Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it often leads to repetitive tasks and the risk of soft locking, although the autosave feature provides some relief by allowing for adjustments in gameplay.
“Luckily, the game autosaves, so you can sometimes change what you do in-game to avoid inevitably soft locking again, but this obviously grows tedious.”
