According to my Steam account I have clocked more than 500 hours in the PC port of "Children of the Light", I kinda wish I didn't.
Don't get me wrong, I have found it rather enjoyable. My issue is mainly that the game is at most a handful of hours of gameplay that you're expected to repeat ad nauseam while grinding for in-game currency.
The currency is used to buy cosmetics for the main part. There are new stuff being released pretty frequently but there are also a few key elements related to the "main-levels" that I feel some type of compulsion to collect before I put this game down.
I'm rather close but my main issue is the heart currency. Seeing as it's a social MMO hearts are gifted between players but since I'm a friendless loser they are pretty rare to me.
I've been playing daily for way over a year and it's getting (gotten) pretty tiring. Hopefully I can complete my goal before I go nuts.
