All games have a grind in general, like sb2, but sb2 is even worse grinding. no not really I think you're mistaking grinding for progression. Progression is just the act of moving up and improving. In a puzzle game you can't really grind in a game like long dark you can't grind only improve your skills in r2da differs from progression for starters it's not fun and secondly it eats up your time if you have to draw focus away from gameplay to earn ranks on a farming server it means there is something wrong with the system. overall, progression is still a grind, it doesn't feel like one as you do feel progress, as compared to a grind which would take a long time.

In a game like r2da yes progression is still a grind but even then there are still key differences one of them being how it feels. The statement was more about games in general. I made the point that you can't grind in a puzzle game you just solve puzzles it's just improvement as the challenges get more and more difficult.
