Not a bad start: in its first day of limited access, Dune: Awakening attracted almost 100,000 concurrent players and received positive reviews
The release of the ambitious survival simulator Dune: Awakening will take place on the 10th of June, but buyers of the premium edition have already got access to the game and started to share their first impressions.
Here's What We Know
On its first day, the multiplayer game aroused great interest and at the time of writing the material collected more than 93 thousand simultaneous players, and its rating was 84% positive feedback.
Gamers praise the novelty from Funcom studio for its graphics, interesting gameplay, excellent music, careful attitude to Frank Herbert's novels and Denis Villeneuve's films, absence of many artificial restrictions, atmospheric recreation of life on Arrakis and great variability in character development.
Surprisingly, with a game with a complex server architecture and the interaction of many players, only a few users have technical problems - the majority of users have everything working perfectly, which is rare for such projects at the start.
Of course, there are some crashes, freezes, and sometimes the created characters disappear, but all these problems are typical for multiplayer games and will be eliminated by the developers in the nearest patches.
Many people note that Dune: Awakening is similar to Conan Exiles in terms of gameplay and style, but whether it is good or bad depends on personal attitude to the previous Funcom game.
