Black Desert Online is an MMORPG developed by Korean game developers Pearl Abyss, it features a vast open-world to experience, choose from over 20-character classes to master, paired with a dynamic and fast-paced combat system. If you’re not interested in combat, you can explore the vast world and level up several useful life skills to gain money and useful crafting ingredients, and many more countless social activities to keep you invested.
The biggest issue for me is how dense the complexity makes the game. Crafting, particularly cooking, requires a lot of experimentation or wiki-diving, and finding out the game’s systems isn’t always represented, even in the quests. There are always quests that give you reasons to gather or play the many mini-games—moving a wheelbarrow requires you to keep a cursor in between two points, and the fishing system is actually rather fun.

Black Desert Online has many faults, but the sheer scope of the game’s systems and variety in your day-to-day MMO life can more than make up for its shortcomings. So far, Daum and Pearl Abyss have proven very receptive to Western gamers’ wants and needs, and I’m hoping that in time Black Desert Online will be an even better experience for all. But for now, it’s still easily one of the best MMORPGs on the market, and the best non-traditional experience any fan of the genre could hope for.
