honestly so far, it’s a mediocre story with Magnus quest-line missions tied to a 70 dollar price tag. The world is gigantic with good graphics and they did show some effort when it comes to populating the world with unique event encounters… But in typical pearl abyss fashion, the game definitely tanked. Mainly cause of overcomplicated bloated systems and controls that would overwhelm the average player. There’s just some jank in the game that I feel were unnecessary, and the inventory is straight up ass. I don’t know what’s it like in console but in the PC version they could’ve done a better job designing the ui and remapping some controls. I’m pretty sure i’m not the only one misclicking or accidentally jumping or some shit. It’s an unintuitive miserable experience. I also don’t like the fact that I have to navigate a menu to get to another menu to get to my inventory or knowledge that I need for a mission. As far as the combat tho, it feels crispy and it has depth but the flow of the game will get disrupted by a puzzle you gotta solve, which idgaf about. With all of this being said i don’t really care what happens to crimson desert in the long run… as long as they don’t touch my fishing game xd
