    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!

    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

    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.

    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

But unlike that game, you don't need to be a creative thinker to get the most out of the game. Instead you can play thousands of experiences that are created by others, all from a wide variety of genres.

    The negative reviews complained about the complexity of creating something (which should be expected when it includes essentially an entire video game development software suite and you can literally create ANYTHING), but neglected to admit they may have been better suited to just enjoy the experiences created by other people. Like any artform, the skills necessary to create interactive experiences requires dedication, it is an endeavor that takes far more time to get good at than people might expect. If you find out you don't have the patience, no worries, you have an infinite amount of content to experience as a player.

    One of the best things about Dreams is what's called Dream Surfing. You pick tags of the kind of things you are interested in seeing, click a button, and are instantly transported to an experience. If you don't particularly care for what you are seeing from one experience, just pause and click the next button. Each experience loads in about 1-2 seconds, so you can quickly experience a wide variety of creations.

    Like many fans of the company who made LittleBigPlanet and Tearaway, I bought the game digitally through early access. I hate to see that the game is missing out on hundreds of five star reviews because of this, which may eventually impact its sales for the physical version. Media Molecule had worked on this game for 6 years and incredibly generous with the $40 original price. This game is worth so much more than that, you won't regret buying something that has infinite content.    … Expand

A day or two later, after seeing all the spectacular creations by people from all around the world, I asked my cousin if I could borrow it for a few days to see why this game was getting so much praise.

    When I started trying it out, the controls felt a bit janky. It took me some time to get used to, but after going through the control settings and making a few adjustments, it was all smooth sailing from there.

    I played through the official story. It was short but a very good experience. I played/experienced a bunch of creations from other people. It was a truly remarkable experience. I started making my own stuff, and I JUST COULD NOT STOP. I got completely hooked. I kept on making stuff after stuff. Being able to let your imagination run wild and make whatever you want, and letting other people experience your creation, is truly an amazing and satisfying experience. Not to mention, you can make Stuff/Worlds/Games/Characters ETC ETC with seriously high graphical fidelity(EXTREMELY GOOD VISUALS). You can make ANYTHING YOU WANT!! Your world, your creation, your vision, your "DREAM" (See what I did there hehe). You are only bounded by your creativity. Other than that, you can make whatever you want, from interactive worlds to games to mini-games to 2D painting in a 3D world to 3D paintings... ANYTHING!! I LOVE THIS GAME!!

    I read somewhere that the Devs/Shuhei Yoshida( I don't remember who said it) said that they plan to support this game for the next 10 YEARS. They are also working on Virtual Reality(VR) support. Furthermore, I also read that the Devs plan to bring the DreamsPS4 game to PlayStation 5(PS5). I cannot wait for the VR and PlayStation 5 versions of this game.

    So yeah, I ended up buying my own copy of the game because I had to return my cousin's copy of the game. I never played a single game by MediaMolecule, but now, I definitely plan on trying more of their games out.

    If you are into games like these where you can create whatever you want and just get lost in a fantasy world that you can create yourself, THEN I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND YOU BUY THIS GAME AND SUPPORT MediaMolecule(The Developers of DreamsPS4).    … Expand

And the fact that Media Molecule is so transparent and grateful for their community is really inspiring, especially in an era of AAA cash grabs from companies like Ea and Activision.

    For what it is and for the fairly low prize (which was the reason I bought it, without waiting for a sale), after around 6 hours play and some YouTube videos watched, I say it nails it's genre.

    Through early access and the full release, I have enjoyed almost every user and MM created game, song, short film, or artwork. The game allows you to seemingly create any form of idea that you can come up with artistically. Each “dream” has little to no loading time, I have no idea how Media Molecule managed that, but bravo. The gameplay mechanics are very easy to pick up, once you finish the tutorial. One criticism I have is that the controls for creating a level or “dream” has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it is smooth sailing from there.

    This game has seemingly unlimited potential, even more than the LittleBigPlanet predecessors. For the price they’re asking I’d be ashamed if you didn’t buy it. Nearly Perfect! 10/10    … Expand

For someone who doesn't have any design, IT or computer skills I found it hard to learn on how to create games. Also, I did not enjoy the games that people create.

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

Everyone likes at least one of those categories and they have given us, the people, the tools to have at it and go for it. The "campaign" of 'Art's Dream' is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and is a feast for the eyes abd ears.

    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.
