    Dreams is an incredible creativity tool, it has undoubtedly marked a new milestone in terms of content creation from the comfort of your console. It has a series of easily understandable but long-lasting tutorials. This is an experience that requires patience and time, but ends up satisfying any player. Excellent!

    Believe the hype, Dreams is the most incredible and amazing media creation application ever released. No wonder it took over five years to develop.

    Such a diverse tool for expressing ones ideas. Though creating something may seem daunting at first, Media Molecule made sure to set up even the most beginner musicians, artists and tinkerers the resources they need to succeed and find thier passion.

    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

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.

    Kupiłem i się zdziwiłem jak rozbudowany jest DREAMS. Świetnie zrobione tutoriale, które wprowadzają nas w świat marzeń. Fajnie by było jakby zrobili obsługę myszki, bo klawiaturę obsługuje, ale nawet na padzie nie jest źle, tylko trzeba się troszkę przyzwyczaić. Dla mnie zasłużona maksymalna ocena, to program dla ludzi z wyobraźnią ;)

I was in "awe" by the creativity, imagination, and the polish of a lot of the content I was witnessing.

I would have happily paid $60 for DREAMS!… Expand

    Dreams can be described as a lot of things. An artist’s canvas, a musicians studio, a gamer’s paradise, and a developers dream. Dreams manages to set itself apart from the other creation games by giving you superb tools to create practically anything, and the ability to explore the Dreams of others. Think of Gamejam, except infinitely better. However, don’t take my word for it, and try theDreams can be described as a lot of things. An artist’s canvas, a musicians studio, a gamer’s paradise, and a developers dream. Dreams manages to set itself apart from the other creation games by giving you superb tools to create practically anything, and the ability to explore the Dreams of others. Think of Gamejam, except infinitely better. However, don’t take my word for it, and try the game for yourself!

    Dreams’ story mode is called Art’s Dream, which tells the tale of double bass player Art, who had left his band due to personal issues, now fighting his demons in, you guessed it, a dream. While the story is much more mature than any other game they’ve made, its certainly not dark, with the implementation of protagonists being childhood toys, musical theatre, and multiple humorous parts here and there. The well thought out level design and the ever-changing genres of Art’s Dream makes the 2-3 hour story fly by. Its not short to a fault, as its only a demo to what Dreams is capable of, encouraging you to create your own story mode.

    The biggest part about what makes Dreams so revolutionary is its creation system. The tools you are provided surpasses any other creation games potential by a large margin. Thanks to this, you are capable of creating practically anything you can think of, as long as you know how to do it. Want to make a first person shooter? Cool. Want to create a musical performance? No problem. Want to create something absolutely bizarre? Go ahead! It is true that this game can be overwhelming in the amount of tools and potential at your fingertips. I have often been blinded by my own ambition to only lead myself into staring at an empty canvas for 5 minutes straight, not knowing where to start. However, the reason for this was because I was too ambitious with my projects. Once I slowly built my ambitions up from something smaller, I felt unstoppable. While this likely won’t happen for everyone, this is something to keep in mind. Thankfully, Media Molecules carefully created tutorials helps newcomers ease into the creation suite, as their pace remains constantly steady, and are a joy to go through. If you need help from friends, or even strangers, you can add them as collaborators to help you out in building your Dreams. This means that it is possible to create your own little game studio in Dreams, or you can borrow the assets created by other dreamers to use in your own, which gives off a spectacular feel of community within Dreams.

    If you feel too overwhelmed by creating or if you simply don’t wish to do that, don’t worry, as there is dream surfing, which is essentially the YouTube of video games. You can explore the dreams of others with a single press of a button, whether that be visual spectacles, musical pieces, gaming demos, or even full gaming experiences. Don’t know what to try out first? Try the auto-surfing feature, as it will randomly select dreams for you to try out, and keeps selecting them for you until you quit out of it. The user interface is very slick and user-friendly, allowing you to comment on other peoples creations, whether that be a discussion, feedback, bug reports, or reviews, you can view what other assets people used to make their masterpiece, and you can even view the previous versions of the creation if that interests you. Dream-surfing is an experience that you truly have to try for yourself in order to understand.

    All-in-all, Dreams revolutionizes the “Play, Create, Share” concept by expanding it to a degree no game has ever went. Thanks to easy-to-grasp tutorials, a MASSIVE creation suite, a genuinely interesting story mode, and lots of content to see created by the community, Media Molecule has essentially given us a game engine to let us flex our creativity to make experiences of our own. Dreams is a game that could keep you hooked for hours at a time, like a social media, and is an experience that you should not miss.    … 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.
