    This game is really fun to play, I like the concept! Going through the user generated levels and seeing and playing what other players have created, it is a beautiful community!

    I had this game for a long time now and still don't feel like "playing" it. I really have a problem calling this a game. A game-maker is more like the right word. It's too advanced for a usual gamer and this is not a kids game. BUT i really think that this game is worth supporting.

    Really? This game isn't bad, but it isn't good. Average, i'll say.
    First of all, how this game became top1 on metacritic? What makes it special? I've spent some money on it, and i still didn't get it.
    Meanwhile, some REALLY good games having at least 60-65 score, like Fallout 4, Death Stranding, The Humankind Odyssey and etc.

    Dreams est pas vraiment un bontravail de fusion entre le style et l'action et les mécaniques établies. C'est pas très intense et insatisfaisant, et c'est absolument nul à jouer

    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

    Dreams'i ilk gördüğümde Media Molecule'ün tam olarak ne tarz bir oyun yaptığını anlayamamıştım. 7 sene boyunca geliştirilen oyun en nihayetinde Early Access'i de tamamlayarak çıkışını yaptı.

Çıkış tarihine doğru hakkında bir kaç araştırma yaparak almaya karar verdiğim bu kararından zerre kadar pişman olmadım. Son zamanlar oynadığım en yaratıcı oyunlardan biri olan Dreams bir oyuncuya aklına gelebilecek her konu ile ilgili bir oyun oynamayı sunduğu gibi bir tasarımcıya da kendi rüyasını tasarlaması için tüm imkanı sunuyor. Bu oyunu bir hikayesi yok mu diyenler için şöyle bir özet geçeyim. Tabi ki ana hikayesi var. Hikaye bölümünün ismi ise ; Art'ın Rüyası. Art kendi içersinde bir iç savaş veren bir kahramandır. Hem korkuları ile yüzleşerek hem de herbiri bir yere dağılmış olan jazz grubu tekrardan bir araya getirmeye çalışacaktır. İşte burada biz devreye giriyoruz. Oynarken aşırı keyif aldım diyebilirim. Oyunu nasıl oynayacağınız tamamen size kalmış. İster dünyanın dört bir yanından oyuncular tarafından tasarlanmış oyunları deneyin, onları yorumlayın, onlara geri bildirim gönderin, ister tasarım kısmında bizzat kendiniz yer alın. Müzik tasarımdan, sergilemeye, karakter tasarımından, ışık ve kamera tekniklerine, renklendirmeden animasyon eklemeye sizi bekleyen bir çok tutorial her alacak. İşin keyfi de bu andan itibaren başlıyor zaten. Çünkü Media Molecule bir oyuncuya kendi rüyasını tasarlamak için tüm imkanları bu oyun ile vermiş. Tabiki oyunun olmazsa olmazı iş birliği yapmak. Tek bir kişinin bir bölümü tasarlaması haftalar sürebilir ve oyun size kendi ekibinizi yaratma imkanı sunuyor. Diğer oyuncuların tasarladığı objeleri de kendi bölümünüzü yaratırken kullanabildiğiniz gibi o kişileri aynı zamanda bölümünüzün emeği geçenler kısmına da eklemiş oluyorsunuz onları. Bence kesinlikle bir baş yapıt mutlaka denemenizi tavsiye ederim . PlayStation VR desteği ve online multiplayer özelliği bir sonraki yamalar ile eklenmesi bekleniyor Oyunun geleceği kesinlikle parlak. Oyunla ilgili değil fakat dil desteği ile kabul edilemez üzücü tek bir gerçek var. Oyunun Türkçe dilini desteklemiyor olması. Açıkçası PlayStation Türkiye her yaştan oyuncuyu oyun tasarımına teşvik edebilecek bir ön ayak olabilirdi bu şekilde... Dreams alırsanız mutlaka tasarımlarıma bir göz atın. Ben çoktan bir şeyler tasarlamaya başladım bile. ( resh_aykut )… Expand

Best of all, you can make pieces of things, like music, a background, or a character, and find it in someone else's game. Or you can take the assets that others have made to design your own game. This is like Minecraft if the creation in Minecraft mattered.

    I recommend Dreams for everyone who loves games. If you merely like games, then feel free to keep buying sequels from EA, Activision, and Ubisoft.    … Expand

Releasing a game engine so powerful and allowing anyone to share their creations and give the possibility to make almost anything is something else.
    In this game there are 2 different main modes. “Dreams Shaping” and “Dreams Surfing”.
    In Dreams Shaping you have the possibility to create whatever your mind wants to make. It’s much easier sculpting and doing logic in dreams compared to Unreal Engine 4 or Unity. Dreams removes the scary coding part and simplifies it with special blocks. There are a lot of tutorials in the game that allow you to learn what each thing does and how to use it. It helps a lot with learning and you will be able to make something special at the end of it. The tutorials aren’t borring. They encourage you to do stuff in your own way. Choose your own colours. Make your own strange shapes. Anything is possible in dreams.
    Dreams Surfing is selfexplanitory. You can surf the creations others have made. Play Animations, Games, Showcases and so much more! It’s a blast. You will also find a game called “Arts Dream”. It’s an epic story game made by the creators of Dreams (Media Molecule). They used all the same tools we have access to in Dreams Shaping. I’ll won’t spoil anything. Play the game for yourself to find out what it’s about.

It was a simple demo of a level being designed and various tools being strung in like musical synthesisers, etc. In my head, I saw a glimmer of the impossible, then I sat back and crossed my fingers. What Dreams has achieved is something almost unthinkable. It is an entire creation suite of video game development. Think Unity, Unreal, engines that modern games are made on. It uses the power of the DS4 and the PS4 Pro to create a very intuitive creative experience. I have not, by any stretch, explored it completely. However, I am definitely a believer who is really happy for media molecule and am still gasping at what they have created here. Someone pinch me. For budding game devs like me, this is a Dream come true, pun intended. If you doubt it, go ahead and look at the stuff people are coming up with!… Expand

    Dreams has limitless potential in its create mode, but also wasted potential as a whole.

VR support has no signs of appearing anytime soon when this game would be an absolute seller of it. Not being on PC and Sony's poor marketing means this game will have a smaller playerbase than it could definitely take advantage of. Ultimately, it seems like the type of game for the average player to boot-up for a few minutes, play work-in-progress/tech demos and then come back some time later when some meaty creations actually exist.… Expand

    The worst tool for making games.
    Confusing menus, impossible to understand what you are doing and where is the cursor, the "game" part is boring, very low and unfunny. Above all, Drems lets you make games in MONTHS when Unity is free, fast and incredible fast to learn. Dreams is very bad done.

    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.
