This comes after the first reviews of the highly anticipated open-world action game were released globally, which were generally positive.
Currently, Crimson Desert has a Metacritic score of 78 based on 86 reviews, which is pretty good, but failed to reach the 80 range due to some outlets giving the game a rating between 60 and 70.
It’s also worth mentioning that all reviews were based on the PC version of the game, since no PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series
In the four stars of TechRadar Gaming Crimson Desert Review writer Isaiah Williams praised the game’s open-world exploration, combat, and compelling story, but it suffers from quality of life issues and unfair enemy encounters.
“Crimson Desert is easily one of the best action-adventure games of this generation. Developer Pearl Abyss delivers stylish, remarkable combat in an exceptional open-world experience with spectacular visuals that make it a must-play game,” Williams writes. “It provides little to no guidance, giving players complete freedom to think outside the box in exploration and combat encounters, using unique mechanics to overcome puzzles, enemy ambushes, and other obstacles that await.
“Overall, I had an absolute blast playing Crimson Desertand even though it’s not a perfect game, it still has some tweaks and updates to make it a masterpiece, and it’s already a strong candidate for game of the year. “
Crimson Desert officially launches today! For those playing on PS5, you can also look forward to Sony’s PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) upgrade technology update after launch, which will be available for the PS5 Pro version.
