Black Desert

Black Desert is a lavish open world where the combat plays like a fighting game: you aim, dodge and chain attacks by hand rather than clicking a target and waiting. You build your character in fine detail, then start as an adventurer with no memory and go wherever the map pulls you. Beyond the fighting there's a whole second life of trades, fishing, cooking, alchemy, crafting, riding horses and sailing, and guilds go to war with each other over land and pride.
