Multiplat Crimson Desert

I saw on twitter that this has jetpacks and I'm now very confused about what this game is.

This is probably my biggest concern, it looks like it could have a bit of an identity crisis.

Hopefully I can get a sports car or a tank instead of a horse

I’m the opposite. I love the meshing of different genre tropes. Makes it a bit different.

Is it a medieval saints row?

I think if you're on consoles and it isn't a pro this is going to be a rough ride.

I've got a feeling it may be retrofuturistic, in the sense of medieval technology taken a little further. Thinking along the lines of Da Vinci's inventions in Assassin's Creed 2, or the flying machine in Jade Empire, rather than something you'd see with what we would expect a jetpack to be.

Or this whole thing could just be utterly batshit insane, which I'm here for. I'm Day 1 on this.

Did not find all the game systems to be fatiguing or stressful to deal with

This is good news for me

I'll be using the balanced mode on PS5 with my LG C4 Oled other games that have this option look and play great on my tv

Reviews are out and mostly pretty good!!

I reckon this probably captures things pretty well:

 

[James Colorado]

Early reviews are mixed; there's a few with very high praise, some that are not very complimentary. All are based on PC version.

 

[pantskyle]

Yeah reviews are bordering on average, 78 on metacritic currently from 91 reviews.
Will say that's not unexpected, the game is so huge that it'll have it lovers and haters and likely will be a few updates away from being what they want.

 

[bourbons]

Seems the main issues reviewers are reporting is a lackluster narrative/story, steep learning curve with no/minimal tutorials for the myriad systems in the game and some wonky controls.

I'll still give it a crack, pretty crazy that they actually do seem to have delivered on the technical aspects.

 

[mickelboy182]

Really don't know what to think with this one, doesn't look like a total disaster or anything but feel like it won't live up to the hype.

Reviews seem to align with my thinking somewhat - seems like a good game with high ambition, without being a transcendent masterpiece. Intrigued to read more about whether it feels bloated or compelling with how much content it seems to have.

 

[Supersuns]

Reads very much like a MMO crammed into a single player game, for all the good and bad.

That aligns with the earlier reviews of no hand holding. Sounds like it'll be a good game to just lose yourself in.
