I played this a bit a few months ago and it felt really grindy. Lots of just going back and forth getting rocks so you can get a bigger ship to get more rocks at a time. But then that’s ETS/ATS, farm sim, and lots of other work sims.
I’ll have to check it out again to see the new stuff.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen these but I’m never disappointed.
On a practical side I treat the reviews as “this is the worst aspect of the game, if you can overlook that you will have a good time.” And it hasn’t failed me yet.
And it’s not just me right? This is similar. Revising existing licensing to squeeze more money out of people who already use their back end.
