Crimson Desert is a “Cynical Amalgamation of Borrowed Mechanics,” Says Larian’s Publishing Director

Crimson Desert is enjoyable, but it feels like a collection of ideas borrowed from other games. It’s a bit like a greatest-hits compilation you’d find at a bargain store – not necessarily bad, but lacking originality. We’re likely to see more games like this, especially in the free-to-play market, because developers are playing it safe and avoiding risks.
