‎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!‎

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Dreams brings together a set of tools for all creators regardless of their particular discipline. It is also a library of lessons teaching you how to work with these tools. Thanks to thematic jams it motivates you to create and gives you space to share your creations and collaborate with others. This has not been done before and Media Molecule truly deserves the perfect score, because Dreams in not only entertainment - it also gives the opportunity for more entertainment to be created.

Dreams will be everything we want, in color, in black and white, in 3D, in 2D, with a relevant story. A world just for touring, will be our world, or our adventure in another's world. We are in charge, which is certainly the culmination of everything they have achieved so far. Congratulations to Media Molecule and deserves all the success you have with what we consider to be your Magnum Opus.

With "Dreams", Media Molecule has created a true masterpiece among game construction kits, which opens up undreamt-of possibilities for players and proves to be a truly dreamlike experience. In contrast to simplified game kits, the comprehensive editor allows players to cross the boundaries of individual genres and create almost picturesque settings and cinematic game sequences. However, beginners should first invest a little time to become fully familiar with the complex menus and the individual mechanisms of "Dreams". Passionate game developers can draw from a wealth of inspiring dreams and can implement comprehensive game projects in cooperation with friends and the community. In "Dreams", passionate creative minds find a game construction kit that sets completely new standards and makes virtually anything possible in dream creation.

Dreams represents a real "dream", catapulting gamers not only into an immense catalog where they can enjoy trying the titles created by the community, but they will also have the opportunity to express their creativity, trying their hand at creating purely personal works, exploiting the very complete development tool. In addition, "The dream of Art" does not exclusively represent the potential of the game editor, but tells an intimate, touching and imbued story of metaphors focused on the solitude and insecurity of our protagonist, which alone "justifies" the purchase of Dreams !

If you really want to unleash all your creativity, get rid of prejudices and arm yourself with time and patience, because the road is not easy. But the reward, the sweet dopamine that will irrigate your neurotransmitters when you see a new “Like” in your dream, well deserves your dedication. Because life is a dream, and dreams are dreams.

Dreams is not just a video game, but it transcends the concept of the game and becomes something that has never been seen before. The opportunities for creation are unlimited and all kinds of users can find their place here. It's not a game for everyone, in fact it's only for a few, but anyone who wants to knock on its doors will find the most welcoming of homes
