The reviewer recommends waiting for a sale before purchasing the game due to technical bugs and balance issues.

“So, as you guys know, I rate games on a buy, wait for a sale, wait for a deep, deep sale, or never touch it rating system. This one's got enough bugs and enough issues there with the imbalances that I would say this is a wait.”

The game lacks necessary polish and feels like a giant beta test, making it currently not worth playing compared to other available titles.

“I feel like this game is one giant beta test. And matter of fact, what you guys just said confirmed it. The fact that the boss went from being overtuned to now he's too easy, that says to me this game would have benefited a lot from Q&A.”

A camera mod is essential for an improved experience because the default camera is poor and the mod increases immersion.

“I think the camera in Crimson Desert is pretty bad, the default one. So this mod, yeah, I highly recommend the mod. It makes a big difference. It really it makes it go from a game that feels like you are playing kind of an an MMO to playing more of this like third person action game.”
