Behavioral scientists found that the human brain doesn’t actually crave constant novelty. It craves pattern recognition and mastery, which means the person who finds genuine pleasure in their morning walk along the same route is neurologically closer to fulfillment than the person who needs every weekend to feel like an event

Crimson Desert review

Crimson Desert is big. So big, it turns out, that this open world game requires not one but three loading screens. The first is a simple bar loading shaders and the like; the second whisks you away to a blocky realm with a twinkling star sitting on its horizon, a strange and tantalising lead-up for a game that bills itself primarily as a high-fantasy action romp. The third sees the... Read more
