If there's one thing I'm bad at in both my real life and videogames, it's staying hydrated. While water is, indeed, the font of life, it's also my arch nemesis despite how many tracker bottles I buy. In survival games, I'm equally as bad at remembering to hydrate, oftentimes scrabbling to find the nearest puddle to quench that seemingly never-ending thirst. It's one of my least favorite mechanics to manage - especially because it doesn't feel like anyone's really innovated upon it in recent years. Enter Dune Awakening - the first survival game that makes drinking water exciting.
