Crimson Desert just launched, but players are already refunding it — and the biggest issue isn’t performance or graphics… it’s the controls.

Overcomplicated inputs, input lag, and frustrating design choices are turning players away fast.

Will Pearl Abyss fix it?

00:00Crimson Desert just launched and players are already refunding it.
00:03Not because it's broken, but because the controls are a complete mess.
00:08Simple actions like talking to NPCs or jumping?
00:10Those can require multiple inputs for no real reason.
00:14Players are calling it overcomplicated, clunky and straight up annoying.
00:17Some are even reporting input lag, where actions trigger after you press the button.
00:22One reviewer even said the game creates an illusion of depth
00:26by making basic mechanics unnecessarily complex.
00:29My take on this is simple.
00:31If the game doesn't feel good to control, nothing else matters.
00:34No matter how interesting the mechanics are.
00:36It's going to be interesting to see what Pearl Abyss will do in order to mend these issues.
00:41I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
