  It&apos;s definitely a special game. I absolutely love it 270 hrs in on chapter 9.

  It’s important for people to know that once you get to a certain chapter in the story you get to explore Pauline and leaving Hernand is actually a good thing. Pauline is beautiful as in stunning and it’s become my new home, but you need to go through the story to make it non hostile and you can enjoy it as much as Hernand. I don’t think people realise that because if you explore before that you constantly end up against bandits and it becomes frustrating. Playing the story really changes everything and I think it’s a great story and the characters are great.

  It’s inarguably one of if not THE greatest open world games of all time. A truly special, once a decade type of release. For me personally, I’ve never had more fun than I have in Pywell.

  I&apos;m 200hrs in and still on chapter 5 with maybe 30% of the map explored. The world is absolutely massive, well worth the price tag. They nailed the exploration so it doesn&apos;t feel like a chore, I remember with assassin&apos;s creed I got frustrated with exploration with how cookie cutter it felt. Crimson desert always keeps you on your toes with new puzzles, boss mechanics, gameplay mechanics, it never gets boring. Easily game of the year for me, possibly even game of the decade. It&apos;s just really good.

  This game is the only game that made me feel the way Elden Ring did. Just the same feeling of wonder and excitement. I’ve played many games but In regards to that specific special feeling, it’s only been those two

  😅yep. Something about this game, it just makes you wanna take your time and soak it in. &nbsp; I&apos;ve got about 190 hours in and I just started chapter 8..so much stuff I haven&apos;t even uncovered, it&apos;s just unreal

  Completely agree about the sustained interest. I&apos;m at 340 hours and whether it&apos;s collecting timber, farming materials, ACTUAL farming , or doing missions, not once has anything felt like a chore.<br><br>And you&apos;re spot on about the value of returning to areas. I just went back and did a walkthrough of Odeck again a few nights ago.<br><br>I can&apos;t believe there&apos;s a single player game that I&apos;m HAPPILY going to play for at least 500 hours. Bring on some paid DLC with new regions....

  Excellent video. I’m 170 hours in, and I’m really trying not to watch spoiler videos. By far the game graphics are amazing. I’m on a high end PC with a 9700XT, and I’m in awe with the settings. <br>One of my top 5 games ever.
