The first time I playedDune Awakening, I was swallowed by a worm.
Note: Spoilers for both Dune Awakening and the original Dune books ahead.
Remove the hand and you will die.
When caught in a trap, an animal will gnaw off its own leg to escape.
We skip much of the political intrigue and dive straight into survival.
If Dune Awakening can capture even a third of the scope of the books, Ill be pleased.
A Survival Game, And Then Some
Lets not get too ahead of ourselves here.
Dune Awakening is otherwise pretty much your standard survival game, especially during the first twenty or so hours.
I wasnt expecting Dune Awakening to have so many quality cutscenes interspersed with its relatively mundane survival gameplay.
It really elevates the game beyond the standard fare of the genre.
Even some of the points of interest, like underground testing facilities and greenhouses, are laden with narrative.
But theres a lot of lore to dig into here.
