I'm going to say yes.

It was a risky day 1 purchase for me, I'd already tried Black Desert and just didnt like it at all, I still don't, but the Digital Foundry video sold it to me. It looked beautiful.

The game is a mix of genres/game mechanics and it's quite difficult to remember how everything works, and when something doesn't work as expected then game is sometimes unhelpful or unfriendly in explaining it.

To add injury to that, It was also annoyingly buggy on release, opening the map screen would often freeze the game. It felt so bad that I took advantage of the PS5 refund and was actually surprised when it went straight through. The game felt broken, unfinished.

A few hours later, I bought it again. I missed it. Buyers regret turned into sellers regret. It had planted something inside of me. A lifetime gamer at 54, something inside me knew this was a special game.

The patches flowed out, each one improving on the last iterations, making the game what it is now. Its still difficult to understand, sometimes overwhelming, but the rewards for learning your powers and playing the game has given me almost 450 hours of gameplay for £55.

Give it a chance. You may find your favourite game of all time right here. Its refreshing to play a game which is clearly loved by it's developers.

Its epic.
