Should I try Crimson Desert?

Recommendation request

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
