Should I try Crimson Desert?
I am still a student so I want to have some opinions before throwing 70 bucks at the game. I have heard very divisive opinions on this game with people swearing that its the best game ever made, while others call it boring and uninspired. I figured it is probably due to the vast difference in the players' tastes. Personally, I really enjoyed Elden ring and Witcher 3, so I will try to list out what I like or dislike about each game, and hopefully someone will be able to give me a recommendation.
Elden ring:
Like:
- Diverse build in combat
- Challenging bosses
- Environment design
- Authentic exploration
Dislike:
- Some caves or legacy dungeons can feel a bit repetitive
Witcher 3:
Like:
- Interesting main quest
- Interesting side stories
- Well written characters
Dislike:
- Combat (not really a fan, feels repetitive)
- Repetitive places of interests
- Exploration doesnt feel very fulfilling due to everything being marked on the map
