Critic Reviews
Fextralife
By FextralifeCrimson Desert is an 8 out of 10 that could have been a 9 or even a 10 with better controls and less clutter. It's a "wait for sale" or "wait for a 2.0 patch" for a lot of players. If you want to deep dive into a new world and you can ignore some of these flaws, you'll definitely have a fun time. But don't expect it to be a title that reinvents the wheel when it comes to an immersive single-player experience.
TestingBuddies
By Tjark WürstleinCrimson Desert impresses with its ambitious world and presentation, but uneven gameplay, clunky controls, and technical issues prevent it from fully realizing its potential.
Manual dos Games
By Gustavo BouçasCrimson Desert is a rough diamond of colossal ambition. Pearl Abyss stumbles in its delivery of a convoluted story, graphical optimization issues, and an excess of unexplained systems, but at the same time, the title makes up for its shortcomings by delivering one of the densest, most alive, and most rewarding open worlds of the current generation. For those with the patience to master its punishing learning curve, the reward is an absolutely unforgettable journey.
ReGame It
By Taha OmarCrimson Desert changed my view of open-world games, delivering a strong exploration experience with a rich world, massive content, and excellent gameplay systems. However, its weak story and modest voice acting hold it back from reaching all-time great status, though it still remains a hard-to-ignore experience.

By Ezgi PajeckiUnable to decide what it wants to be and trying to cram everything together, Crimson Desert may not be a game that appeals to everyone, but it’s an adventure absolutely worth trying. Its story isn’t deep, but it offers a world where you can fully indulge your desire to explore different places across its massive map.
