Crimson Desert Review – Vast, violent, and impossible to put down

Crimson Desert is the sort of game that suddenly appears on everyone's radar. The ones that captivate us with great marketing and cinematics, but leave everyone skeptical as to whether they can deliver on what they promised. And Pearl Abyss's first voyage into the sphere of singleplayer, narrative-driven video games proves they really understood the task and delivered exactly what they told everyone they would.

Here, we have a huge open world filled with loads of content, exciting locations to visit, and stories to experience. Wherever you turn, you'll find some genuinely intersting activity or side quest. It's a concise, player-driven, sandbox experience attached to an epic overarching story of loss, revenge, and bloodshed.
