The Crimson Desert user score on Metacritic reached 8.3

After a patch the note counts at more than 100 fixes, the Crimson Desert user score on Metacritic turned positive. The start was about 7, then a plateau at 7.8 with mixed reviews. It is now 8.3, and the score is rising with new positive votes.

The Steam curve is the same: mixed first, then mostly positive. The writer does not treat the game as a game-of-the-year contender, but singles out exploration and the fights. The story, he says, raises questions at first, and the reason shows up later. The studio’s bet, he writes, was exploration, and that is where the project is strong.

The figures are user scores, not the press average, which had been sitting around 78.
