- Crimson Desert reviews just came out, and it received mixed reviews with a 78 score.
- Following the mixed reception, Pearl Abyss’s stocks have plummeted by around 30%.
- The title was expected to boast a score in the upper 80s before the reviews came out.
Crimson Desert’s reviews recently came out, and they are a mixed bag. Some are absolutely glorifying the title, calling it a generational leap in the RPG genre, while others say that the game feels quite underwhelming overall.
As of earlier today, Pearl Abyss was trading at 46,600 won, which is now down to 19,000 won, leading to around 30% fall in stocks. This comes after Crimson Desert didn’t receive the universal acclaim most people had expected.
Why it matters: Even before the score became official, Metacritic’s prediction put the title’s score at around 87. Furthermore, early previews and trailers promised a much better experience than the reviews suggest.
The mixed reviews have led to Pearl Abyss losing around 30% of its stock value, which is a shame considering Crimson Desert was promising a lot. However, it releases today, and maybe the audience reception is better.
In fact, it is really hard to judge the title based on these numbers, considering it has some really high scores as well. While some media outlets had low scores, others, such as Forbes, gave it a nearly perfect score.
But this will be disappointing for Pearl Abyss, considering the expectations from the title are massive, and even despite the less-than-expected score, people are still pretty much interested in the massive open-world title.
Interestingly, it is promising to be a financial success, as it has already sold around 400K copies pre-launch. So, it will be interesting to see if the reviews take a hit on sales when it finally comes out in a few hours.
