A game that will define all future games. If this masterpiece is running on a PS4, imagine what we could do on a PC.

It’s obvious you get a tremendous amount of value for the price. If you crave a creative outlet, the tools here are effective and easy to learn, and the army of full or part-time developers appear ready to embrace your work. If you just want a wide range of weird games to play, you’ll find your queue refilled on a regular basis with surprises that couldn’t have been realized any other way. There are definitely things Media Molecule needs to focus on now that early access is over, and it’ll be a treat to see the game grow over time, but what’s here now is absolutely incredible.

(This rating is based on the performance on the base PS4 and PS4 Pro)
This game is the best way for aspiring game developers to start making games. It can be a bit laggy at times while editing large scenes, especially on the base PS4. If you just want to play dreams, don't buy it for full price. Most good dreams are in development and/or are fangames. Otherwise, it is an incredible game and definitely worth the price tag.

I absolutely LOVE Dreams. It's my favorite Media Molecule game. You can make a game, which will take a while, but is super fun, and may even get you started in a bit of logic for future, non-Dreams games, or play the awesome games made by the community, and put awesome in that. Media Molecule makes some games for Dreams, and they're actually pretty high-effort! I really like Media Molecule actually colaborates with Dreams' community to make games, it's the best example of user-developer interaction one could ever find. I do think the tutorial for Dreams is annoying and not targeted at the main audience, and that Dreams' "engine" system thingy is a bit hard to learn, and it should've been ported to PC, but, eh, this is next-gen tech we got here, there will NEVER be a game like Dreams.

It didn’t matter that I’d never designed a game before, didn’t matter that I’m not much of an artist, didn’t matter that I can only play music and not compose it. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed by Dreams.

If I had to describe Dreams with just one word, I would go with "beautiful". There is no other product more deserving of that word more than Dreams. Media Molecule definitely made the line between art and video games thinner than ever.

Dreams is a revolutionary experience, well-developed and capable of being as accessible as it is deep. The dream has just begun, but already, with all these incredible tools, seems like something wonderful.

Dreams is like shopping for free in a game store, where there are almost exclusively cheap knock-offs on the shelves! Besides that, this game is the most user-friendly game-building tool on the market, which will probably produce some great things in the future.

Dreams is wholly unique in that it gives the common player the tools to create virtually whatever they want. The unfortunate part is that the creations - at least so far and including the levels made by Media Molecule itself - are just not that fun to play. It will, however, be very exciting to see where this game will be in the upcoming months and years.

Just came back to this game after a break and wow, it's still just as good as I remember. I love diving into the minds of others, it just gives such a great chance for those to express their imagination and creativity. I truly hope they release a sequel to this for PS5, as with the way it looks already the potential would be ridiculous!

This game can be many things. Other games, art showcases, lsd trips, and all inbetween. Finding something that you enjoy playing is relatively easy, and there are some surprisingly talented people making these small games. Props to them.

Not 100% sure how to define Dreams, is it really a game that can be completed? With all the content people add over time? I only played the little story mode that was available at launch and finished it in one sitting. I had a really good time, the characters were all really cute and I was surprised at how invested I got in such a short time! The singing parts were kinda cringe though.. I never dove into the actual creator this game has because I don’t wanna know what abominations I’m capable of creating. If I could barely build a good stage in Smash Bros Brawl I doubt I could make a working game lol. Overall I’m glad I experienced Dreams!

A lot of high ratings for this game. Although it is pretty fun, but nothing really new, and not all that special.

Dreams needs to go on PC to salvage what they can from that ABSOLUTELY FAILURE **** and Media Molecule needs to make a game ppl want to play because right now they are the DEAD WEIGHT OF PLAYSTATION STUDIOS.
