Crimson Desert

 It's a good game. The controls really set the game back, but it seems like the developer is working on this. I don't like the combat, personally. I have never been a fan of souls-like combat. The open world, discovery, freedom to make decisions, multiple approaches to puzzles, and deep systems are top-notch. It is better than any other game to date in these departments. The visuals are also quite good and the game engine seems well optimized.

The idea in Crimson Desert is that you will enter combat, have no idea what to do and get instantly one-shot. Then you repeat over and over until you figure out the "trick" to beating the boss. Then you do that trick until you get it right. Victory. Not my cup of tea, but it seems the majority of modern "gamers" love this combat system, so I certainly understand why the developers utilized it.

I have enjoyed the game and I think the negative reviews are largely unwaranted.
