GAMINGbible • • technology
Key Points:
- Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss’ action-adventure game, has received mixed reviews, praised for its open world but criticized for clunky controls, an uninteresting protagonist, and a dull story, holding a Metascore of 78 and a User Score of 7.8 on MetaCritic.
- Despite these issues, the game has sold over 2 million copies, though many players face a steep learning curve and performance problems, especially on non-Pro consoles where it runs with low textures and frame rates between 20 and 40fps.
- PlayStation 5 users have reported that Sony is unusually allowing refunds for Crimson Desert, with customer support agents providing solutions first but refunding without questions if problems persist, including issues like game blurriness linked to the 120Hz setting.
- Pearl Abyss is actively addressing player feedback, having released a PC patch to improve storage and controls, with similar updates planned for consoles, and has promised to replace AI assets that were problematic at launch.
- While not a complete failure, Crimson Desert’s current state has disappointed some fans, but ongoing patches and improvements may help the game fulfill its original potential.
