.”
    • “Mining 40 rocks is tedious.”
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely absent, with the only narrative elements found on the store page suggesting a superficial premise akin to survival games. Players note that the environments are visually appealing but fail to convey any meaningful context or connection to the story, resulting in a lackluster narrative experience. Overall, the consensus is that the game offers a poor story that does not enhance the gameplay.

    • “The only suggestion of a story is the one found on the game's store page, which seems to suggest that people would play survival games à la Hunger Games as a pastime activity (opposed to those who prefer staying 'underground' for some reason?), but in the game itself, there is no added story, not even in its design.”
    • “The environments are about the most interesting part of the game, but they don't teach us anything that aligns with the underlying story, nor with the events that precede it.”
    • “Bad story.”
