Info about Incremental Infinity:

Official game description:
Incremental Infinity is a game about reaching infinity. In an abstract world ruled by numbers, you’ll grow exponentially stronger through a **truly infinite, procedurally generated skill tree.**
You fire automatically. No action is required other than interacting with the skill tree.
Your number isn’t just your **Health**—it’s also your **size**. The bigger your number, the larger and more powerful you become. But be careful: one defeat sends you all the way back to “1”**,** though you’ll keep your upgrades when you restart.
Unlock new sectors of the infinite skill tree, discover unique upgrades, and keep pushing your growth farther and faster.

  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews converge on approximately 4 hours as the point where players feel they have experienced the game's content or are satisfied, supporting a game completion time of 4 hours. One review describes a single session lasting over 4 hours, indicating a typical session length around 4 hours. No reliable evidence for story completion or endgame hours was found; mentions of higher playtimes (10 hours) are from players engaged in achievement hunting beyond completion, and wave 121 is noted without associated time. Thus storyCompletion and endgame are set to null.

Common complaints:
- Repetitive gameplay loop (weight 0.61): Players report the game quickly becomes repetitive, particularly after the second ascension. The core loop lacks variety and fails to provide engaging changes.
- Slow progression (weight 0.47): Progression is too slow, especially in the beginning and after ascensions. Players feel progression drags without meaningful rewards, leading to boredom.
- Skill point shortage (weight 0.4): Skill points are too scarce for flexible upgrades. The tree expands infinitely but points remain finite, forcing players to waste points on filler or unwanted nodes.
- UI and graphics issues (weight 0.39): The UI lacks resolution options and has an unintuitive window position. Graphics are plain, with a color palette that causes issues for color-blind players.
- Lack of dopamine rewards (weight 0.39): The game fails to provide satisfying rewards, lacking a sense of excitement or inflation. Players feel they are aimlessly waiting for numbers to increase.
- Useless idle gameplay (weight 0.35): Idle gameplay provides no real benefit, contradicting the incremental game genre. Players must constantly click to progress, with no automation or acceleration.
- Boring skill tree (weight 0.34): The skill tree is monotonous and lacks meaningful choices. Upgrades only increase damage, offering no evolution or exciting build paths.
- Not a true incremental (weight 0.34): The game fails to deliver the satisfying inflation feeling expected from incremental games. It feels like a proof of concept with shallow content and no growth.
- Harmful progression mechanics (weight 0.32): Unlocking nodes lowers density, making quests harder and progression feel harmful. Frequent rebirths and forced cycle resets add frustration.
- Flawed skill tree RNG (weight 0.3): Randomized skill trees with unwanted nodes undermine strategy. Players cannot reliably build desired setups, and the random branching feels frustrating.
- Missing QoL features (weight 0.28): Quality-of-life features are lacking, such as skill filtering in the talent tree, a search function, auto-save, and a damage breakdown. This makes gameplay tedious.
- Short and lacking depth (weight 0.26): The game is short (about 4 hours) and the demo covers the entire content. There is little added from the demo, leaving players wanting more depth.
- Weak ascension system (weight 0.22): Ascensions provide minimal bonuses, making the reset feel unrewarding. The process is repetitive with no significant changes to gameplay.
- Exponential damage scaling (weight 0.22): Damage scaling requires exponential effort, with diminishing returns. Players feel forced to grind for hours with little visible progress.
- Purchases worsen gameplay (weight 0.21): Buying upgrades can dilute ability power, making the game harder. The store description is misleading, and the game is not as free as it appears.
- No automation or acceleration (weight 0.21): There is no acceleration function or automation, forcing constant clicking. This makes active play boring and idle play useless.
- High memory usage (weight 0.09): The game uses around 1GB of memory, which is excessive for its simple graphics. This can cause performance issues.
- Limited meta options (weight 0.08): Only three meta upgrade options exist (exp, damage, diamonds), which is too restrictive. More variety is needed to sustain long-term interest.
