Crimson Desert's review scores are perfectly fine. They're pretty good, in fact. But the new open-world RPG isn't the best game ever made, as some people hoped it would be, prompting developer Pearl Abyss' share price to sink almost 30%.
Crimson Desert was previously best known as the game that looked almost too good to be true in all of its maximalist trailers. Glimpses at its dragon riding, jetpacks, grapples, a huge fantasy world, quick cuts of too many weapon types to keep track of, and some absolutely massive boss battles made it one of Steam's most-wishlisted games.
