Critic Reviews for Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow
Unfortunately, Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is not a good tribute to some more classic games, like Limbo or Little Nightmares, and fails to deliver a memorable adventure, feeling way more frustrating than it should.

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an amazing experience that will leave you with some questions and give you some thinking for homework.
With its successful design and a reasonable dose of sentimentality this game could have been one of the "unforgettable" experiences, unfortunately it falls into '"just okay" category because of its outdated mechanics and some bugs.

If you like the platformer Planet of Lana, you should also enjoy the story of a boy and his teddy bear... in theory. But, unfortunately, it is a little different in practice. Daydream can be a gaming nightmare.

Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an underwhelming puzzle platformer. The eye-catching, whimsical environments simply aren't enough to salvage the poor storytelling and frustrating controls.
While Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow might lure players in with its cute designs and promise of Little Nightmares-like gameplay, it’s nothing that hasn’t been done before. The gameplay itself is frustrating, often leading to unnecessary and pointless deaths, with no real understanding of how to do better the next time. On top of a myriad of other bugs, it would be hard to recommend this game, unfortunately.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a wonderful sidescroller that shows great potential from a clearly passionate and skilled new developer. While there are some teething problems with the 3D elements of the game and some object collision issues that can make puzzles frustrating, the game definitely demonstrates what it does right far more than what it does wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing and can’t wait to see what Frozen Line will be up to next. Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow comes out on June 14th and it well worth checking out.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is a solid cinematic platformer if you’re looking for a short and sweet adventure that can be completed in a few gaming nights. I often find myself mixed with games like this. I hated the gotcha moments and became frustrated with the platforming, especially during action sequences. Although it was never to the extent where I threw in the towel, something drove me to carry on and see this game to its conclusion. For every issue I had, I could point to something I liked such as the rewarding puzzles, the captivating presentation and the dreamlike soundtrack. It really is a roller coaster of a video game. Ultimately I liked Daydream. Through all the highs and lows I had with my time, I walked away satisfied and wanting to cuddle a teddy. But since I’m a bit old for that now, I’ll cuddle my son instead.
