Dune: Awakening review isn’t one game but three, a psychedelic melting of genres. Dune: Awakening gameplay at first a full-fat survival game, thirty hours later it becomes an RPG rich with lore and political intrigue. Another thirty, and you’re in a Discord call collaborating with guilds on how best to fend off the Atreides and win the weekly Landsraad. Only now, having played Dune: Awakening through everything available, do I see the full picture.
Dune: Awakening gameplay is a refreshing MMO that isn’t just about the endgame. Each part of its arc – survival sim, RPG, and guild-based MMO – serves as a fully fleshed out, premium experience. Dune: Awakening gameplay is faithful to the source material and has clearly been made by a team in love with Frank Herbert’s books and their various adaptations. Whether you’re Team Atreides or Tean Harkonnen, this game has something for you.
