What players say

71% of 78,865 reviews are positive · 75% of 711 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise Arrakis's atmosphere, exploration, base building, survival progression, and the early and midgame story. The most common complaints target a weak endgame, high-tier resource grinding, and time gates. Older reviews also object to forced PvP and base upkeep, while newer reviews say single-player has been added and PvP is being separated from PvE.
