When it comes to the giant sandworms shown in the Dune Awakening trailer , players won't be able to tackle them head-on. Instead, surviving the worms is much more based around avoiding them entirely through things like where players place their base.

The best part of researching and fabricating water carriers is that they can prevent you from having to drink blood if you're running low on water. While drinking unpurified blood can save your life in a dire situation, you'll take a hit to your health in this way, so having a water carrier on your person can be a huge boon.

Ultimately, this Dune game wasn't very well executed, particularly because of its awkward controls, ridiculous camera angles, and lackluster graphics. The character models and animations were considered stiff and odd, ruining immersion for most players. Additionally, the voice acting was not done by the original cast from the show, which didn't go over well with their core audience.
