    Black Desert does a lot right but a lot of it is hard to experience with little to no tutorial and technical issues that never really let up. It's clear that the current generation of console just isn't quite up to handling a game of this magnitude, but even so Black Desert provides an epic and frequently beautiful MMORPG experience.

This game is nothing like they show it to be,it has so many issues,the frame rates are terrible,the pop ins are just as bad.The only thing thats good about it is its massive and has tons of missions and things to do,if I could only enjoy it with all the issues.

    It tries to be like alternative life simulator, but that turn against itself. There is so much stuff that I’m overwhelmed. The game does not explain anything.
    1. Example: i have a dog, but I don’t know what to feed him or where to buy it???
    2. Example: I tried to buy a bow for myself at the market. Bought it even twice and payed it twice, but never received anything.
    Good thing is that I didn’t pay more than 20 euros for this.    … Full Review »

NPC's glitch out and are stuck in the walls, they path through walls. The grammar is awful and typos abound. I understand the game was not initially released in English, but at least run it against a spellchecker! I truly do not understand how a company could make such a beautiful game, graphics wise, and then utterly ruin it with bugs and glitches. This is the only PS4 game I ever actually requested a refund for because it was so disappointing. I've played a lot of MMORPGs over the years... this takes the cake as the most unpolished.… Full Review »
