Crimson Desert aspires to be Breath of the Wild, but doesn’t understand it

It’s difficult to play Crimson Desert and not compare it to other games. Its map design smacks of Red Dead Redemption 2. The combat design and attention to detail are just like an Assassin’s Creed game. For me, it took less than 30 minutes of playtime to see The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild imprinted in the core design of the game. However, Crimson Desert‘s mistakeis to believe Breath of the Wild‘s appeal lies in its technical achievements instead of its mysteriously alluring and culturally rich world.
