Pearl Abyss blames review process for Crimson Desert's 77 Metacritic score. 🔗 "Critics had to play the build that is not the exact same version as the launch game," said European CEO Lybee Park. "They also had limited time. Usually, the classical approach when they review the game is to follow the main storyline. But our unique charm is spread across our in-game world. All those tiny details that are hidden. I am not sure critics had the fair chance to explore those during the review period."

The Blood of Dawnwalker is currently sitting at 83 on Metacritic, just behind The Witcher at 86 and The Witcher 3 at 92. Creative director Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz says the mostly positive reviews are a “Great relief” after a stressful wait. “Waiting for the reviews to come in has been nerve wrecking to say the least, but they’re finally (mostly) here!” He also thanked his team, calling it “a privilege to work with such a talented Team.”
