Dune: Awakening review
Dune: Awakening review - Three outstanding games in one, dripping with love for all things Dune.
Perilous are your first and millionth steps on the sands of Dune: Awakening, an unashamedly harsh game that throws you deep within the desert, along with nothing but a crafting kit and a vague mission: Find the Fremen, wake the Sleeper. There are technically alternative solutions, in weapons that offer avenues for bypassing shields - be it through overwhelming firepower or special twists on how projectiles interact with them - but the vast majority of your time fighting will be within these bothersome boundaries. There's this fifty-ish hour chasm between the opening minutes of Dune: Awakening and the real meat of the story, where your only taste of cinematic storytelling come from brief huffs of spice in desolate places, something that gets tiring fast, save for those who savour a night out in Port Talbot.
