    The main campaign of Dreams "Art's Dream" is a beautiful long movie length game and example of what this powerful engine is capable of. It's honestly so good, I don't know how many hours I've wasted just mucking around in the creator or Dreamiverse.    … Expand

    Despite a steep learning curve, this is a platform for those who love indie games and love to make indie games - that will only get better as time goes by!

    It’s really hard to fault anything in this extraordinary creation tool. Once you get the hang of the controls, and learn what it can do, it really feels like a leap to the next level. And I get the feeling this is just the beginning...

    I have been on Dreams Early Acces since day one. And everyday i am amazed by people their creations. (Levels, animations, characters,...) Media Molecule did such a amazing job, Dreams is a big win for every Playstation gamer. With that said, Dreams should get pre-installed on every PS5!

    Ever since middle school (my PS2/GameCube days) I've wanted something like this in a game format. Back then, I really had an itch to create things; especially the possibility of having my own game some day. This gives the potential to do just that, and I love it.

Back then, I really had an itch to create things; especially the possibility of having my own game some day. This gives the potential to do just that, and I love it.

    As soon as I heard about the concept of this coming out, I was hooked. LBP was awesome, but had its limits, and this delivers in every aspect that I thought was missing from that. It's hard to call this a game. It's more of a creational studio in the form of a game that is only limited by your imagination. You can create so many things that you want to in a media format, it never ceases to amaze me.

    Playing through the beta was an awesome experience, and I found that music and character design were my favorite things to do. Now that the game is on its full release with new features that the beta didn't have, I'm even more hyped up about it. While there are certain things that are a challenge to get through (like the thermometer for each creation), there are plenty of workarounds for them. It's awesome to be able to link things together in creative/clever ways so that you have the ability to create full games/movies and whatever else you want to.

    It's crazy to have the option to create whatever you want in full detail, or just to play through other's creations. If you don't feel like creating everything from scratch, you can use things that other people have put out there, edit them however you want, and add them to your creations. And those things are only going to grow as time goes on.

    I also love the sense of community that has been brought up through the way that this has been marketed during the beta stages. The team at Media Molecule deserves all of the praise that they get for creating this masterpiece of a "game." I can only imagine what will come about through this as time goes on. I think we'll definitely see people springing up careers out of this, and potentially even individuals having their own full media formats to market outside of the game that were made IN it!

    Kudos to Mm, their entire team, and all of the current and future creators that this game has and will bring up! I'm already in awe of it, and the game just got fully released to the world today. It's safe to say that this game will keep me in amazement throughout its lifespan, which I am completely looking forward to!    … Expand

    Mixed:
    ~ You need to watch / play a lot of tutorials if you want to create stuff, but most of them can be quite fun.
    ~ Controls need time to get used to
    ~ It will take some time until we get more stuff like "Art's Dream" qualitywise

    Negatives:

    The creation tools in dreams blew me away and they made learning their engine addictively fun. There are several games available that are really well made already and I can’t wait to see what this community produces as more people become comfortable with the engine. Add in VR and online multiplayer support and this will be a must have!

    I have been following Media Molecule since 2007 when they made LBP and I was astounded by the ambition of that game back then. Come 2013 I saw their tech demo and I was worried about what they were about to embark on. They were essentially proposing LBP in 3D with a full sculpting tool and rigging/animation suite. Fast forward 7 years and it has finally released and I gotta tell you.

Fast forward 7 years and it has finally released and I gotta tell you. This without a doubt lives up to the hype many times over. Just seeing where the community was back in the beta, to where they are now. I simply cannot imagine what they will accomplish in just 6 months more or 12 months more. This is the quintessential definition of "it gets better over time". Not only because the creators are getting better but also because Media Molecule will keep updating the game. Next up is VR which will revolutionize VR game creation, and after that there is Online Multiplayer which, like LBP, will give everyone the tools necessary to make their Star Trek, Online VR dreams come true (no pun intended). With the PS5 coming out at the end of this year I can only hope that they will take proper advantage of its capabilities in an update and maybe even bundle the game in with as many PS5 consoles as possible.… Expand

    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.

    On one hand, Dreams is a bottomless bag filled with toys, vignettes, and indie games. On the other, Dreams is a must-own for anyone who's ever been curious about game design.
