Black Desert Online is a beautiful game marred by inept tutorials and an impenetrable story. The gameplay is strong once you understand it, but that might not happen before your patience runs dry. Black Desert doesn’t have typical endgame raids like comparable titles, but instead offers its endgame systems near the beginning of your journey. It’s refreshing, but also hard to wrap your head around....
