It’s one for you to enjoy creating an original experience, and one to experience original creations. Dreams’ true capabilities are yet to be discovered, as we are well into it’s early days in full release but I have no doubts that not too far in the future, we may see some of the greatest in gaming this year come from this engine, this platform, this wealth of creativity that is the Dreams community. Dreams is essential gaming this year, and truly a must have for all gamers.

With Dreams, Media Molecule has set itself a monument in the gaming scene. The story is quite manageable in scope, but it offers the perfect insight into what is possible with the editor of Dreams. With a little bit of dedication and creativity, everyone can realize their own game dreams. With all the community features, the great remix functionality and the community jams, I see no reason why Dreams shouldn't last for many years to come. Media Molecule has already confirmed that Dreams will run on the PS5, so I will probably be able to admire my creations and those of many other players in the next generation.

Dreams is just the beginning of a long journey that could lead to a turning point in the medium: a point of contact between creator and player, a new way of conceiving the medium. A bet whose outcome depends on the response of users and the management of the community by Media Molecule.

The emphasis on having the players create levels is why the game really shines, and it can only get better as time goes on.

I can definitely see Dreams having a long lifetime, especially if a PS5 version is swiftly released after the new console. Being able to dive in and try out what’s new and exciting in Dream Surfing is always great, as is slowly building up your skills in Dream Shaping. I don’t think I’ll ever to able to create a masterpiece of my own, but I admire Dreams greatly for empowering those people who can.

Media Molecule's latest creation is a beast of creation. Dreams is a game with a lot of possibilities that you will enjoy if you like to create, even though it requires your effort and time, or if you enjoy playing in the creations of others. With Dreams, all you can imagine, you can do it.

Dreams is not just a game, but a huge collection of great projects, objects and creative ideas. With a wealth of objects and tools, the extensive editor gives you the ability to make your ideas, dreams and visions come true. Whether you're a dream surfer or a dream shaper, you'll get plenty of stuff to let your imagination run wild. I am incredibly curious about how Dreams will develop in the future and which worlds we will explore. After a bit of patience and getting used to the world, there are no limits to your fun and creativity. An update with support for PSVR is already being planned and Dreams should also be playable on PS5. Maybe we will be allowed to explore your created world soon.

‎Dreams is a game that has a lot of potential in the future for both the creators and the players. The large amount of lessons are easy to follow for the creators and there will only be more fun in the future for the people who love to play. In addition, Dreams' ‎‎single-player campaign‎‎ is a must if you've bought the game due to the special playstyle. The only thing that could make this game even better is ‎‎multiplayer‎‎ and more cool creations from the Dreams community!‎

If analyzing a completed art form can be a complex undertaking and that obliges to take into analysis different specific elements ... making a judgment on the instrument to generate that specific form of art, could prove to be a challenge, almost, impossible. Dreams, however, manages to give a mere development tool, a form that embraces different playful and social aspects, giving life to a software able to unite developers and players together allowing the former, or anyone who wants to take this path, to give life to their fantasies, and the latter to be able to access a library, almost infinite, of multifaceted productions that show the inspiration that this media can generate in its fans.

Dreams seems like a niche game from a first glance, but it's impossible to truly appreciate what it has to offer until you see what it has to offer yourself. It feels like an arcade with unlimited plays for everyone and a museum encompassing every interest all wrapped into one game. Whether you're there to build or just to look around, Dreams isn't a game to miss.

Whether you’re making a first jump into the world of game development, looking for a new way to get your ideas prototyped and up and running really rapidly or just wanting to enjoy the fascinating creations others have made, Dreams has a lot to offer you. Media Molecule have once again brought together a community of like minded creators and given them some powerful tools to show off their creative side. Dreams has a big future and I’m very much looking forward to seeing what future updates hold for the game and the kinds of things the very talented community will build in the coming years.

Dreams is such an astounding creative experience that I highly recommend it to every PS4 owner. Even if you're uncreative and cynical, it's difficult not to appreciate what Dreams and its community of creators have to offer.

Dreams is a unique and different experience, it already carries on a lot of fantastic and creative experiments by the community, and if it achieved enough popularity it can keep on giving for many years to come.

There are no words that can accurately define my feelings towards Dreams. It's a title that has transcended everything we know as a game, becoming something completely new. Media Molecule exceeded all possible expectations by creating this wonderful tool, that if used correctly, will serve as one of the main pivots for content creators, game-design students, musicians, animators and many others throughout this decade. Dreams may be one of the last "games" to be released for PlayStation 4, but it will forever be immortalized as one of the greatest titles ever made in history.

Dreams is a creator-focused set of tools more so than a video game. If you've always wanted to get into game making, collaborate with the like-minded community, and weren't sure where to start, this is a great option. But if you're primarily after some quality gameplay, and not just bite-sized imitations, it's best to look elsewhere.
