Dune: Awakening Shines Early, Even as Bugs Bite Hard.

A promising survival MMO emerges from the sandstorm — but not without a few stings 🐛🔥

Gamers have been holding their breath like Fremen in a sandstorm 🌪️, and now it’s finally happening — Dune: Awakening has landed in early access! 🎮💥 The highly-anticipated survival MMO set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi saga is already turning heads, and not just because of the massive sandworms 🐍.

🌟 A Stunning Start in the Sands

Let’s start with the good stuff: this game looks absolutely gorgeous. From the sweeping dunes of Arrakis to the ornately detailed stillsuits and spice harvesters, Dune: Awakening captures the look and feel of the world perfectly. 😍

“It’s like Mad Max meets No Man’s Sky, dipped in spice.”

Exploration feels rewarding, survival has just the right amount of pressure, and combat is fluid and exciting. Whether you’re clashing with raiders or dodging a worm’s gaping maw, there’s adrenaline in every moment.

🐛 But the Bugs Are Real — And Annoying

Unfortunately, not everything is smooth sailing on the sand. 🏜️ While the visuals and ambition are sky-high, early access players are reporting a swarm of bugs, glitches, and server hiccups. 🚨

Some players have encountered:

• ❌ Character models disappearing
• 🪲 Clipping issues and floating NPCs
• ⚠️ Laggy combat sequences and rubberbanding
• 💥 Crashes during spice storms

It’s not game-breaking for everyone, but it’s enough to dampen the thrill for some early players.

🧪 Early Access = Growing Pains

As with any game in early access, there’s an understanding that things won’t be perfect. But players are hoping the devs act fast, especially with the hype around the Dune franchise peaking after the success of Dune: Part Two in theaters. 🎬

The devs have acknowledged the issues and promised rapid updates, so there’s hope that this shimmering gem in the desert will only get better. 💎🌅

🤔 Should You Jump In Now?

If you’re a Dune fan, the atmosphere alone might be worth it. If you prefer a polished experience, you might want to wait for a few more patches. Either way, it’s clear this game has potential — it just needs a little more spice 🌶️ (and a little less glitch 🐞).
