It's funny in hindsight because before this game released there were so many armchair analysts saying it would be dead on arrival. Good for them.

I’m still sitting on the fence on this one. On one hand I love the Dune universe but on the other I’m not crazy about survival games and melee combat doesn’t look great.

Melee is actually pretty fun with the bene gesserit skills. You can tie multiple movement skills together to zip around a room killing enemies with super speed
Fancy cutscenes and “lore” to cover up boring gameplay.
It’s just another base building + gather resources game.
The quests are go to A, go to B, collect stuff.
The gunplay is like shooting plastic straws, the enemy ai is braindead, the climbing mechanics are the worst I’ve ever seen. Ice glitched INTO walls and got soft locked so many times I stopped counting. There is a “unstuck” button. Doesn’t work. Want to report a Bug? Button doesn’t work.
Good I got it gifted, wouldn’t spend a dime on this. It’s not finished at all and just another clone game…

All ambitious games have problems on launch. If the studio is any good, these usually get cleaned up over the following six months or so. I’ve played over 100 hours. Game is fun.

60 hours in and loving it. Enemies get much harder further in. I find the lore excellent as a Dune fan. Graphics are great and gameplay is fun and challenging, every thing feels like a constant threat and achieving anything is rewarding.

Friend gifted it to me.
This game is so bad.

Be fair. Wait for the p2w micro transactions after launch, then judge 😁
There is an unstuck button. It’s in the bottom left if you hit esc iirc. I’ve used it a few times.
I really enjoy the Dune universe but I’ll never get this because of Tencent
I wouldn’t exactly call it an MMO? I mean I get it for marketing purposes, sure, but it feels more like Valheim or so to me?
Waiting for the post launch overpriced pay to win microtansactions. After they establish a player base of course
