Crimson Desert's Charting the Unknown DLC reviewed by Travis Northup on PC and Xbox Series X, also available on PlayStation 5.
"Crimson Desert’s Charting the Unknown DLC is unlikely to win over anyone who hadn’t already fallen in love with this massive world, but it does successfully expand a game that already had a staggering amount of stuff to do. Diving around underwater ruins and exploring islands for treasure is a good time, even if the ship exploration and combat on the way to that seafaring content is a bore. Elsewhere, some of the new activities like a business management minigame and NPC dating are absolutely worth adding to your backlog of quests to tackle. Those side distractions continue to be the true appeal of Crimson Desert, but it’s a shame that the new story questlines that act as an extended epilogue are largely as dull as they are inaccessible. Overall, Charting the Unknown is just more Crimson Desert, with its “jack of all trades, master of none” philosophy fully intact. If you’re hundreds of hours deep and that’s all you want, it will almost certainly deliver – but if you’re not, it’s not the most convincing reason to come back."
