    Absolutely amazing how in depth the creations can be. Don't let the review bombs scare you away. It's a lot to soak in at first, but they ease you into it with plenty of tutorials. One of this year's must-buys.

    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.

    This game is wonderful, you can create anything, there are tutorials for those who do not know how to use the tools of the game. The games created by users are very entertaining and creative.

    Great game that will give me a new experience every time i put it on. It is hard for me at the moment to play video games because of the missing time. But with dreams I can enjoy whole new genres within 15 minutes. Can’t wait to see what people will create.

    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!

    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.

    Here are some tips I have for the new players:

    - Do some tutorials first before playing ‘dreams’ (the games inside the game itself) That will show you how much work is behind one single scene.
    -Play art’s dream first ( it’s around 3h, you can pause between)
    -If you want to create. Take your time! You won’t make a dream right away, but dreams offer a lot of tutorials that teach you the basics, so it’s not that hard as it seems.    … Expand

    The only game maker that I've used that has all the tools built in for completely making a game, and it's all on a console. It's allowed me to make the game I've always wanted to.

    Perfect in every single way, I have a kid and I was worried I wouldn't be able to spend enough time on this, but the tutorial and the way it eases you around whether your playing other peoples dreams or creating your own, you can spend as little or as much time as you want!

    A game with literally infinite possibilities, from Mario to P.T. remakes, to full on hyper-realistic RPGs (Most are a WIP so far*, but they're coming!), there's no such thing as boring in Dreams.

    Dreams is the best creative game I've ever played! The story (Art's Dream) is fun, interesting, and emotional. The levels on Dreams is are fun and wacky. The creative tools are fun to work with but a little buggy at times but these inconsistencies don't ruin the game. Amazing PS4 exclusive.

    This game is amazing! The story mode is such a nice experience. Sure it’s only 3 hours but with the game as a whole you can for sure get THOUSANDS of hours, maybe even more

    This game is absolutely amazing. Even if you don't want to create, playing others creations is extremely fun still. It's pretty miraculous that media molecule was able to put so much into this game.

    Dreams is a must play, its a wonderful game that allowed you to do whatever you want. You are basically a benevolent god, creating whatever you want, then sharing it for all to use. Its the perfect game with a plethora of content and a wondrous community who will help and support you. 10/10 would recommend.

    This ADVENTURE I am going to call it is nothing short of amazing. I'm giving a 9 because I am not too great with using all the tools yet, but the tutorial videos they made in this are great! This is like YouTube for games and creations. I go down the "YouTube wormhole" and lose myself and then 2 hours pass without ever
    realizing it. After one thing you click on there is another, and    This ADVENTURE I am going to call it is nothing short of amazing.

    10/10 easily. You can literally make anything. I'm being serious! This game blows me away with how much incredible you can do with it! The first, and probably only, game creation engine I'll ever use. It's that good. Please, I'm begging you, play this game! And with the upcoming psvr support, we will have literally endless content for the ps4! If I could, I would give this an 11/10. Mind-blown.

    The way this game can water your imagination is astonishing. Truly makes me feel like a kid again when I used to imagine characters and worlds on pieces of paper. A must buy for anybody who enjoys the thought of being creative even if you don't believe you are! Just enjoy others creations if you're scared to create yourself. Truly a masterpiece.

Even if you aren't creative there are 100's of games to play not just the one example one. A number that is constantly growing. Yes, some aren't that exciting, but there are some really amazing examples of creativity and I can only imagine it will grow as the community grows and understands the tools more.… 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.
