so i've been playing crimson desert for a while now, and i have to say, it's been a really weird experience. the game just launched over a month ago, and already i've sunk like 170 hours into it, which is kinda crazy. but what's even crazier is that i'm still not really sure what's going on in the story - like, what's the abyss and why is kliff, the main character, so obsessed with arm wrestling strangers in taverns?



i think part of the problem is that kliff is just not that interesting as a protagonist. he's got the personality of a rock, and the story just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. but despite all that, i'm still having a ton of fun playing the game. and it seems like i'm not the only one - according to steam achievements, only about 21% of players have made it to the halfway point in the story, which is like, chapter 7 or something. that's a pretty low percentage, especially considering how many people are actually playing the game.



i think the reason for this is that the game's world is just so much more compelling than the story. it's like an immersive sim or something, where you can just lose yourself in all the different things to do and see. whether it's hunting legendary animals, finding cool gadgets, or just completing random tasks for strangers, there's always something to keep you busy. and the best part is that the developers are constantly adding new stuff to the game, so it feels like it's always changing and evolving.



one of the things that's really impressive about crimson desert is how quickly the developers are updating the game. they're adding big quality-of-life improvements and revamping entire features at a crazy paceRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
