Dune Awakening receives mixed reviews on console
Dune Awakening has launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, offering a survival experience on Arrakis. Retro Gamer described the game as visually impressive, excelling in atmosphere and capturing the essence of the Dune universe, with graphical fidelity and a 60fps option on PS5. However, the outlet noted that its core survival mechanics, combat, and user interface remain unpolished, particularly on consoles, with the PS5 version suffering from cumbersome UI and controls.
The Xbox Hub offered a more positive assessment, calling Dune: Awakening a compelling survival experience that blends challenging mechanics with impressive visuals and sound design. While acknowledging combat as a weaker point, The Xbox Hub highlighted the game's building, survival elements, and lore as standout features, comparing it to No Man's Sky. The Xbox Hub also confirmed the game's availability on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
