Deluxe
8/10, great for a survival game. Few things but nothing crazy.
8/10, played beta and enjoyed it a lot. I never rate games higher than this. Unless its Deuteros maybe!
10/10, the worm sound alone is amazing.
8/10, good feeling.
Price is directly cheap.
14 days and 2 hours to go at this time ;)

Dune: Awakening Ultimate Edition
10/10 graphics, Ultra everything
8/10 gameplay, no hangups or glitchs for my trooper, but saw stream vids of a mentats turret plate stuck to the players hand and two others who were sitting 2 meters ahead of their sandbikes. Hilarious.
10/10 sound and audio design Full home theater effects with no problems
10/10 atmosphere and emotional impact. Between the hydration stress, Worms, Storms, and Saudekar hunters, constantly running around until you reach and understanding of what is required and survival becomes much easier, but advancement becomes more difficult as the AI scales up.
10/10 game price. Dropping $80 on a game is like skipping Starbucks for a week. No problems
10/10 overall opinion The game is beautiful and scary at the same time. This is my first experience of AI npc's that get smarter, more powerful, and more deadly. There is a definite scaling of abilities and I look forward to playing more.

3:) 7/10 nothing special. nothing new but i did enjoy my time with it.

4:) 10/10 for what it was they nailed it. no clue about music as thats the 1st time i turn off in every game right next to motion blur and ground snake

5:) 10/10 nothing like hanging a left and watching the sand worm pass me to eat my buddy i was following as everyone in discord(they was all watching me stream it) yelled BYE TYLER at the same time LMFAO

6 & 7:) 5/10 $90 canadian for deluxe is insane but what else do i have to play atm :( was tempted to go back to WoW out of boredom then discovered this game the day before last beta. if i didnt get to try the beta i would have just resubbed to WoW and wait for sale but after i played the beta i was like ya i had fun so i might as well get it

2. How would you rate the graphics in the game?
8/10
Your thoughts (optional): They're not cutting edge - but still look pretty good.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3. How would you rate the gameplay at this point?
8/10
Your thoughts (optional): Everything I experienced was on par with most survival games I've played and I enjoyed my time. Nothing truly groundbreaking or unusual - although the Dune-themed gameplay like Holtzman shields was pretty neat.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
4. How would you rate the sound and audio design?
8/10
Your thoughts (optional): The sound was fantastic. The creaking and groaning of the sandworm, the storms, the rev of vehicle engines, shields being penetrated - yeah, I dig it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
5. How would you rate the overall atmosphere and emotional impact (based on your beta experience)?
8/10
Your thoughts (optional): Overll, it felt like Dune - and that is what matters =)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
6. What do you think about the game’s price?
Is it justified or not?
NA/10
Your thoughts (optional): Don't care about the price to be honest. I'm an adult, I work for my money and I spend it however I like.

1. Dune: Awakening Deluxe Edition

2. How would you rate the graphics in the game?
7/10
Nothing ground breaking but the desert graphics I think were pretty fantastic. They captured the planet well.

3. How would you rate the game play at this point?
7/10
I like the story line and the combat and collection mechanics wasn't to brutal.

4. How would you rate the sound and audio design?
8/10
I think that it worked really well with the video design and aided in the immersion.

5. How would you rate the overall atmosphere and emotional impact (based on your beta experience)?
8/10
It really sucked me in and kept me wanting to come back. Good job devs.

6. What do you think about the game’s price?
Is it justified or not?
7/10
I think it is a little on the pricey side to be honest. I always look at the price of something as me contributing to the thing being in the world. I think the devs did a good job. The big question is, will there be enough content and how will they be able to run an MMORPG without a monthly subscription?

7. Overall opinion and final thoughts:
I think they did a good job and well worth my time in playing it.

If I said which version I bought, I'd lose my advantage. I will use my advantage to win, so no chance!

I get it — you want to keep the mystery 😊 But the point of this thread isn’t really about “winning” or “losing” anything. It’s more about gathering opinions: which edition people chose, what they like about the game, how they rate the graphics, sound, and overall experience. It’s not a competition — just a way to understand what the community expects and whether the price feels fair. Feel free to share if you want — no pressure 🙌

I was kidding. I bought the Ultimate for my main (this) account and the Deluxe for me secondary account.

Someone has told there friends, family and significant others that they will be dying on June the 4th and anything they want to say of do with them should be done before that date.

If this sietch is a-rockin', then Shai-Hulud is coming—and you'd best run like hell.
