Crimson Desert review: "Take time to leave the beaten path and you'll find a game that's far better as a sandbox than as a story"
Crimson Desert is a vast and ambitious open-world action RPG that excels as a sandbox despite a messy story and inconsistent mechanics. While boss fights can be frustrating and the narrative is difficult to invest in, the sheer amount of diverse activities and the visually stunning world make it a compelling experience for those willing to overlook its flaws.
