Crimson Desert is finally here, and while most people seem to be enjoying their time with the game generally, its launch hasn't been without controversy. Developer Pearl Abyss has apologized for AI-generated assets slipping into the release build and there's been widespread criticism of the game's story and controls, but in terms of actual gameplay, this seems like an open world sandbox worth checking out if you're into that sort of thing. Unfortunately, the means by which you're meant to explore are fairly limited, and a growing chorus of players say they were "misled" by "false advertisement."
