So, About Those Crimson Desert Puzzles...

Solving puzzles in Crimson Desert can be time-consuming, tedious, and very often frustrating. So why the hell is it so darn satisfying when we piece together a solution in a situation where it felt like the game was actively working against us? Because that’s what the greatest Greymanes do. They persevere in the face of impossible odds, even if those odds involve figuring out how to get a drawing on the wall to align so we could unlock a way to kick our opponents as we descended from the skies above them. Love them or hate them, Crimson Desert’s approach to its puzzles is an interesting way to smirk at existing traditions and give its players a level of trust that other games have hesitated to adopt. Join us as we look at why that’s great news for you, and for open worlds in general as they now have a new benchmark to aspire to. Thumbnail credit: nexusmod user: scottyus1
