Compulsion vs. Enjoyment: Many players describe an ongoing cycle of completing the trials, indicating some feel they can't help but play. One user admitted, "I have done all 95 Merlin Trials at least 16 times. Itโs like a compulsion I canโt turn off!"
Repetitive Gameplay: Comments highlight frustration with the unskippable cutscenes, with sentiments like โIโve watched the unskippable cutscene 285 times already.โ
Community Support: Amid the complaints, a hint of camaraderie echoed: "Classic Ravenclaw!โ suggesting a light-hearted spirit among competitive friends.
