Dual Universe review - A clunky but open voxel MMORPG

sportskeeda.com:

Dual Universe is a really fascinating concept in MMOs. Instead of having a variety of servers, there’s one vast universe where all players come together and play in one shared sandbox. It’s also a Voxel MMO, in the shade of something like Trove, but unlike that particular MMO, you can build anything from a house to a space station.

Frankly, I respect what this MMO is doing, and it’s a very interesting idea. However, it does kind of fall flat for me in several places. Whether it’s the lack of NPCs, the world feeling ‌empty, and feeling unoptimized, there are some hurdles to overcome.

I can see where people can find a lot of fun in it. The voxel building system is unique and pretty detailed. The possibilities are endless in Dual Universe.

Back in 2016, Dual Universe was revealed by Novaquark’s then-CEO in the pre-alpha state. It is supposed to be a one-shard universe, a voxel MMO where players can do whatever they want. They can PVP, they can build spaceships, travel to other planets, and own plots of land where they can build homes, become titans of industry, and much more.

It’s not a game where you can immediately begin succeeding. It’s a game in which you have to invest time and patience. There are players already doing amazing things in the game, and it’s really awe-inspiring to see. The downside is that there is no actual story. It’s an open world, where you make your own story.

That would be much easier if you had NPCs, or even robots to interact with, but you don’t. You can only interact with other players. Otherwise, these worlds are barren. Dual Universe can certainly feel empty, but it’s clear that it doesn’t bother everyone.

One thing I appreciate about that is you can be whatever you want to be in Dual Universe. If
