    What could possibly be so amazing about this game that everyone’s raving about it? But even the skeptic in me quickly fell in love. No exaggeration - if you love playing games, or especially if you make them, you’d be missing out big time by skipping this one. The game design is just that ridiculously good.

    Crimson Desert presents a steep barrier to entry with its flat narrative, demanding controls, and heavy pacing.

If you have the patience to overcome its initial unfriendliness, this fascinating continent is well worth your time to explore.

    Silksong felt like a potent spirit, distilled from the souls of moths who love to dive into death. Its color and aroma are beautiful and alluring, but it's a hard liquor you can't recommend to just anyone. It would have been impeccable if, on that fine line of taste and temperament, the game had distinguished its audience solely through lucid design rather than frustrating design. As it stands, however, it seems Silksong has fallen short.
