    Over 3 decades loving videogames, and i never played anything as addictive and constructive as Dreams. From the deep yet fun to use tools, and the super polished social network features (play, review, share, etc), to the unique campaign, the infinite amount of user content, etc, Dreams is the ultimate piece of software!

    The game is a great tool for the people want to make their games, worlds or art.
    The tutorial is also very helpful, the short campaign is good and also teaches you about the game alot.

I really hope this game does well so the developers support it for years and add more and more functions/options. And i hope on ps5 they also add more realistic graphics options as well like unreal engine. I would love to make a highly detailed realistic looking game or scene for that matter.    … Expand

    You can create anything, play anything, imagine anything. This is a tool disguised as a game. Simple enough to use as so people without art/programming experience can create their own games, and as an aspiring game developer this is all I could have asked for.

    Trailers dont show how boring this is? Make an entertaining game then. Game is not interesting? Do one that is. The opportunities are all there with this gem. Complaining is for lazy and uninspired people, please dont disturb this amazing community!
    Also, how is a $40 game with endless games inside uninteresting?

    The most inspiring collection of diverse tools I’ve ever seen, somehow pulled together into a cohesive whole that bursts with joy. Joy and power, spun into a tumbling cyclone that touches every corner of the world of imagination.

    This piece of software game-ifies the tedious game creation process. It's a lot of fun to create in it. That being said, there's a bit of a learning curve for the tools, and it requires time and patience. But once you get the hang of it, Dreams can be a very productive outlet for you to make things you didn't think were capable of.

    Dreams allows you to create almost anything you want if you want create music, art, animation or games you can. The amount of stuff you can create is unlimited.

    From a creator's perspective, this software is amazing! It is so easy to sculpt, make audio and code visually. The tools themselves have a personality and it never gets boring to create in it. The Dualshocks take some time to get used to for sculpting, but when it does it is worth the time put into it!

    I've lost hours just creating and it has been a very therapeutic experience creating in Dreams.
    The community is absolutely amazing and helpful and there's no toxicity in there.
    There are many amazing levels in Dreams already created by the community, but there are also some troll trash levels in there, but that is expected for any social media like platforms. I see Dreams as a sort of YouTube like platform where 99% you wouldn't like, but there is that 1% of games or creators which resonate with you and share the same sense of humour. You can see that each level was handcrafted and a lot of passion was put into it. From purely a player's perspective, I guess we'll have to wait for more time before we see full experiences and not just short tech demos. But when it eventually releases, Dreams will be an exciting place to be.
    It's an amazing experience and inspires creativity in all of us.    … Expand

    I've been playing Dreams since it reached Early Access last year. This "game" (it's more of a game building engine than a game) is incredibly intuitive and challenges your creativity. Want to build a racing game? go for it! first person shooter? why not! want to build a space exploration game? the sky is not the limit, the limit is your imagination.

    but that's not all, because people are making their own creations, you don't need to make anything. if you want to play then you can do that too.

    Remember, just because you've never used a game development tool before doesn't mean you can't learn. this game has a steep learning curve but once you understand how logic works, how sculpting works, how painting works, how audio editing works, you'll fall in love just like i did.    … Expand

    Alright, I played the EA quite some time and the full release now and all I can say is Dreams is the most wonderful piece of software ever created. Please buy and support this game! Whoever reviewbombs this game: Your life is completely out of control. Seriously. So I suspect it to be Nintendo fanboys, of course.

    Absolutely underrated! Honestly, dreams feels like the most important Game in this still very young decade. I hope, that it's going to be supported for a long time, so it can have a big impact on the gaming as a medium for art and overall for the whole industry.
    GO GET IT. There is just no argument, why anyone wouldn't enjoy this Masterpiece of creativity.

    Dreams is an absolute MUST buy. Period. I've been a player since it first released for beta players and then I got it as an Early Access. I am insanely in love with this game.

    Interesting tool, and some very good creations. But as games, most creations are boring or uninspiring. There are definitely some great ones mixed in though.

    More of a "game" for hobbyist developers rather than gamers

    The creation aspect is really accesible, but it's really deep as well, the victory of Dreams is make people, like me, who don't usually create to try out new and risky stuff, there is a sence of sharing with any asset in the game avilable to you and tje campaign while short showcases only the begining of what Dreams can be.

    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.
