A beautiful and entertaining new take on the classic MMO, with a strong player driven content path. I welcome that.

Black Desert Online has proven to be a real, nice surprise: an action title that hides a top-notch managerial, with tons of activities to keep you busy. It's a title worth to be tried, but only if you're ready to invest a lot of time, patience and dedication.

Black Desert Game is a PVP game for wizard classes and character capture. There are several classes, but it's a game that acts as a servant to make certain characters look like kings

Great game, but it took way too much of my time. Also the market can sometimes be a really awesome things while on the other hand is sometimes just awful. Also can be way too grindy. Overall great game though.

Black Desert Online is an addictive and interesting game full of changes. It is so huge and it is so full of options, that it might scare away a few gamers. That would be a pity because this game is worth your money: after 138 hours there is still so much to discover.

Black Desert Online had potential to be ground breaking, but suffers from a monotous PVE grind and some questionable practices regarding its cash shop. [Oct 2016]

Black Desert is a fully fledged epic MMO that can compete with the biggest and the best in the genre and is absolutely the prettiest one of them all. The world is a bit strange and gamers will need time to adjust but reasonable amount of interesting gameplay mechanics should interest experienced players and newbies don't need to be afraid - Black Desert is very easy to get into.

Pearl Abyss’ Black Desert Online is an incredibly detailed, visually gorgeous MMORPG that succeeds at nearly everything but having a beating heart and soul.

Black Desert Online wants to be distinct from other MMORPGs, but it isn't different enough in the ways which really matter. The game's few innovations aren't enough to make up for its myriad shortcomings, making it come across as just another MMORPG.

Como MMO es el mejor que hay actualmente y que ha habido nunca... dudo que se encuentre un sucesor mejor

This game has come a long way, and the p2w stigma is really not true anymore, outside of a remote repair/buff access campsite. The mob density is really engaging and i enjoy blasting through big groups of enemies. The main complaint I have is it's hard to know what's going on, what to do, etc. There are tons and tons of different questlines and your log will quickly fill. There are also way too many items, these two things lead to a very confusing new player experience.

Open world PvP with limited reprocussions for griefing, so you know what happens? Griefing is rampant, some guilds thrive on causing problems, or karma bombing - you just need to google all the PK related problems which absolutely ruin a somewhat decent MMO, if grindy.

The only fun thing about this game was the character creation screen. This part is probably more varied than you will ever see in any MMORPG, but that's where the good thing about the game ends. The gameplay was unintuitive, aimless and very repetitive. In plus, if you don't want to waste hundreds of hours of your life, this is a game that you should spend money on so that you can have fun without really wasting time.
