On the continent of Pywel, the rival factions of Pailune maintained a tense balance. At Kliff's side stood his steadfast Greymane comrades, but a devastating ambush in the deep of night by their sworn enemies the Black Bears leaves members of the Greymanes dead or scattered across the continent.
Kliff—having lost his family in all but name—is determined to reunite with the survivors and rebuild the faction.
But on a journey where alliances are forged, dangers abound, and mysterious factions are uncovered, Kliff will meet those who seek to upend the very order of the continent and face a mission unlike any he has ever known.

Welcome to Pywel.
Here you'll find stretches of natural beauty and wilderness—from green plains and woods to arid deserts and rugged mountains—alongside bustling cities and quiet hamlets inhabited by residents from all walks of life. Between destinations, you will come across landmarks, ancient ruins, hidden treasures, and other points of interest that will draw your curisoity to wander. Your journey will also inevitably take you skyward to the mysterious realm known as the Abyss, where a mystical imbalance endangering the world must be restored.
The world is yours to explore as you will and there are many paths for you to uncover.
Experience the continent's stories and tales through quests, encounters, challenges, and battles. Roam the lands on various mounts from horses to even a dragon and mechs, and scale cliffsides and walls which you can leap from to glide.
The story of Crimson Desert centers on Kliff. But as his tale unfolds, 2 new playable characters—Oongka and Damiane—will come to join your journey. As these characters become available, you will be able to freely explore Pywel and undertake many quests outside the main story with them. Each character has their own combat style, as well as unique skills and weapons, allowing you to experience the world and its battles in different ways.

On the unforgiving battlefields of Crimson Desert, there is no single path to victory.
Grow your arsenal of skills, weapons, and equipment—and decide how you want to use them. Powerful weapon skills can be paired with hard-hitting bare-hand hits and kicks, as well as a wide range of grapples to create seamless chains of attacks. Acquire weapons like swords, spears, greatswords, axes, dual wields, various ranged weapons, and more, and unleash powerful abilities and elemental enhancements through lethal combinations. Stay mobile and relentless with slides, dodges, counters, and swings that flow directly into your next attack. With every strike and move, forge your own way in a world where a split second can decide your fate in fast-paced, visceral battles.
From ruthless warriors to fearsome beasts, there are those in Pywel who will seek your downfall. Encounter a diverse array of challenging enemies and bosses in brutal one-on-one duels, large-scale battle clashes, and quick skirmishes, and prevail against the threats that stand in your way.

Pywel isn't just a continent of battles and exploration. It's a world where many of the smaller moments also shape your journey and make up your day-to-day life.
Upgrade the Greymane camp, the starting point in the path to reclaiming the Greymanes' lost homeland of Pailune. Gather resources, cook, fish, hunt, and partake in the other various activities of Pywel for stat replenishment, making your equipment stronger, and more. Along the way, enjoy some leisure time by playing minigames with the locals.
And shaping your daily life also extends to customization. Adjust hairstyles, tattoos, outfits, and more using dyes you brew or pick up along your journey.

⭐ **CRIMSON DESERT ENHANCED — REVIEW** ⭐ **My Rating: 8.5 /10** 🔥 Could be a 10 out of 10 if complaints are fixed. Crimson Desert Enhanced is one of those games that tries to do almost everything — massive open world, cinematic story, brutal combat, exploration, mounts, huge battles, side activities, boss fights, progression systems, and an almost ridiculous amount of content. The Enhanced update made the game noticeably better, especially when it comes to the story and overall flow. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚔️ **COMBAT — 9/10** Combat is easily one of the strongest parts of the game. Most importantly cater to all types of gamers. 🔥 Fast and aggressive 💥 Tons of abilities and combos ⚔️ Excellent group combat 🛡️ Blocking, dodging and counters feel satisfying 💪 You eventually become extremely powerful 🎯 Lots of freedom in how you approach fights Most importantly: 🚫 **THIS IS NOT ELDEN RING 2.0** Crimson Desert has bosses, but the entire game is NOT a nonstop boss parade and made for streamers garbage and watch to play garbage. Game built for almost all kinds of players. Even if its rated little low on steam just ignore them. This game content alone is worth the money spent. There is a gigantic world, quests, towns, exploration, battles, NPCs and side content between major fights. If you like a **power-fantasy action RPG** more than repeatedly dying to bosses for hours, Crimson Desert is far more enjoyable. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 **OPEN WORLD & EXPLORATION — 9.5/10** The world is MASSIVE. 🏰 Castles 🏘️ Towns and settlements ⛰️ Mountains 🌲 Forests 🏜️ Huge wilderness areas 🐎 Mounts 🧗 Climbing and traversal ⚔️ Random encounters 📜 Side quests 🎯 Activities everywhere Sometimes you will start heading toward one quest and discover five completely different things along the way. The world feels like it was designed for people who actually enjoy wandering around rather than simply teleporting from quest marker to quest marker. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📖 **STORY — 8/10** The original version had problems explaining characters and events clearly. The **Enhanced version is much better**. 🎬 More cutscenes 🗣️ More dialogue 🧠 More character memories/context 👤 Better development for Kliff 📜 Improved narrative flow It still isn't **Witcher 3 level storytelling**, but I actually care about what is happening now instead of simply waiting for the next fight. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎨 **GRAPHICS — 9.5/10** Absolutely gorgeous. 🌄 Landscapes look incredible 🔥 Excellent lighting ⚔️ Huge battles look spectacular 🐎 Animations are impressive 🌧️ Weather adds atmosphere 🏰 Cities and castles look fantastic On a powerful PC this game can look stunning. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👹 **BOSSES — 7.5/10** Some bosses are fantastic. Some bosses made me question several life decisions. 😂 The good news is that bosses are only one part of the game. You aren't walking through a corridor containing: Boss ➡️ Boss ➡️ Boss ➡️ Boss ➡️ Depression ➡️ Boss There is a real adventure between them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📜 **QUESTS — 8/10** There are LOTS of quests. Probably too many. Worth way more than the money spent. Probably 2 games combined into one. 😂 Some are excellent, some are average, and some exist mainly to send you exploring. The game doesn't always hold your hand, so occasionally you'll wonder: 🤔 "Where exactly am I supposed to go?" The easiest way to enjoy Crimson Desert is: ✅ Follow the main story ✅ Do interesting side quests ✅ Explore naturally ❌ DON'T try to complete absolutely everything Otherwise your 80–100+ hour adventure may become a second full-time job. 😂 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎒 **INVENTORY & QUALITY OF LIFE — 6.5/10** This is one of my bigger complaints. ALMOST IRRITATING. Inventory is way too small and you have dedicate your time for inventory management alone. 🎒 Inventory can feel too small 📦 Too many items 🗂️ Lots of systems to manage 📜 Tons of side content 🧭 Quest guidance could be better Thankfully, on PC there are already quality-of-life mods that can reduce some of the unnecessary frustration. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ **MODDING — BIG BONUS** Since this is primarily a single-player experience, mods can make the game even better. Useful categories include: 🎒 Inventory expansion 👩 Character appearance mods ⚡ Progression/QoL tweaks 🧰 Utility/mod menus 🎨 Visual improvements 🎮 Gameplay customization You can remove some annoying friction without destroying the actual game. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏳ **CONTENT — 10/10** There is an absurd amount of game here. Seriously. Every time I think: "Okay, I understand what this game contains." Crimson Desert replies: 😂 **NO YOU DON'T. HERE ARE THREE MORE GAME SYSTEMS.** There are activities inside activities inside activities. For people who want a huge game for their money, this is excellent. Way more worth for your money. For completionists… May God have mercy on you. 😂 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ **WHAT I LOVE** ✅ Massive beautiful world ✅ Excellent combat ✅ Fantastic sense of adventure ✅ Huge amount of content ✅ Great power progression ✅ Amazing graphics ✅ Much better story after Enhanced update ✅ Lots of gameplay variety ✅ Doesn't feel like a Souls boss simulator ✅ Excellent value for people who love huge RPGs ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 😤 **WHAT I DON'T LIKE** ❌ Inventory limitations. Biggest failure. Dedicated inventory management on a single player game ? Come on, fire the people who designed that way. ❌ Quest guidance can sometimes be poor ❌ Some bosses can be annoying ❌ Too many mechanics introduced at once ❌ The game can become overwhelming ❌ Story still isn't Witcher 3 quality ❌ Completionists may lose several years of their life 😂 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎮 **BEST WAY TO PLAY** Don't treat Crimson Desert like Elden Ring. Don't treat it like a Ubisoft map-cleaning simulator either. Do this instead: 📖 Main story = backbone 🌍 Explore whenever something looks interesting ⚔️ Experiment with combat 📜 Do side quests you actually enjoy 🎒 Use QoL mods if something annoys you 🚫 Ignore completionism 💪 Slowly turn Kliff into a walking natural disaster That is when the game becomes great. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏆 **FINAL SCORE** ⚔️ Combat: **9/10** 🌍 Open World: **9.5/10** 🎨 Graphics: **9.5/10** 📖 Story: **8/10** 👹 Bosses: **7.5/10** 📜 Questing: **8/10** 🎒 Quality of Life: **6.5/10** ⏳ Amount of Content: **10/10** ⭐ **OVERALL: 8.7/10** ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔥 **FINAL VERDICT: RECOMMENDED** 🔥 Crimson Desert Enhanced isn't perfect. It's messy. It's enormous. It's occasionally confusing. It has more gameplay systems than some entire game franchises. But underneath all of that is a **beautiful, ambitious, incredibly fun open-world action RPG** with excellent combat and an insane amount of content. If you enjoy games like **The Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Horizon, Skyrim or other massive third-person adventures**, there's a lot to love here. Just don't try to finish everything. Your family may eventually file a missing-person report. 😂 👍 **RECOMMENDED — especially after the Enhanced update.**

i put alot of hours in to try and complete so take my opinion for what its worth. i eventually quit the game before completing really anything. The game is way too big. Terrible controls. Nonsensical story. Button mashing combat. Frustrating environmental traversal. And seems to be a ripoff of a dozen other games. i understand the addictive nature of the game. I have people in my circle who love the game. i seriously tried. I got enough hour out of the game to be satisfied giving the developer my money. That said i would not recommend the game and regret spending the money on it. It was work to play it. As in i fought the game and its controls the entire way.
I have played video games my entire life and for a hardcore gamer this game does very poor in multiple aspects. I know some will read this and be like you have an hour in the game. I will continue to play it because I spent money on it. However mechanically the game is a nightmare. Clunkiest controls I have ever laid hands on. While the world is beautiful it is set back by the terrible voice acting removing the immersion. Like I said before you may simply say “You played one hour what do you know?!” Well a game that takes longer than an hour and you have to push past its faults in the beginning of the game is what developers keep failing with today. I can move past faults, but the game should be fun from the beginning to push past them not seem like a chore or obligation. In the beginning is is essentially a platformer and running quests jumping from platform to platform with a multi press jump mechanic that is terrible. The controls on controller make it feel like you have to press two to three buttons to do anything even the simplest of things. The combat from what I have seen gets better from watching my friends play. However playing it myself even without the combos feels extremely clunky and not smooth. All in all I’d give this game a 2/10 at this point. It’s story is dry from the beginning and doesn’t feel like you are asking questions you should be asking if you died and were revived. Compared to expedition 33 which is not the greatest game imo but it is fun, immersive, and story driven this is like a simulation test for their graphics engine and world building skills. Reminds me of the matrix demo when unreal engine 5 released.
Even with the “enhanced” edition. Movement feels clunky, the controls still suck, the UI still sucks. For those that can get past those things, I envy you. There’s a lot of potential here, but I just can’t honestly recommend it due to these 3 issues.
Gaming is very boring each weapon or accessories give same thing, and there is no such store, i played 280hr this game, and i forgot the next day.
It's boring. The story is boring. The world is boring. You have ultimate freedom and a huge sandbox but it's just boring. Some direction, some story, some characters who's names I remember and actually care about interacting with. Just something to do that actually engages would be amazing. Just go and play Skyrim or Red Dead again.
Hm au yes Crimson Desert... Quite possibly the most well done single player MMORPG that is keep getting cooked (see, that well done phrase is a cooking related phrase), at least for now, who knows how it's gonna be in the next year. It is a single player MMORPG, where exploration, camp management, outfit management and combat are the strength of this game, especially the combat, it's unlike what you typically find in the genre. The combat relies on something that you can call as a class-less RPG build system where you have to unlock move sets via the "character XP system", you also have to choose what kind of weapons you want to use and here is where the game combat gets very interesting because you have many options that you can combine, the system let's you switch from a sword and shield combat move sets to a 2 handed spear move sets however you have to unlock that specific weapon switch moveset skill first, there are quite a few of weapon type combinations that the game offer including unarmed or fists only type combat move sets that is actually complex to master with some players even comparing it to actual fighting game move sets. But that's still not all, the game also feature a decent explorations with specific exploration tools that are being used to manipulate several types of environmental puzzles, the crazy thing is that some of you combat moves are actually need dtonsolve some types of the puzzles, and vice versa, some of exploration focused move sets are actually usable for combat... There are still quite a lot of more complexities with both the combat and exploration beyond what I talked in the above, for example combat is generally epic with at the minimum half a dozen enemies you have to fight, but in most of missions both on the main quests and side quests as well as Ubisoft games outpost liberation style "missions" you have to fights dozens or hundreds of enemies at once, at first this can feel tedious, but once you're in the rhyme with the combat mechanics and have unlocked certain amount of move sets and skills that's where the game is on its greatest strength. That being said, the exploration is also tied heavily into that potential enjoyment of the game because you have to do a lot of exploration in this game to be able to unlock many things, the skill points that is needed to be accumulated to get certain items that allows you to unlock move sets in this game can be gathered via killing enemies and defesting bosses yes but a significant amount of that also come from explorations and then there's the puzzles, and here unlike many modern games (so games that are made from the 2000s and above) there's almost no hand holding here and many of the environmental puzzles are really hard, heck as I mentioned before, that your combat move sets are actually used to explore? The game never tells you that, you can actually stumble upon a puzzle that you cannot complete because you don't have the right ability to solve it. Exploration in this game is also open for you to do after some sort of prologue in the game, you can go to other side of the map provided you have the right tools/move sets after that prologue, the world in this game is one of the biggest in the genre, and there are also interconnected web of floating islands above the land that you can explore, some quite important unlocks happens there as well and at some points in the main campaign you're also forced to visit and explore as well. And all of that is still like left than half of what you can do in the game here, I told you there's a camp management system, you can farm in this game, you can run a ranch, you can run a wagon trading, you can gather camp crews and send them in various missions in this game, including build projects like say building a bridge somewhere on the map or take over enemy outposts and the crazy thing is that your camp crews would actually be on those locations executing their missions in real time that you can see (and participate in combat missions), there are also quite many of mini games and side activities in this game from fishing to participating in various martial arts tournaments or even playing the in game pinball machine. Then there's the quite extensive character outfits customizations as well, the whole thing is quite complicated but I've spent close to 100 gameplay hours alone changing different outfits and customizing them because they can look that good and very different from what their default looks look like, and there are actually reddits and discord servers where players have been showing off their in game cosplay and I kid you not players have been making their characters look like many things from other game characters to anime and other pop culture characters just by customizing the outfits in this game. All of that have Intold you that the game has 3 different playable characters with their own unique move sets, with their own unique air travels as well, yeah I forgot tontell you that the playable characters can fly in this game to different degrees of limitations... Oh wait you can ride dragons in this game, one of them being an actual fire breathing dragon. There's also 2 or 3 types of mechs in this game, yeah, mechs that can shoot machine guns and cannons. There's also like 2 dozens of different type of mounts now, aside from variouz types of horses, you can ride bears, wolves, tigers lions etc.... There's also any kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to something crazy like literal metal skinned birds, and one of the "dragon" is also your pet. Oh you also have your own house that you can decorate, some of the decorations are quite important because you can store your customized outfits in wardrobes. So yeah this game is insane that way, what's the caveat? Well aside from the lack of modern hand holding mechanism, there's theutterly terrible story telling innthe main campaign, and then the side quests are literally MMORPG side quests, just go there do this type of quests, don't expect Witcher 3 or modern cRPG level of story telling in this game... And lastly the game have some jankiness on their mechanics, thehame have some specific ways for you to do things in this game that other games of this nature never needed, but I'd argue that this is kinda necessary here due to the sheer amounts of stuffs that you can actually do in the game. And lastly, I think it's recommended that you actually look for guides from outside media like YouTube or some communities that are into this game to help you understand or actually finding stuffs in this game, this mau seem like a bad thing if you're certain type of purist but for most players I don't think you can get the most out of this game without external guide. Now move on to the technicalities, the game looks amazing when you cranked up the graphics setting up to maximum, but then it also became as heavy as may recent AAA games that people often complain about, there's also some graphical glitches when using graphics tech like ray reconstruction, but when you are willing to tone down the graphics a bit the graphics/performance ratio becomes quite amazing when you consider the game world scale of this game and that you can go almost everywhere without seeing any loading screen in a game this big. I also happily report that the game have a near flawless 21:9 ultrawide display from the beginning, including in the cutscenes, there's no weird pillar and envelope boxing black bars that often somehow exists in many other AAA games... And lastly the game seem to be heavily invested Bu the developer, they're still adding features and improving the game, in fact the game itself has been quite thoroughly being overhauled compared to it's first release state back in March of 2026, and this while I've stopped playing the game, I've eagerly awaiting what they will bring in an expansion. Welp I'm about to run out of word space in this review...
Crimson Desert feels like a game that was created in a lab. They threw in Zelda, RDR2 and others and in theory it should be perfect but it just feels soulless. It has countless systems but most of them aren't fun in any way. Why do I need to carry sacks in my camp? Why do I need to hit a tent pole with a hammer four times? Why can't I skip cutscenes? Why are there so many scenes where I have to walk next to someone who walks incredibly slow and tells me some boring stuff I don't care about? The boss fights are garbage, the enemies stupid and you can just hammer one button and eat 20 steaks to heal. There is no strategy involved. The skill tree is also so basic and boring. You can clearly tell that this game was supposed to be an mmorpg and they changed course mid-way. The devs completely misunderstood what made the slower approach of RDR2 work. RDR2 is slow but everything matters. Here, because the story is so terrible and there are so many unnecessary things, it just becomes a chore.
Ну вот спустя 272 часа я готов написать рецензию на эту игру)) При этом я еще не освоил прямо весь контент, так... прошел полностью основную сюжетную линию и сюжетки основных фракций. Ох как же тяжело писать обзор на такую огромную игру! Но просто пойду по порядку: Перво-наперво, это самая красивая с точки зрения графики игра за всю историю игровой индустрии всего человечества. Поверьте, я переиграл в сотни игр на максимальных настройках и знаю о чем говорю. Подобного уровня графики просто нигде не видел. Да, за это спасибо UE5, но всё таки местные пейзажи - это амброзия для моих зрительных сенсоров. Здесь не просто крутая природа, она прямо фотореалистично настоящая, плюс тут разные биомы. Плюс тут есть возможность смотреть на пейзажи с высоты птичьего полета с графикой как в реальности. Это непередаваемо. Именно поэтому я старался как можно реже пользоваться телепортами и вообще выключил мини-карту при обычном перемещении по миру. Я ловил огромный кайф в том, чтобы просто добраться самому от одного города к другому, ориентируясь на местности. Это даже круче чем в Скайриме, ибо здесь картинка перенасыщенна деталями и от того ты хоть 20 раз проедь по одному и тому же маршруту, ты не сможешь увидеть всего. Каждый раз ты будешь подмечать новые детали, новые подробности. Всё благодаря современному графону. Когда я только начинал играть, то сразу понял, что сюжетное повествование здесь далеко не Ведьмаковского уровня. Тут нет драмы, нет глубоких характеров персонажей, всё поверхностно. Вот ты приходишь к НПС, получаешь небольшой диалог как в ГТА и отправляешься дальше. Если бы этим все ограничилось, мы бы получили тупой клон Ассассинов. Но тут я открыл местную базу данных, вики, где написано про всё. Вообще про всё. При этом пару строк. Вот ты повстречал сюжетного персонажа, который в диалоге не раскрылся, а потом открыл быстренько вики и за пару секунд чтения (тут справки крайне комфортные и короткие, нет графоманства) ты узнаешь кто он, чем занимается, какое место занимает в политической системе. А потом я прочел про фракцию, в которой он находится. А потом узнал про страну и политический режим. Узнал про отношения разных стран. Узнал что внутри страны идет противоборство разных семей. А еще есть другие страны со своей политикой. А еще что даже у рандомной горы тут есть справка о ее истории или происхождении названия. И когда вот так я читал по ходу игры все справки о том, что встречал, то мир игры просто расцветал передо мной невероятными красками с точки зрения лора. В игре оказался очень крутой интересный мир со своим лором, который не спрятан за пространными сюжетами как в Елден Ринг, а который прямо как реальный только с магией. В жизни я тоже обычно если встречаю что то новое, то лезу почитать справочку на вики или у нейросети. Также и тут. При этом игра не душнила текстами как это было в Блэк Миф Вуконг, где вообще хотелось вырвать себе глаза от чтения непонятно чего. Поэтому да, с точки зрения драматургии и характеров - сюжет в игре проходной. Но с точки зрения лора, с точки зрения построения мира и его устройства - боже, это шедевр. Не шучу. Чтение справок настолько оживляло для меня происходящее, что прямо местами до мурашек. Однако пару слов про драматургию: всё таки она в игре есть. Точнее она круто реализована через музыку и через эпичные моменты. Другими словами периодически по мере прохождения ловил море мурашек по телу при просмотре местных катсцен. При встрече легендарных персонажей под атмосферную музыку, создающую нужную атмосферу. Хотелось бы упомянуть активности, что есть в игре, но боюсь для этого понадобится 10 обзоров. Места не хватит. Просто скажу, что в игре настолько много различных механик реализовано, что они вообще не фига не надоедают, ибо ты при желании переключаешься между ними .Во вторых они не обязательны. В третьих они создают ту самую атмосферу свободы открытого мира, где у тебя столько возможностей, что мир кажется живым. Даже если ты этой возможностью воспользовался один раз за игру, но ты знаешь, что да, я могу это делать, но не буду, это мой выбор. Я буду заниматься тем, что мне интересно. И это невероятный подход. В целом, на ближайшие годы Кримсон Дезерт для меня будет эталоном понятия ААА-игры. Знаете, тут столько контента, что я не видел даже в играх Юбисофт. Но в отличие от Юбисофт, где весь мир - это копи-паст. Здесь вложились в разнообразие. Спустя 50 часов, спустя 100 или 200 часов я постоянно находил что-то новое. Игра чем то меня удивляла. Игра меня поражала. Я не помню уже давно игры, которая способна была меня порадовать новым контентом спустя 200 часов. Это абсурд, но это реальность. Я не представляю сколько человеко-часов вложено в этот продукт, но это число просто космическое в сравнении со всеми ААА-играми прошлых лет. Это что то уровня Ведьмака 3, когда мозг взрывается от количество интересных вещей, но там упор был на сюжет. А здесь на лор и механики. В каком-то смысле это Геншин Импакт для взрослых, без доната и фулл контент за свою цену. Лично для меня на данный момент это игра года. Не побоюсь назвать это шедевром в своем жанре. Но идеальных игр не существует, не хотелось бы тут начинать прикапываться к мелочам и недостаткам, просто распишу про один минус: перегруженность подачи новых механик в первые часы игры из-за неудобного управления. Да, первые часы игры я реально страдал из за того, что не знал вообще че нажать в той или иной ситуации с головоломками. Но в дальнейшем это сошло на нет. В целом мне нравится как игра не пытается тебя вести за руку. Тут сложные загадки. Зачастую я вообще не знал что делать при первой встрече той или иной загадки. Это круто. Я устал уже от игр, где всё очевидно. Где всё предсказуемо и легко. А здесь я еду мимо руин, которые никто не разгадал уже наверное лет 100. Я осматриваюсь и понимаю почему уже 100 лет никто не раскрыл их загадку. Я тоже не знаю как ее раскрыть, поеду дальше, удачи. Это невероятно крутое атмосферное явление, когда древние руины - это древние руины, а головоломка для пятого класса. Написал уже миллион слов, но всё равно кажется, что я много чего упустил, не вспомнил... Игра настолько большая многогранная... Что для меня Кримсон Дезерт? Это в первую очередь исследование мира, путешествия, изучение этого мира через посещение реальных мест, чем ориентирование на местности, через чтение исторических справок об этих местах. Через встречу сильных мира всего. Игра про это. Если бы я просто бежал по маркеру проходя главный сюжет - я бы разочаровался в игре, ибо не про сюжет она. Сочувствую тем, кто просто пробежались по основному квесту. Ребят, Вы пропустили 99% кайфа.
Just play Red Dead Redemption 2, its emerassing how RDR2 is 8 years old and does everything Crimson Desert does but 10x better. How are we going backwards and how are games becoming worse... I swear people calling this a masterpiece or game of the year must have played only slob games the past years so they are used to slob. This game definitly is really good for helping me to fall asleep. I'd play this for an hour or so before i go to bed and i get sooo tierd and bored that i sleep like a rock afterwards.
