Why Dune: Awakening Is Better Without a Safety Net
Dune: Awakening lets players stumble through failure and discovery, shaping Arrakis into something harsher and more honest than most MMOs allow.
From a gameplay standpoint, Funcom's Dune: Awakening is both satisfying and demanding, focusing less on the quantity of content and more on the pacing of said content. Once players make it through the initial tutorial chapter of the game, they will still have its continued story and relevant side quests, an increasingly complex resource grind, and a call to conquer the desert using nothing but their wits and a handful of tools ahead of them. From there, Dune: Awakening largely refuses to hold the player's hand, but it's better for it in the end.
