As Crimson Desert continues to see a ton of success 10 days after launch, players are now praising developer Pearl Abyss for how quickly it's been addressing issues since the moment the game released. With this latest patch, a lot of concerns were directly resolved, improved, or patched out, while some quirks were even embraced as official mechanics.
Soaring through the Steam charts and peaking at over 270,000 players, Crimson Desert is definitely faring a lot better than it did on launch day. It even managed to rebound its Steam reviews, now being labeled as "very positive"—a significant upgrade over its initial "mixed" reception. And all of this has to do with Pearl Abyss' patches, which have improved the game to such a degree that I find myself feeling as if I'm playing a different game, especially coming off the review build.
