This raises just a few questions: What makes Dune: Awakening so good? The place are the failings? And what did Michał uncover after 70 hours?
We chatted with Michał and received all of the solutions to those questions.
One thing for everybody
With over 100 hours on the clock, the massive query is: What’s it that retains you entertained for therefore lengthy in Dune: Awakening?

The best energy and the best weak point
With the keenness of a shiny desert worm, we instantly ask Michał the following query: In your knowledgeable opinion, what’s the best energy of Dune: Awakening – and what’s its greatest flaw?
I feel the best energy is that the entire components talked about above are rather well built-in, and due to this, the sport appears like an entire expertise. The builders reply pretty shortly to participant requests, they struggle issues out and check completely different options to search out the fitting steadiness between PvP and PvE areas throughout the Deep Desert [the endgame area].
For me, the largest weak point is the steadiness between PvP and PvE within the Deep Desert. This week, 4 associates and I made a decision to go to the Deep Desert to assemble assets within the PvE areas. Nevertheless, we felt that there was virtually nothing to do for a bunch that didn’t wish to have interaction in PvP fight.
I don’t thoughts in any respect that this space is split into PvP and PvE – there simply must be a greater resolution for it.

I solely realized this after 70 hours of taking part in, and lots of different gamers appear to have neglected it as effectively. As an alternative of taking the whole lot with you in your backpack, you’ll be able to merely open your storage container and choose the automobile stock from the drop-down record on the left. Then you’ll be able to simply transfer objects forwards and backwards between a automobile and the bottom.
One other necessary tip from me: take your time. I do know everybody want to have speedy entry to sand bikes, buggies, ornithopters, and a sand crawler, however exploring Arrakis, constructing a sustainable base, and unlocking the whole lot little by little is absolutely satisfying, and also you shouldn’t rush it.
By the way, the primary main DLC for Dune: Awakening, titled Misplaced Harvest, is scheduled for launch between October and December 2025. It’ll deliver a recent aspect story and new beauty objects to the sport.
