Spectacular decor
Survival and exploration are very fun.
Leave behind the characteristic RTS of the saga.
Technically, it's quite good.
As MMO works really well
Content focused on the MMO experience
Long learning curve
It is not yet available for consoles.
Few courses if you want to play alone

Immersive survival experience that feels accurate to Dune
Enjoyable as both a co-op and solo experience
Environmental hazards make traversing the desert feel dangerous and rewarding
Plenty of things to do throughout the world
Mediocre combat
Unsophisticated enemy AI
Story doesn't pick up until its latter half
Glaring bugs when climbing
Classes don't feel important

GameHope
Successful and faithful audiovisual immersion in Dune.
Rewarding progression through deep crafting and well-integrated vehicles.
Compelling alternative scenario, respecting Herbert's universe.
Freedom to play solo or in intense cooperation.
High strategic potential in PvP thanks to the Landsraad and guilds.
Awkward technical fights (stiff animations, approximate impact detection).
Grind present on advanced materials and vehicles, although moderate.
Technical difficulties at launch: long queues, room for improvement in server management.
Inventory interface lacking ergonomics

GameKult.com
A hostile, fascinating world, very faithful to the universe of Dune.
A real, carefully crafted solo experience, almost an introspective experience.
Remarkable artistic direction, between brutalism and metaphysical beauty
The choice of uchronia is a brilliant idea.
A deep RPG like the desert, with true richness in choices and builds.
A sometimes confusing interface and an improvable technical stability
A combat system that starts off sluggish, due to a fairly steep grind.

ActuGaming
An interesting re-reading of Frank Herbert's work...
The exciting class system...
The exhilarating social and political dimension
Graphically amazing and striking
An incredible freedom of exploration
A satisfying and complete construction aspect
Survival is as challenging as it is rewarding.
Water and heat management
The different missions for each House
A faithful artistic atmosphere
Various events that bring tension to the gameplay
Gargantuan lifespan
A not unpleasant MMO dimension
... to the detriment of a narrative that struggles to take off
... in the form of redundant artificial grind, like its gameplay loop
Quite a few collision bugs and crashes
An optimization that must do better
A not very diversified bestiary
Major shortcomings in an endgame that feels empty
The climbing system is complicated.
The battles of another age and not necessarily well balanced.

Total immersion in Arrakis faithful to the books and films.

TestingBuddies
Dense atmosphere with atmospheric world and day/night changes.
High-quality sequences and dialogues with response options ensure narrative elements.
Beautiful graphics and atmospheric soundtrack create the perfect setting.
Solid creation system in the style of Conan
Successful battles with a good combination of close combat, ranged combat, and class skills.
Hydration and sun protection as central distinctive features
Very free movement through the vast game world
Feeling of dune with a science fiction game and a ruthless desert fully convinces.
The sandworms and the storms are extremely impressive.
Playable very well on the Steam Deck
Servers very busy
Often so crowded that one can't even get in line.
Occasional crashes and stutters on the Steam Deck
Graphic on the mobile terminal often pixelated in motion.
