Dune: Awakening

maud dib

LOOKS AMAZING, JUST WISH IT HAD MORE GOING ON AND THE COPY AND PASTE AREAS ARE A LITTLE DISAPOINTING. IF YOU ENJOY A GRINDY GAME WITH BEAUTIFUL SITES THAN ITS A GAME FOR YOU. JUST DOESNT HAVE ME HOOKED LIKE ARK OR PALWORD

ch rate sehr davon ab, sich einen Privatserver zu machen( zb für sich und freunde) . Am Ende ist alles weg, und es gibt keine Möglichkeit, beispielsweise auf einen Standardserver zu wechseln. Die ganze Zeit, die man investiert hat, war somit umsonst. Das hätte ich gerne früher gewusst. Entweder mal zahlt oder bleibt auf Offiziellen servern wo es halt andere spieler geben könnte.

Found it good so far its a nice mix between survival and story with satisfying upgradability

Sto giocando da poche ore, sono entusiasta, grafica bella e fluida, gameplay di grande respiro, godibile, evoluzione storia degna dell'originale.

I'd say you can hardly do a better job making a Dune MMO. Stunning visuals, engaging progression and story, not too much survival (actually I don't like survival games) and imo very good combat mechanics. I can only say do not expect the next WoW. This game has its own identity and to me that's a good thing. It only falls off in late game but until then you have gotten 100-200 hours of fun out of the game which to me is absolutely worth it.

Progress in the game is being unnecessarily blocked behind mandatory main quests, and the combat mechanics are extremely frustrating. After the trading quest, the main quest told me to travel to a crashed ship. Because the distance was very long, I spent about 1 hour stocking up on water. Taking the direct route would almost certainly have exposed me to sandworms, so I had to take a much longer and safer route, which took me another 1 hour. In total, I spent around 2 hours preparing and traveling just to reach the mission location. As soon as I arrived, I was attacked by 2 ranged enemies and 1 melee enemy with a knife. I managed to lure the melee enemy into an ambush and kill him, then killed the two ranged enemies as well. By the end of that fight, I had less than 10% health remaining, and I had already used around half of the 20 bandages I brought with me. I then entered the crashed ship and encountered another ranged enemy and another melee enemy. I had just killed the ranged enemy with my gun when the melee enemy suddenly rushed toward me at an absurd speed. He was able to close roughly 50–100 meters within only a few seconds. Before I could even switch from my firearm to my knife, he was already attacking me. The main problem was not simply that the enemy was difficult. My controls were not responding properly. I repeatedly pressed the button to switch to my knife, but the weapon would not switch. I tried to sprint, but my character kept walking instead of running. Eventually, I somehow managed to create around 50 meters of distance and started healing myself. Within almost no time, the melee enemy caught up to me again and killed me while I had around 10% health remaining. Losing approximately 2 hours of preparation and travel within seconds because of unresponsive controls and an extremely aggressive melee enemy is not an acceptable gameplay experience for me. I am also very disappointed that important progression systems such as vehicles, shields, and other equipment are locked behind mandatory story progression. This severely limits my ability to explore and progress through the open world in my own way

I usually don't play survival open world stuff, so I was all the more surprised how much I actually enjoy Dune: Awakening. I re-watched the first Dune movie alongside the game and was impressed by the emphasis placed on the accurate depiction of certain elements. Like how things in the game work exactly how they are depicted in the movie and how everything also sounds the same. I mean you could say "Duh, it's based on it" but still, there is a lot of attention to detail, that should be appreciated. People who enjoyed the new movies will have a field day with this game, I think. That is, if the survival open world genre hits the certain itch. As of writing this review, I have not finished the story this game has to offer, but I also think it is not really the main focus. It is there because it kinda needs to be there but that is it. Not to say what I've experienced so far is bad, but it is hard to really get into a story if literally everything else around the game is more enjoyable. You kinda have like 10 minutes of story which are then interrupted by 20 hours of gameplay that lead to 10 minutes of more story. To be fair, that has more to do with the fact that everything you do in this game is very time consuming, so I did focus on other things first. That being said, if you are that the kind of person that enjoys going through a progression system, unlocking better stuff the more you play with some story stuff on the side, then this is for you. Can't really speak of end game, since I have not really reached it yet but there are certainly things to do. There is one thing about the game that really annoys me, though. I don't know if it's down to my sub-optimal internet connection, the server itself, or something else entirely, but a lot of aspects feel very "janky." Like when I use an ability, it puts away my weapon, which is fair I guess, but then it takes a solid 2-3 seconds for my character to pull out their weapon again. Doing that mid combat, you can imagine it is getting frustrating really quick. I just wanna use an ability but then my character just stands there, taking shots and knife stabs and I cannot do anything about it. Since it only affects certain abilites, I feel like it is something to do with the game itself. Like I can use the hook to traverse and grapple enemies with no issues, but deploying a shield wall or throwing a grenade completly takes away control of my character for a couple of seconds and it feels very wrong and jank. It is one of the reasons I avoided certain abilities entirely. Combat in general does not flow well and it is especially jank with certain abilities. It is best to just stick to simple melee and guns. In the end of the day, I did and still do enjoy my journy with Dune: Awakening and I can recommend it, if it is on sale. I would not recommend buying this at full price though. If you are a fan of the new Dune movies and the game is on sale, you might wanna give this a try.
