While eagerly awaiting Crimson Desert’s release, you might enjoy its spiritual predecessor, Black Desert Online. Although Black Desert Online is an MMORPG, unlike Crimson Desert’s single-player action RPG focus, both games feature similar high-octane battles and rich fantasy settings. Black Desert is celebrated for its expansive world, dynamic action combat, and stunning visuals. The core game is quite affordable, but it’s worth noting that it heavily relies on microtransactions and in-app purchases, a model Crimson Desert appears to be avoiding. Nevertheless, it offers an engaging and cost-effective way to pass the time until March if you stick to the base gameplay and character customization.
