    Dreams is a fantastic creation tool absolutely in a league of its own. Fans of a AAA single player blockbuster however might not find it to their taste.

    Would recommend everyone at least gives it a try though and it is a very unique experience.

    A revolutionary game. Im a big fan of media molecules previous littlebigplanet games and have sunk countless hours in the level creator. Well now Dreams is out and it is 10 times better! Might be hard to get hang of the tools but even if you don't create, there is practically endless content to play here!

    This game is amazing. I went into it only wanting to try out some stages for the memes but ended up finding a lot of really fun games and getting sucked into creating levels too. The tutorials for the creation tools are intuitive and enjoyable in themselves. I would recommend this game to anyone.

    Awesome game full of possibilities. The limits are your own imagination. But hold up! You don't have to create anything. You can just play or experience what other Dreamers created. Full recommendation. Don't mind the bad reviews here. Most of them are trolls.

    Absolutely the most original and interesting game to be made in years. What Mm have done is amazing. They have our creativity and control in the player, to literally do whatever they can think up! They allowed the player to be a kid, and just “dream”! Incredible game. Needs more recognition, they have changed the face of game design!

And playing the user generated content just constantly left me dumbfounded from the sheer possibilities of what Dreams is capable of handling. That alongside with the incredibly positive community that encourages anyone to keep trying until you yourself can be surprised by what you've made in this brilliant game. There's an absolute wealth of things to play from the community, which will leave you entertained for what seems like forever. There's something here for everybody and I think Media Molecule has achieved developing something truly special, leaving me an experience that you truly cant find anywhere else. I never really kept in mind what kind of game could ever simulate what a 10/10 experience would be like, but I finally feel fortunate enough witness this kind of magic. Dreams is truly a one of a kind experience and I genuinely urge you all to go and play it!… Expand

    Absolutely fantastic. Whether you like creating games, art, music, or anything in between, the tools are well designed and polished. Or if you’re just looking for some fun games and experiences, there are literally thousands of amazing creations to keep you entertained for weeks. Highly recommend for creators and players alike. Media Molecule has really made something special.

    If there were ever a game that was made for those wanting to make anything they want, this is it boys!
    Crest music! Create Games! Create paintings! Sculpt whatever you want! This game is breaking the rules of what is considered a video game and going beyond that. The game is what you make of it.

A true, next generation of Play, Create and Share. Dreams continues to prove that Media Molecule is still pioneering the type of genre really well. While Dreams offers somewhat of a different take on creation game compared to their previous games such as LittleBigPlanet 1 and 2 and their iconic Sackboy being replaced by Imp, you cannot deny that the create mode, or DreamShaping mode as it's stated in Dreams has been massively improved and quadrupled the possibilities of what you can create. Dreams allows you to sculpture anything you want, compose any music you want, make movies, games. You name it, you can dream it. Because of ingeniously developed engine specifically for this game loading times are blazingly fast and almost seemless between scenes putting LBP2 and especially LBP3 to shame.

    While yes, the story mode in this game is pretty short, lasting for about 2-3 hours, the Art's Dream is beautifully hand crafted with very good writing and fun songs in between playable sections of the game and it generally shows just how much Dreams is capable with its tools. In the end, story modes in the previous Mm games were always about showing the possibilities of the game creation tools and Dreams is no different.

    There's plenty of criticism regarding Dreams not even having a promised a VR support on day one, some people are even put off hearing that Dreams still doesn't have online multiplayer, which was a literal game changer for LBP. While, yes, justifiable arguments, you have to take into consideration that this is a brand new IP and it took 7 years straight just to get the incredible creation tools to work the way they do now.

    Another misconception about the game is that it's strictly for the creators only, which is also not true, because you can have equally as much fun by playing countless of other creations made by other people which are going to get better quality over time. Add the VR support and online multiplayer on top of it, and you will get a complete package for many years to come that's gonna be a major part of Dreams and it's community as a whole.    … Expand

    Dreams is a very good creative game with a sprawling community full of new games to play, and if you love to create stuff this will be the place for you, but don't expect a long campaign because it's not very story focused and if you don't have the creative spirit yiu probably won't like it

    The game has a lot of promise but, unfortunately, the audience just wasn't there. However, just playing the story missions is good reason enough to give it a try.

    You can make sonic, or mario, or actually be creative and make a minecraft pig.
    i made the pig.

    Nintendo stepped into this game fast and shut down a ton of people.
    But beyond that, its fun, if you like clay, and making things. its just very limited
    the file size has way too many limits and restrictions
    you cannot get too wild, because of that. but otherwise its a masterpiece.

    I first saw dreams when it was still on the beta version and I couldn't believe what I saw, a basically infinite game with user made content, it was stunning i can't even describe it.
    I didn't even get started on Art's Dream, the main story made entirely with dreams and it's even better than some triple A games, with all that said dreams is really worth checking out if you haven't already.

    Dreams’ creative mode might not integrate with PSVR as naturally as hoped, but its cemented position as a hub of invention makes it an easy recommendation. Paired with the platform’s inherent comfort issues, its sprawling, untamed ecosystem can prove to be a minefield to navigate, but for every unwelcome rollercoaster ride (literally and figuratively), there’s another wish waiting to be fulfilled or something genuinely original to discover. The only way to truly judge Dreams is by the strength of its creations and those already speak for themselves; if you want to embrace VR’s experimental side, you shouldn’t miss it.
