Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Deluxe Edition

In this episode, Lady Decade breaks down the growing controversy surrounding the South Korean open-world action RPG, Crimson Desert. While the game achieved massive commercial success at launch, a significant divide has emerged between the critical establishment and the actual players. We explore the "two-tier" review system, the specific attacks levelled at the game from Western gaming outlets, and the recently acknowledged AI art controversy. Is the critical response to Crimson Desert a genuine reflection of quality, or is it a result of ideological misalignment with the Western games press?
