    There's a decent space sim buried within Dual Universe, but you'll need to do a lot of digging to find it.

    I really wanted to enjoy Dual Universe, and at first I was. I truly did enjoy the grind early on, until I realized that, for the most part, the grind was all there was. The ambitious systems that define Dual Universe also doom it, and as a result there just isn’t much to do aside from harvest, sell and rinse and repeat, even if you add layer and layer of industrial complexity to the loop. While player ingenuity and artistry will make some of these systems more and more interesting, especially with LUA scripting and more, for me, it just doesn’t make for a compelling experience I can recommend.

    The voxel creations and freedom that Dual Universe offers are pretty impressive. It’s a concept with a lot of potential. However, the failed execution and many bugs leave this game dead on arrival with honestly no reason to play unless it ever receives a resurgence in players and a massive gameplay overhaul.

    DU is a really puzzling game and has a puzzling development story. It feels barebones; like its direction was stripped away and is nowDU is a really puzzling game and has a puzzling development story. It feels barebones; like its direction was stripped away and is now floating about with no clear direction.

    It feels like a survival game with no survival elements. It runs on a subscription to play. Unoptimised, and ship destruction just sucks. There is no god gameplay loop. Not even AI or NPCs of any form, not even like how Space Engineers handles Pirates.
