Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss' new open-world fantasy RPG released March 19th, features ambitious mechanics spanning sorcery and crowd control but suffers from poor tutorial design, technical bugs, and obtuse interface systems that frustrate basic gameplay. Rock Paper Shotgun's impressions found beautiful visuals undermined by unexplained mechanics, excessive systems, and a narrative that fails to deliver on the sandbox action promised in pre-release trailers.
