It's like a bad good game.

I feel like there's all this depth hiding under the surface, but ultimately when you play it becomes tediously trudging through small boring pod-style dungeon floors. There's moss and mushrooms and grass to eat. You can hit a monster. Find some random junk in a chest, some piece of trash on the floor, and hope that if you combine you get a good thing. Beat a boss. Who cares because now there's more of the same.

That's it.

I keep doing this and I'm not having any fun.

I think for some people, the pleasure is unfolding the intentionally inscrutable game mechanics. For me, no. I want the gameplay to stand on it's own and the gameplay aspects are actually as dull as it could possibly get.
