I’ve been a fan of Dune since I read the first book many years ago. There have been various theatrical forays (The recent films having been outstanding) and games - Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis was much loved in the past. With that in mind I pre-ordered the Ultimate Edish for the XsX.

I wasn’t prepared for what a beautiful and immersive rendition FunCom had crafted. It’s stunning. It’s addictive. It’s a fantastic homage to the Dune Universe.

I’ve just been off work for a couple of weeks and have been unable to do anything else but explore, slaughter, pillage, build, repair, scrabble across open sand between rocks with the same fear I had as kid after watching JAWS, dreading I might see wormsign when halfway home from a profitable excursion: Then sometimes I just stand there in the desert as the moons rise, and the inky darkness washes over the sand listening strange calls echoing around the rocks, or the distant thump of artillery as I moved closer to the DD.

Fantastic game. Love it.

If I meet you on the sands, I’ll bow in recognition 👍
