Many were waiting for Crimson Desert, but after the publication of reviews with criticism, some players were disappointed in the game in advance. The creator of No Rest for the Wicked and Ori and the Blind Forest drew attention to the change in mood in the community.
Thomas Mahler decided to speak out on social media. Many players perceive the published scores as a sign of an "average game," but he believes that they do not always reflect the real quality of the product:
Modern games have become so complex that it is extremely difficult to make everything perfect, because you have to bring together hundreds of components. Therefore, it is often wiser to just wait a little — especially if the release turned out to be "hot" and requires several patches.
A similar position was expressed by a representative of the Palworld team "Bucky. He noted that the perception of games is subjective and the same score for players can mean completely different things: "What is 77 for one is 100 for another."
