The comparison to Red Dead Redemption 2 didn’t come out of nowhere. Crimson Desert features an organic open world where the kingdom of Pywel feels alive with every step Kliff takes. Pearl Abyss has invested heavily in interactions that go beyond combat, creating a truly living ecosystem. Our review of Crimson Desert is coming soon!
Crimson Desert and its living open world!
As you explore the small towns, the population density catches your eye. You can find children playing, elderly people in taverns, and even beggars asking for a few coins to survive.
The real charm lies in the animals: you can pet cats and dogs scattered across the map, and even carry them.

Exploration in the open world is equally rich. Unlike other RPGs with empty maps, here you always find something: NPCs fishing along riverbanks, isolated cabins with secrets, or mountains hiding cinematic views.
Everything is designed so that every corner feels alive. Pearl Abyss got it right by focusing on this detail, because with a massive open map, having life is essential—imagine Red Dead Redemption 2 or GTA 5 with no life on the map.

Even though some ground and wall textures need polishing, Pywel hits the mark by offering varied activities that ensure the player never feels like they’re stuck in a “repetitive grind.”
If you’re looking for a game where the journey is more important than just completing objectives, Crimson Desert is for you. But it’s important to note that the game still needs some improvements.
