Dune: Awakening serves up a spicy mash-up of survival, MMO and strategy that’s hard to put down—at least for the first few dozen hours. Its devotion to Frank Herbert’s lore and careful genre-blending feel fresh at first, but the formula starts to wear thin as you grind through repetitive tasks.
By the time you hit the endgame, the lack of clear direction becomes glaring, and leaning too heavily on the source material ends up clipping the game’s own wings. Fans might stick around for the atmosphere and world-building, but the overall pace and structure could use a bit more kick.
