In this video, I share my hands-on impressions from the Dune Awakening beta weekend. From the surprisingly immersive gathering system to a building experience that, while clunky, shows real promise — Dune Awakening is shaping up to be a unique survival MMO.
Combat is where things get tricky. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either — and in a game that only gives you two hours to hook a new player, that might be a problem. I also dive into the incredibly well-crafted character creation and the smooth onboarding story arc that helps new players ease into the world of Arrakis.
I highlight both the strengths and the rough edges, and bring in real quotes from the community — both those who agree and those who don’t. Let’s talk about what’s working, what needs polish, and whether this game is worth keeping an eye on.
Drop your thoughts in the comments — especially about the combat. Is it just early-stage roughness, or does it reflect the slow, methodical nature of Arrakis warfare?
