I understand that in the world of Dune, Arrakis is known for its spice, but the giant sandworms are a bit of a turn-off for me. However, Dune: Awakening seems intriguing despite this threat, and a new trailer showcasing the desert planet has caught my attention. The desert bike looks impressive, reminiscent of my time in Sable, where I enjoyed exploring sandy landscapes. Although Dune: Awakening’s world is more hostile, it still promises an exciting adventure.
I appreciate the climbing feature inspired by Breath of the Wild, allowing players to scale cliffs and scan the environment to reveal nearby locations on the map. The inclusion of coriolis storms adds an interesting twist, changing the map weekly in this online survival game. While it’s a tactic to keep players engaged, it could offer a fresh and dynamic experience if executed well.
Unlike typical storms in video games, Dune: Awakening’s coriolis storms alter the landscape regularly, challenging players and adding a unique element to the gameplay. The game is set to release on May 20th, but players can create their characters in advance, allowing for customization and preparation for the sci-fi adventure ahead.
