Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be initially enjoyable, but it quickly becomes tedious and frustrating when attempting to achieve 100%. The need to replay sections without effective skip options contributes to the annoyance, as players often resort to repetitive actions to progress.
“It's interesting and fun, but when you replay the game for the achievements, it gets tedious and annoying really fast.”
“While I think the game's fine, I found it really tedious and annoying to achieve 100% completion since you had to constantly replay the game. There wasn't an effective way to skip to the next important part besides spamming 'E' and making sure you didn't pick the wrong option while doing so.”
