Our final, extended hands-on time with Crimson Desert left us optimistic and intrigued by its maximalist action style. That’s gotten us plenty interested in seeing if the imminent release version can deliver on reaching the same highs as other genre greats.

      > While Crimson Desert has gotten a ton of comparisons to The Legend of Zelda, The Witcher, and even Dragon’s Dogma – one game that really came to mind during my hands-on was **Red Dead Redemption 2.** Despite what we’ve seen before about how fast you navigate the massive world, at ground level, there’s a **surprising focus on navigating** its densely populated areas with care and attention. I spent a lot of time **just wandering the back alleys,** interacting with people going about their day, finding new shops and cooking recipes, and even uncovering optional activities that do a good job of making the world feel bustling and lived in.

      WTF THIS MAKES ME SO EXCITED 😭🥹🥹

      Thankfully, we live in an age where a game is readily available with no need to pre order. Makes it easy to wait and watch

    3. Any game that reminds you of RDR2s level of detail is a hell of a salesman pitch. Fingers crossed.
