Reviewing games can be kinda weird. When I’m playing stuff for personal reasons, there’s no deadline. No definitive date that I have to roll credits or reach 100% completion by. It’s just me and the journey. However long that takes.<\/p>\n

But I am also employed by one such website called PC Gamer, <\/em>and sometimes I do <\/em>have to play games as part of my job. Ones which do <\/em>come with deadlines. I’ve just spent the last week of my life devouring as much Crimson Desert<\/a> as I could feasibly manage alongside boring regular human stuff like cooking <\/em>and showering <\/em>and sleeping <\/em>(blech!). Another few days and I probably would have developed a Scottish accent and started cooking two dozen steaks in anticipation of a looming boss fight.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a lot of takeaways from my 75 hours of playtime\u2014you can read all about them in my Crimson Desert review<\/a> if you haven’t already, thank you very much\u2014but one of my biggest ones of all? This is not a game to be devoured. It’s a sippin’ drink, not a tequila shot. It’s one of those weird little sweets your grandma always had that were undeniably better when you spent five minutes sucking them to a razor-thin pebble rather than crunching straight into it and shattering it into tiny pieces.<\/p>\n
