Dreams - Review Thread

I think this game will score pretty dang well (Between 88-94). I might get it if I end up really wanting a PS5 and I'd think Sony would allow Media Molecule to have a port of Dreams on the PS5 right?
Last gen was weird OK,
Resistance 2 got a 90 MC.
The times they are quite different
Whenever I get a PS4/5 I'm defintely picking up Dreams. I've been following some of the creations and they are freaking incredible, the tools look fun to play with as well :)
The benefit of not having to make everything from scratch and you can just take and adjust something you like from someone else's creation is genius (Don't worry, they get to share in the credits! So if you make something great it's gonna get used!) .
Best creation I've seen is the one with the derpy Godzilla parody blowing stuff up, but I forgot the name of it.

I mean even if this game inst for you, they are basically selling a completely user friendly game engine and the infinite playable creations which for value, replay-ability and general entertainment is amazing. I guess if I was reviewing it the only things that would hamper the score is how easy it is to be able to use those tools and share your creations... if they nailed that (which it looks like they did) it would probably be dis ingenuous to review it badly. Hopefully it translates into sales for MM and the company sees the spoils of their hard work and amazing idea
Its a user friendly game engine where people create content from games to movies to music for other people to enjoy at their leisure or build off. I was trying to be simplistic with my first response because you, among others, act like this is a new or obtuse thing for games when there are tons of games focused on creation by players for others to play, including some of the most popular games in existence like Minecraft and Roblox.
The marketing has issues but again, feels like some of you want to go out of your way to act ignorant about what this game is when there are tons of comparisons, like the games that proceeded it by the very same developer.
Kinda depends on your expectations I think. For me I haven't seen any games in Dreams that I'd actually play as a standalone game. For the most part my reaction has been like "damn, it's super impressive that they were able to create this in Dreams but also I'm probably never going to play this creation again."
I almost view it like a massive continuously-updated minigame collection that has a surprising amount of variety (though calling some of the games people have created "mini"games might be selling them short). If you're good with that I'd say go for it.
I don't think there's any way a 6 year old would have the ability or patience to learn the creation tools because it's pretty complex time-consuming stuff. He/she could have fun playing all of the other creations people have made though (see the above part of my post). I don't know anything about the new story mode.
That sounds like a lotta fun. I'm going to keep my eye on this game for the next few weeks.
With you monitoring it should be fine, at least playing I don't know creation, but if your kid is into creating they can branch as they grow.
I let my 12 year old niece play with it, the tools are too much for her (granted she's not super creative either) but she loves dreamsurfing.
The tons of games based on creation follow a base game or genre as a template. You know exactly what can be created if you know the base, and have a clear idea of how much effort is needed.
You can't make the same correlation about Dreams. Something as powerful and flexible as Dreams is new. Hence, we need a clear message to make people understand where it falls.
And I was confirming that your dreams is where such a score would be possible.
I think a few reviews will review it "as a game" and drag down the Metacritic a bit. Complain about the campaign length compared to LBP, replayability and put the user made levels against professional retail games. Sounds like they have accomplished something really great for those who want the entire package at least.
User warned: Console warring.
Quite likely Xbox and/or Nintendo fans.
It always happens...
I wonder if this game will be the next 10 in Edge?
It is worth playing this game just for Art's Dream!
There's no way getting around it, Dreams is a difficult thing to market. Its not a game, it is a game, you can do anything in it.
Word of mouth and reviews and people talking about it is probably the only way you will get through to some people. A 2 minute trailer or anything from MM or Sony just seems to inadequate to explain, and people don't care for nor have time for lengthy explanations.
There has been a lot of naysaying about whether this game will catch on and find it's audience. However, people need to remember that whether this will ultimately catch on long term is irrelevant to the score. Reviews will score the product that has been provided to the customer. You wouldn't give a great fighting game a bad score because you don't think people will learn the combos.
Dreams is an incredible, and original product....I'm loving it....And I can't make shit.

I don't really know what will convince the naysayers, but holy shit look at this by burgervan (or don't look at it, get Dreams and play it there).

You have to keep an eye on them, as there are games such as jump scares and spoopy content. Also, bizarrely, and this is one of the few complaints I have about the game - they're so desperate to show that they're more mature than LBP that they throw some swearing into the Art's Dream campaign. I would rather they hadn't.
I hear that. Pessimism is my way of life but I forced myself to flip it for Dreams due to mad soft spot for that MM creative genius. I need them to continue doing what they do because the gaming industry is sooo much more vibrant and beautiful with creative genius like that.
Wow. Great Job Human was already super impressive, but that's amazing (especially that store)I don't really know what will convince the naysayers, but holy shit look at this by burgervan (or don't look at it, get Dreams and play it there).

LittleBigPlanet 2 is one of the greatest Ps3 games in my opinion and criminally underrated. But it never gets the attention that any other Ps3 exclusives ever got.
But Little Big Planet 1 and 2 were actually really sucessful commercially
My best guess would be it being on a console with a much larger user base and it, from all appearances, being a much more complex game making tool.
Not anywhere near as successful as Ps3's best known exclusives
