Game massively suffers from repeated pointless fetch quests for low quality stock image reward. I like the choice of models for their uniqueness, that does not mean I'm willing to play where's waldo on an empty map to search for at best a single lewd.
Remove the grind, no one appreciates it, if you want to make a Indiana Jones of hiding "key items" around the map, add a guide to supplement it. I don't mind puzzles, but grind (the gifts and running across the map to work in the bar only to get nothing from it) ruins any enjoyment this game could have.
This comes after two hours of searching around to find a way to get to the beach scenes and use the scroll, couldn't. Either I'm as bad as an IGN employee or the game needs work.
