    Not just game that allows you to play others creations but also a whole too set to create really anything on your PS4. You can create music, sculptures, paintings, logic systems, characters, instruments, demos, showcases, short movies and of course full games. This is an incredible achievement and I’ve started to become a game developer. Already released two fun games. Yah! I’m hooked.

    It is a really good game. If you don't have any talent to art or design, like me, you can enjoy all the new games that the community developed. I think this game should be installed by default on PlayStation 5

    I’ve been creating dreams and playing others dreams since January 2019 thanks to the beta and early access.

And continues to do so! It takes a little while to get through the tutorials, but afterwards you’ll feel like a game making champ!

    My only worry came when I heard that the Dreams campaign (playable only on release) was rather short. We had seen glimpses of the story for several years, so for myself, it was highly anticipated. Due to being part of the early access I was able to play the story 3 days earlier, and oh man what an inspiring tale! A beautiful story that blends aspects of reality with the power of our imagination, teaching us that although we might grow up, we can always look back to our childhood friends for some help in our darker times. Reminders of what it meant to be creatively unbound. The campaign really shows off what can be done with the games creation tools. And through all I’ve seen in the last year, I was still wondering “how did they do that!” Stand out is Doodle Bug! Really shows you can make highly polished characters that match what ever games populate the store shelves. Amazing game. 10/10    … Expand

    With the Community Jams, creators always have a topic made for them as a jumping off point for thier next masterpiece. The social aspect however is a core piece of the Dreams experience as players can collaborate to make amazing creations together aswell as provide feedback, bugs, and support for eachother. The overall experience for me (as a player since day 1) has been incredibly positive. Everyone has mostly been incredibly well mannered and supportive. Simply put if you have enjoyed painting, sculpting, music production/making, or animation this is such a great buy. The possibility goes on as far as the eye can see. And with VR support on the way, the future is looking great for an incredible new medium to experience art, music and animation in 3d space.    … Expand

If you've ever read a book you liked, watched a film you enjoyed or listened to a song that moved you and you consider yourself a fan of video games, then you owe it to yourself to kick back, enter the Dreamiverse and discover the newest form of media entertainment being created free from the commercial claws of the bloodthirsty bastards that are AAA publishers.

    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

    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.

A lot of unique creations by users, that will keep people who enjoy short 2-3 minute games ( for the most part..there are some exceptions obviously) coming back daily or weekly to check out new games made by the community. I think the diversity of community creations is what's really amazing, from remakes of games, to driving, combat, music, art, scenes, sports, mini-games, the games are endless. It's really like a youtube for games, they weren't lying. The only negatives of this game are hit and miss quality of user created content, which is really not that bad because of the trending and most liked games that are front and center when you surf user generated conent. Who this game is not for is for people expecting 30 minute- 2 hour games made by the community/ or triple a content made by them... its not realistic, so this game is probably not for you. As someone who mainly just plays the game and doesn't create, game is amazing to me.

    Pros:
    Story mode is short, unique, and has a fantastic ending.
    Youtube for short user created games
    Every genre for games imaginable.
    It will only get better as time goes

    So-So:
    Creation tool still feels overwhelming for me.

    Cons:
    Hit or miss ugc.
    short games and mostly demos.

    To end, Kudos to sony for giving the game a shot, it's amazing and even though it won't sell well.. I think the it was worth the investment for the gamers. When you play this game, prepared to be inspired, amazed, laugh, relax, etc. Amazing game.. but not for everyone.    … Expand

    Dreams has limitless potential in its create mode, but also wasted potential as a whole. Lack of multiplayer, which Media Molecule's predecessor LittleBigPlanet had, creates a sort of disconnect for friends who play or create, when this game needs a strong sense of community.

For someone who doesn't have any design, IT or computer skills I found it hard to learn on how to create games. Also, I did not enjoy the games that people create. I'm sure some of them are fun but just not for me. I prefer full games made by professionals not just some short 'indie' type games.

As far as creation goes the game is amazing giving users the ability to realize their own "dreams" into actuality. Though I personally have no interest in creating and bought the game for the same reason I have bought every little big planet game because the user created levels are a blast and so creative. On the other hand, I feel that the user created levels in dreams are a bit lack luster. I feel crappy writing this as I am not a creator and can't even imagine the hours these creators put into their games. I guess more than anything the magic just doesn't feel there especially when compared to LBP. Still that isn't my biggest issue with dreams cause I can only imagine that the creators are only going to get better and better with the create function of the game. My biggest problem with dreams is the game play and visuals. Visually the game is hideous, the characters are blocky, they cloud like state of the world just doesn't really add anything, visually it looks like a free to play mmorpg graphically. and then comes the game play mechanics, the controls just don't work that well, which is kind of saddening considering how fluid everything ran on LBP. One of my biggest issues is the jump functioning its overly sensitive, honest most of the controls are. I guess all in all dreams is a ps4 game that should have come out on the pc, Still i do like that it was only 40 dollars and I did play a few games that were fun. All in all I feel that's its a game that's either for you or not for yo. If you're a creator its amazing but for people just looking to find really awesome created games it can be a challenge to find those games. I'm glad media molecule created such an amazing game for creators, I'm just hoping for their next project they create something that is also fun for just players… Expand

    This is a creative suite for PS4, but it's more or less unplayable because it makes your PS4 fan sound like a really old vacuum cleaner that's so loud that you have to shout to be heard. If the creators (Media Molecule) can't fix this issue very soon I think only the most dedicated fan-base will still be using Dreams a few months from now.

If the creators (Media Molecule) can't fix this issue very soon I think only the most dedicated fan-base will still be using Dreams a few months from now.

    For years before launch, Media Molecule's staff members posted information about Dreams that we now know was completely false.
    They claimed that you could create almost endlessly large levels because of the revolutionary graphics that wouldn't require almost any memory, but instead the "thermometer" that shows how much memory you have left fills up very quickly.
    They claimed that you'd be able to add textures to your materials, when in reality the only available textures are the painterly "flecks" that most users just try to hide as much as possible because nobody likes how they look.
    They claimed that anyone would be able to quickly learn the tools when in reality Dreams is almost as complicated to learn as any other game engine.
    Yet, where is the public outrage? Any other developer would've faced a rage storm over smaller lies.

    But not Media Molecule. Why? Well, you've probably seen the fan-base on social media. They're the ones who post all the ridiculous 10/10 reviews here, despite the many, many flaws in Dreams. They are Media Molecule-worshippers, a sect who pretend that Dreams is this perfect and flawless product despite its many obvious limitations and confusing design choices. Nothing they say or write can ever be trusted.

    One of the absolutely worst things in Dreams is how you vote in the so called "Community Jams" - the competitive side of Dreams where anyone can submit their creations based on themes. Rather than letting you see thumbnails of every submission, to help you quickly ignore all the troll-submissions, you're only given five submissions at a time to vote for, and you can't see any more submissions until you've played every single one of those first five.
    This leads to a voting system that is completely unreliable, because most people just give up voting after having been forced to play dozens of excruciating troll-submissions made only for in-game "imp points". As a result, very few people actually even see the best submissions.

    The so called "imp quest" system is an aspect of Dreams that's already causing many annoying problems. The system rewards you (with in-game points and even PS4 trophies) for completing various quests regardless of how well you do them, which makes thousands of users spam the "dreamiverse" with utter garbage just for the points. In fact, many of the imp quests require that you create a scene and upload it and make it public, which has obviously lead to tens of thousands of awful creations that only make it harder to find good ones.

    The main campaign (story mode), called Art's Dream, is supposed to show off everything that can be done in Dreams, if you have a team of 100 people working on it for many years, and yet it's a sloppy looking 2-hour game about a depressed old dude. Honestly, there is already user generated content that's more impressive in every way. How anyone can be impressed with this campaign is a complete mystery to me.
    The problem with the campaign mode shows the problem with Dreams at large. There are many thousand creations in the dreamiverse, many that small teams of users have worked on for an entire year, since the beta went public in January 2019. And yet there's nothing except some short demos, mini-games and one-level-trials to play. After a year. How many years must Dreams exist before there will be a real game in there? Again, even Media Molecule's own team could only create a 2-hour story with these tools. There's a big gap between what we're told that we can do with these tools and what people actually do with them in real life.

    No, this isn't a 10/10 title by any stretch of the imagination. Most people probably love the idea behind Dreams, the philosophy of its creativity, and confuse it with the actual product.    … Expand

    It could also use graphic tablet support, but it's not an option for a PS4 I guess. I hope they release, at least the Dream Shaping feature of this game on the PC in the future so we can use the peripherals that we're more comfortable with.

    Dream surfing feature is almost perfect though. If you just want to play creations, you won't have many of these issues.

    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.
