I love Dune but that game is so powerfully unappealing to me... I didn't play it so maybe I got the wrong impression from a few minutes of gameplay but it read to me like every generic crafting-survival-base-building live service game from the last 15 years since MC and DayZ. Does it do something subversive or is it really just Rust on Arrakis?
Its a rust x Cohen Exiles baby with a Dune theme.
The actual game is decent tbh, but like it's not at all what was advertised. It lacks common MMO mechanics to the point where the studio even said they were dropping the MMO theme then they used that same excuse "it's an MMO" of why they couldn't use self hosted servers and why it was forced private rented servers(which ended up being more like private homes) instead of allowing self hosting.
The game is also very vastly empty, and combat will not be at it's best until easily hours into the game and there is a lot of walking and copy pasting of designs. Plus it's a forced PVP env, they can call it all they want, but required resources are locked to PVP only areas and end game is strictly PVP as well.
