    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

    Vraiment une histoire des plus simple mais en même réel, mais c'est clairement un outil de création avant un jeux, l'imaginaire n'est presque plus de limite.
    Perso mon coter créations refait surface à écrit ce jeux innovateur.

    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

    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?

    Such a diverse tool for expressing ones ideas.

Thanks to the closed beta a robust catalogue of player made assets, animations, characters, music pieces, instruments, and contraptions are ready from the get go to start experimenting with.

    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

    Dreams is not your typical game. It's a window into the world of creativity and once you've peered into it you will be put under a spell that can be near impossible to break. The game is split in two halves. Dream surfing & Dream shaping, playing and creating respectively.

    My review is based on the Dream surfing, (playing)of user generated content. It's here that you will find music videos, platformer games, amazing sculptures of insects, recreations of older PlayStation games, recreations of current PlayStation games, recreations of upcoming PlayStation games and much much more besides. 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. A truly amazing experience. Thank you Media Molecule.    … Expand

    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

    Dreams is a creative achievement, with it’s ability to be charm full and allow players to make there own levels, games, music and so on. Unfortunately the only problem is making those creative games and levels, its very frustrating and hard even annoying at times, only people with patience and skill will achieve such things.

There is a story mode made by the developers showing the power of dreams which is amazing, the story mode it self is actually very impressive and so much fun it’s perfect. Dreams is a simple concept build and share or play and share, it has so much charm put into it and so much love I just wish if the building mechanic was more welcoming to newcomers.

    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

If you're something in between and you want ocassionaly check what are new, unique lindielike games than you'll safely get 8-9/10 from Dreams

    Hard to put number on this "game" its more creation engine then game it self. But it can give you many hours of creation your own game or playing other people games. I would tell take it on sale and have fun with it :)

    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.
