Black Desert Online is enjoyable if you like pvp or running goods between cities for profit. But the games pros are outweighed by its cons.

Pros:

• An amazing parkour system where you can climb over any wall and onto roofs etc.
• The game looks great and has good optimization
• The autorun feature means you can set a destination to a quest or location and just hit your run key
• The lack of fast travel gives the game a more life like feel to it. Combined with a trading system that has you running goods between cities.

Cons:

• THE ENERGY SYSTEM. Everything you do requires energy, if you cut down 10 trees you then have to wait HALF AN HOUR to cut down another 10.
• The voice acting is atrocious
• Such little effort has gone into the quest text and dialogue, combined with how fast you level it might as well not exist
• The ludicrous cost of cash shop items. An outfit will cost the same amount as the game itself. Your auto loot function costs $10. And the dye system is a joke.
• Daum's business practises. The way they interact with the community, the prices they put on items and the fact they had you waive your rights to a refund if you pre-ordered the game all ties into the fact that Daum can not be trusted. I really would not be surprised if they made the game free to play 6 months later.

You will get enough fun out of $30 if you can ignore the cons just don't support bad business practises; don't buy cash shop items
