Crimson Desert – PlayStation 5

One of a kind - This is a game where you can do things you never thought you wanted to do in an open world RPG. If you've had open-world fatigue like I have, this is the remedy! It's gorgeous, well designed, with interesting quests and an absolute power fantasy. It's absurd in the worst possible way!

Wow!! - Can’t recommend enough! So much to do and the devs are constantly adding things!

Great adventure game - Great openworld game with many options to play. 60 plus hours of gameplay and some dlc is coming out soon.

Game is boring - Slow and no life in it. Technically impressive tho I guess.

Buy this game - This game is incredible. Just watch YouTube tutorials to tweak the graphics settings on a base ps5 to smooth it out. Reminds me a bit of Witcher 3 and it’s not annoyingly hard to play like Elden ring or other souls games

Skyrim-like wonder - I just love getting lost in this game. I barely advance the story because the environment and graphics are just too good. I cross-play this on PS5 with my Steam save profile since the new update and it's awesome to be able to play on the PS Portal when I'm not at my desk to play on Steam. Just awesome game. So many details.

Ambitious - Game does a lot of things and is really a sandbox rpg. Love a lot of the mechanics and they keep pumping out updates, its been fun to play

So much game awaits in Pywel - Crimson Desert is a visually stunning, massive open-world adventure by Pearl Abyss that acts as a jack-of-all-trades, delivering breathtaking exploration hampered by clumsy controls, janky puzzles, and a weak story

Great game - No complaints from this game. I got what I paid for

Amazing!!!!! - Gorgeous graphics and gameplay!!! Loads of stuff to do and side quest enjoying every minute

Flawed game that I can’t put down - Crimson Desert is a strange game. Clunky controls, nonexistent story, flat characters. And yet I cannot put it down. The gameplay is so much fun, combat is great, the world is incredible to explore and there is just so much you can do. It would probably be easier to name things you can’t do in this game. If you’re looking for a fun action adventure game in an open world sandbox I could highly recommend Crimson Desert. If you’re looking for a gripping story and deep characters this is not the game for you. But if you’re looking for a fun game you can sink hours and hours into, this game is perfect for you. 8.5/10

Top Notch Game - Best open world game since GTA 5. Smooth and beautiful graphics and cutscenes. Easy to control. Super immersive game that lets you manage a camp, train pets to follow you, cook meals and potions, and solve many puzzles all the while working through a quailty main quest storyline at your leisure. By far the most under advertised best game of 2026. Bethesda has finally met their match in open RPG arena. This game is a must for all open world RPG gamers. Only dislike I have is that the game doesn't really explain how to do a lot of things so I've had to look up a large number of tutorials on Youtube. PLAION/ Pearl Abyss should really make their own Youtube channel and could capitolize on all the views and traffic it would get. Aside from that at point of this review I've already invested 90 hours in gameplay. And forsee this will keep me well entertained until GTA VI comes out.

Fun combat, exploring, and pets - Really enjoying this game! Exploring and fighting are my favorite parts, and I love the pets you can get too. Been having a lot of fun with it. Definitely worth playing!

A do-it-all game - It is so impressive what they were able to do with this! It feels like so many games in one.

Fun game - Very fun open world game, with lots of side content to do and explore.

Husband loves this game - my husband is very impressed and loves this game. He plays it whenever he gets the chance

An open world rpg - The game has received several updates from the developers and they have been attentive to the players and community. A must buy.

My favorite of the year so far - Took my time to explore and the experience lasted longer than expected! Played it faithfully for three plus months! I highly recommend! The devs took care of the players with all the updates!

Love this game - At first I thought the game was going to be slow with bad graphics but I was wrong it’s awesome. If you get a chance give it a try

Amazing - Everything I hoped it would be and more. Also, when Best Buy delivered it, it came and record time and purposely or not purposely added an extra one for me to own, so thanks.
