This game has no business being as good as it is, like some aspects are real bad (game controls are very poorly thought out/implemented, story doesn’t exist, etc), some aspects are real good (the movement, the combat, the options, the exploration).
Idk, if you like Assassin’s Creed you should play this game. This feels like what every AC starting from Odyssey should have felt like.
Edit: oh, and you can suplex people. You can go full WWE in your Korean single player RPG. What more need I say?
I forget who said it, but I saw a review that called it the worst game they enjoyed. It’s hyperbolic but I agree on some level. Like I feel like I should have lost interest 10 times by now, but it keeps pulling me back in with new crazy things to find, new systems keep popping up and I’m like 60 hours in.
The story is absolute garbage, like I feel like there had to be an actual once at some point but it got butchered or edited to pieces. There are breadcrumbs all over that feel like there has to be more to the story but every time there’s some big emotional scene I feel like I’m missing some crucial pieces of information.
Tying inventory space to the shitty fetch quests was a stroke of genius though. I’m still doing every one I find so I can hoard more. You need me to ask someone across the country if they liked the stuff you sold them and you’ll give me 3 more inventory slots? Sold.
I’m still pretty early in, but the thing that really blows me away is how alive the world feels.
Just moving through nature, there are all kinds of critters dipping in and out if bushes every which way.
On my journey yesterday, I passed through a tannery, a quarry, textile production, and a small encampment that seemed dedicated to charcoal production.
Most fantasy RPGs have big cities, small villages, maybe some mines and farmland, and then Wilderness.
Crimson Desert is giving me the impression they really thought out and put in every little logistic that goes to supporting these kinds of societies.

There is a story. Is it the best? No. But it exists and isn’t as bad as it’s generally stated.
I want you to tell me a singular storypoint that requires Kliff to be Kliff.
