Dune Awakening had sooo much potential but they could not make simple changes to make the game 10 times better and that resulted in a player exodus once the story completes.
First person mode
pvp arena or matchmaking not involving deep desert
I didn’t mind the game being difficult, but there were so many bugs and unexplained mechanics that could wipe out large amounts of progress unexpectedly. It was disappointing.
Or getting kicked out of the game while flying a copter over the Deep Desert, and logging back in to find myself in quicksand and the copter stuck inside a cliff. Great times!
The way the game treats players time as something you can just throw in a dumpster was really… a choice that was made. I really wonder if the higher ups actually played the end game at all, it was miserable.
I read some reviews and one of the downsides I read was that people would lose progress with their “bases” if they weren’t logging in every X amount of hours. Also heard it was full of micro transactions, gacha style game.

Who doesn’t love losing a bike to quicksand that had 0 explanation?!

Your base and vehicles disintegrate slowly with exposure to the elements. I never saw any gacha mechanics, though.
Also you’ve got essentially a month before the degredation begins, and another month before it destroys anything
So another live service thing biting the dust? Paint me surprised.
