Crimson Desert looks like a perfectly fine game. I've not played it, and I don't intend to, so my perspective is based predominantly on trailers and reviews from my industry peers. Which, as it happens, also generally seemed to reach a consensus of "yeah, it's fine. " Sibling site European Gamer certainly seemed to think so, as did others.

Speaking to The Game Business, Park explained, "I do believe both parties have fair points, especially critics. They had to play the build that is not the exact same version as the launch game. They also had limited time. Usually, the classical approach when they review the game is following the main quest line. But our unique charm is spread all over our in-game world. All those tiny details that are hidden… I don't think critics had a fair chance to explore those during the review period. "

Finally, a PC specification list that actually indicates resolution and framerate targets, and doesn't leave console players behind.
