Crimson Desert Enhanced

大世界是够大的，但是解谜探索一点引导都没有，全靠自己瞎弄，有些自己还根本反直觉，一定要看攻略，不知道制作组咋想的，纯纯恶心人，解谜给我气红温了

想做全成就一堆bug完成不了，纯赤石！

Probably the worst controls for an RPG I've ever had the pleasure to deal with. Playing with the controller feels clunky and imprecise, you get bombarded in the first hours with dozens of button combinations for combat and out-of-combat situations. Mouse and Keyboard are slightly better imo. Menu navigation feels clunky, way too many submenus. The worst bow mechanics I've ever seen. Forced auto-aim except when you go into precise aim mode. The bow is more of a "don't aim, just fire and let the auto-aim do its thing" tool — which wouldn't be a problem if there weren't moments in the game where precision is required. Forced camera acceleration, which you either crank up to max — and now everything is accelerated — or turn down to 0 — congrats, now your camera controls feel like you drank 6 beers. You can't really lock on to targets, the game does that automatically for you. But it's not good. A lot of the time it forces you to attack someone you wouldn't want to, or nothing at all, because your character strikes 180° behind him. The game forces you into cutscenes after some fights, and all the enemies you killed and were excited to loot are gone after that. Parrying feels weird and unresponsive. Dodging feels terrible. Roll and dash are on the same button, minimal dash distance, and bad controls for where you want to dash. The dialogue is a joke. Boring. Meaningless. Your character is just a husk with no personality. He dies in the prologue, gets resurrected, and just doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ that gods and whatnot are now giving him the ability to fly and blast things with force. He just doesn't care. He seems to be a character with a backstory, but you wouldn't know it from his interactions with other NPCs, because he's so soulless. The game just doesn't really look clean. It's way too sharp and is really exhausting on the eyes. Leaves and grass are especially bad. The city and ruins I saw were fine. The game has so many mechanics it feels like it has no identity, because it wants to be every RPG ever made rolled into one. Idk, I really wanted to get into the game, but it makes me furious.

There are a lot of element in this game, but none of the element is interesting nor challenging. This game plays more like a simulator than Action RPG. The most challenging part is to memorize the buttons.

long and time consuming. tons to do worth the money

CRITICAL MAC UPGRADE SOFT-LOCK WARNING (Apple Silicon M-Series) While the open-world combat and world rendering run well on higher-end hardware, the current native macOS client suffers from an unpatched, universal ServerWalkThread segmentation fault (EXC_BAD_ACCESS / KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS) that instantly drops the client to the desktop whenever interacting with almost any major NPC. This completely halts campaign and bounty progression, making the game unplayable past early chapters. Pearl Abyss's support desk has ignored multiple tickets regarding this core audio/dialogue memory pointer failure. Do not purchase the Mac port until a dedicated stability update targeting the rendering thread is deployed.

After years of Pearl Abyss teasing this thing like a corpse they refused to let anyone see, Crimson Desert finally crawled out of development on March 19, 2026 — and immediately split the room down the middle. Critics landed it at a 78. IGN slapped it with a 6. DualShockers called it a 9.5. The players? They're sitting at an 8.6 and climbing. So which is it — masterpiece or mess? The ghoulish truth: it's both, tangled together, and whether you love it depends entirely on what you can forgive. What it gets gloriously right is spectacle. This is a massive single-player open-world fantasy epic with some of the most jaw-dropping boss fights in the genre — towering, cinematic brawls that feel like wrestling a god. The world is enormous and stuffed to bursting with things to do: traversal tools, side systems, secrets buried in every corner. When Crimson Desert is firing on all cylinders, it's the kind of game that makes you stop and just stare at what's happening on screen. And then it trips over its own feet. The combat and controls are clunky — a sprawling pile of mechanics that never quite click into elegance, fighting your fingers as often as they fight the enemies. The narrative, for all its ambition, never grips hard enough to carry the weight of the world around it. This is a game with a hundred systems and not quite enough discipline to make them sing together. That's exactly the gap between the critics who bounced off the friction and the players who pushed through it and fell in love. Here's my honest ghoulish verdict: if you need tight, polished, hand-holding design, this will drive you up the wall. But if you can stomach jank in exchange for scale, ambition, and boss fights that'll live in your head for weeks, there's a genuinely special beast buried in here. The player score climbing well past the critics tells you everything — this is a game that wins people over the longer they bleed into it. Go in patient. Fight the ugly bosses. Let it grow on you like rot.
