[2024] Question for the UIM- Is the gameplay the reward or sense of accomplishment?

It adds an extra layer where you don't just need to do everything yourself, but you need to learn the quickest ways to get the items you need, like the nearest knife spawn to a teleport, quickest way to get decent food, and so on. It also means you need to be ruthless in what you drop or decide not to keep, and especially towards the end-game you need to get really really picky. You can't switch between activities too easily, you're best just committing to whatever your current goal is without distraction. 10/10 good game mode.
