Dreams Review | Gamer.no

Gamer.no: "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."

[solideagle]

I think it's an very unfair score, what do you think?

[b163o1]

Completely unfair, idk if they can't wrap there heads around what Dreams actually is, but anything below a 8 IMO is a slap in the face, but that's my opinion...

[No Way]

Exactly, that's YOUR opinion.

This is their opinion..

*mind blown*

[frostypants]

@No Way, they were just answering the question that was asked. *Mind blown*. SMH...

[Godmars290]

Going by the first paragraph this comes off as something done for clicks.

[wwinterj]

Yeah. This always happens. Nothing to see here.

[lifeisgamesok]

Dreams has some of the most beautiful stuff I've ever seen

[Teflon02]

Cigi, you do realize you can actually PLAY the game. The game even tells you what kinda player you are. If you only play stages and games, They'll call you a player, if you create, you're a creator. The game is for all. it's no different than LittleBIGPlanet but on a whole different scale. YOu can build with basic logic if you want. It's not that hard. They give you tutorials to learn all the basics of making stages, games etc. It's your decision what you want. i plan on starting with music as I use to produce and did try and successfully did some in LBP3 and Vita

[DaDrunkenJester]

@Teflon

What he is saying is that the games TO PLAY are really not all that fun. Or they are short 10 minute showcases and that's it. There really isn't a "must play" game in Dreams YET. So just like any other game where you need to wait for fun content... you need to wait for the audience to actually create something fun to play.

Now, if you're a creator, there is much more here for you to do.

[Lionsguard]

Honestly, who cares. I'll never understand why people care about a some guy's score. And yes, it is just some guy. Like IGN for example, people always talk about the "IGN score" like its something magical but I mean it's just some score ONE guy in IGN throws out. Same thing here, it's just one person's opinion. Let it be.

[S2Killinit]

Especially IGN is a joke.

[Chevalier]

You can't spell ignorant without IGN.

[drunkenspy007]

It's from a site no one has heard of. Most likely putting out a contrary score for no other reason than being clickbait.

[Kiwi66]

Yet had they given it an 8+ score people would be praising the site

[bluefox755]

It is a good way to stand out and draw traffic though, not sure why anyone takes game review sites seriously anymore.

[KillBill]

I think Stone deserves everything he gets. :P

[DaDrunkenJester]

Depends on what you're looking for in Dreams. If you're buying it just to play games, there really isn't much there that will entertain you for more than a few hours. Most of them are short experiences or just showcases of them recreating other games that are already made better. And then you're waiting around for people to finish their creations. So if you're buying it just for that, right now, a 6/10 is very accurate as there isn't really a "must play" game on it yet. Some cool ideas, but nothing fully done.

But if you go in as a player AND creator it's easily a 9+

[Gunstar75]

What have you made?

[GaboonViper]

There's always one.

[roadkillers]

Yeah. I am excited to see what Dreams can do. My friends on the other hand think it was a waste of money. There are few games on here that will grab general attention at the moment

[kneon]

And this is the only one I've seen, I can't recall seeing another review below a 9, though I'm sure they exist somewhere. And some may even have valid reasons for their score beyond just generating clicks

[ajax17]

Always some obscure website nobody knows about that just wants attention.

[TGGJustin]

Lol. Always got to be that outlier.

[N1GHT_W0LF_X]

They have a very fitting website name though. Do they consider themselves gamers?

Gamer.no

[SolidGamerX]

Just a desperate attempt to lower the meta and get clicks.

[YodaCracker]

I understand the clicks, but I never understood the meta thing people talk about. How would lowering a game’s Metacritic score benefit a website?

[Stopac]

Because if it's dipping people want to see the reviews that are causing it. This would be one of those reviews I guess... then they click and read it. That's my best guess.

[No Way]

Or they just don't like it..

[yomfweeee]

All 41 other reviews had it at 80 or above. This is the only outlier. You have to question it.

[AnotherGamer]

Oh lol, there's always that one guy lol.

[dafegamer]

Ah yes!!! I almost forgot that each highly rated exclusive has that one outler review that standsout

[Babadook7]

Hit piece.

[DafunkyRebel]

“I suck at creativity so it’s automatically a bad game”

[badz149]

yeah pretty much

[SyntheticForm]

I'm assuming they're just not very adept with the application, because everyone else is praising the robust nature of Dreams, and how creators are able to go sky high with their creations.

Everyone else seems to love it.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

I didn't think it was possible but wow. You don't even have to be a gamer to fall in love with Dreams because it's soo much more than just a game. Garbage review from a garage journalist.

[Segata]

I don't plan to buy the game as I suck in creating levels and stuff but this score is BS. I've seen some insane stuff from people. From original creations to faithfully re-creating classic levels from 90s games.

[The_Sage]

You don't have to be creative. I've not even touched the creative side after 20 hours and I feel that I've not even begun to scratch the surface of what others have already created. There is some fantastic stuff out there. For $40 it feels like a steal.

[The_Sage]

B.S.. I've had a blast playing Dreams over the last few days.

[blackblades]

Clickbait and it succeeded at it

[Ratchet75]

That's cold even coming from a 🇳🇴 site. 😂

[knickstr]

Always that one reviewer.

[MadLad]

In defense of the reviewer, Dreams is hard to review. Maybe it shouldn't be reviewed as a traditional game he's not wrong that a lot of the user content is less than amazing.
There are some outliers, but, again, they're outliers.
All the same, MM has shown what can be done with the tools. The content is only going to be made better going forward.

All the same, I'm not about going at the reviewer. If you're looking at Dreams purely about what can be played, well ... Yeah. There's nothing too exceptional at the moment.
If you're looking at it as a toolset, and a community producing basically endless content, it's great.
It's hard to give a proper score to though.

[generic-user-name]

I don't think it's hard to score. Does the game achieve what it set out to accomplish? In the case of Dreams it's a game that gives players the tools to create their own games, did it succeed at that? I would say yes, I'd also say it does it far better than anything else out there (ie LBP), it's on a new level. Therefore I think it's hard to justify giving this game anything less than 9 (some think no game is ever a 10, otherwise I'd say 10).

[Nacho_Z]

Yeah it should be judged on how well it does at being a user friendly tool for letting people make their own games and it does a superb job of it. People frustrated by their own lack of creative spark shouldn't knock the game because it's not for them.

Never mind the fact that you don't have to create a damn thing and can spend all your time trying out what other people have made, basically forever. There's going to be some amazing stuff produced in the years to come.

[Game-o-holic]

By just me being here and writing this comment I am falling into the trap set by this reviewer, shock for more clicks. When every other review is miles from theirs it's pretty obvious what is going one.

[jjb1981]

There's always gotta be that one standout, clickbait article.

[ibrake4naps]

This website is like the 1 out of 10 dentists that dont recommend Colgate toothpaste.

[The_Sage]

Lol

[Chumdiddy]

Oxygen:
It's ok and has promise. I mean, I like breathing but right now it just lacks a real "umph". It doesn't even taste like fried chicken or candy. What gives.

6/10

Water:
Pfftt...call me when you can be traded for magic beans! Too basic to be anything more than mediocre.

3.5/10

[dennigo]

what an idiot way to get clicks, no wonder i never heard of this site

[UltimateOwnage]

These guys must not be all that creative to give a score like this, and that’s not the game’s fault. Great for clickbait revenue anyways.

[FyBy]

Wow. Creations are not fun to play? And what about own creations? I personaly had lot of fun to make beach scene for my daughter. Did he try it? Author often uses words like "impressive this" "impressive that" and than slashes it down because he doesnt find others creations fun? So he gives this mark for community content in the beginning (ok,early access content is there either, but we dont know, how many players were in early access (I was, but I didnt create anything memorable :-) ). He should wait then maybe few months if he wanted to do that. I dont get it, really.

[Bathyj]

The sites name reminds me of a Simpsons bit.

It should be
Gamer? No!

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

We met again Gamer.no.

[sprinterboy]

Gamer. no who?

[bellome]

Gamer?no

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

Why are you peeps mad? That's still ok. Not enough?

[Damrock]

Dreams - 6/10, Star Wars - 6/10, Days gone - 5/10, Rage 2 - 5/10.........

FIFA 20 though.......9! out of 10.... *Facepalm*

[Latex74]

Just because it gets a low score dont mean anyone's trolling its opinion we dont all need to agree life not like that . Im sure some hate the game its how things are .if you love it great if you dont great play something you do simple. I read in comments someone said if you dont like this game your dead inside as a gamer please just no . Im on the fence about getting this game as dont think its my thing may try it at some point just not sure

[lellkay]

Nothing to see here, move along.

[Pika-pie]

Most of the stuff on there though is really bad.. some of it totally unplayable. Quite frustrating really. The MM stuff is good.

[Rhythmattic]

Well, Opinions are just like arseholes.... Everyone has one...
However , in this case, his really stinks....
Mwhahahahahah

[Ryumadd]

I like dreams a lot, and was in the early access beta, and cant see how a user created level have the resource to make anything close to Art’s dream like media molecule. A lot of created levels are kind of cool, okay and just bad, its pretty much empty and soul less, nothing mind-blowing. Sorry for being ignorant but, I am disappointed by the lack of story games in dreams by Mm

[sampsonon]

there is always one.

[BrainSyphoned]

No.gamersEmployed

[PaleMoonDeath]

This one prefers Nightmares.

[WickedLester]

Somebody always has to be the turd in the punchbowl!

[LordJamar]

I think it’s a cool concept but it’s nothing really original and it will basically live and die by its playerbase I don’t see myself ever playing it but i would love to see some of the creations peope have made I just don’t think these kinda games last long maybe Minecraft is sorta a exception but even that’s a bit different. Not saying this game is bad cause it’s not it’s just idk very nitch?

[jznrpg]

This is exactly the type of game that can last long. Player creations with a great toolset and more to be added including VR

[Shane Kim]

Typical Scandinavian reviews. If it's not on PC, not interested.

[Terry_B]

Gamer.no ..is on my shitlist now.

[Phantom68]

This score does not make any sense

[DrShoe]

"Oh Hi, click me 2: Click bait returns" The review

[Father__Merrin]

If this was on PC you simply would not sttop hearing about it but because it's PS only it somehow doesn't even to be any good. I sure hope ps5 wipes the floor with these fanboy reviewers

[Zefros]

Gamer is actually a very trusted site in Norway but in this case i disagree.

[purple101]

Who paid these guys off to give a 6. I think a 7. I didn't like you but they should appreciate what's been done here..

Not to mention., I'm sure theres some public creations, that deserve at least six or 7, let alone.. the whole package

[drunkenspy007]

Alert, this is obvious clickbait, save yourself some time and avoid these tools.

[Passerotto]

here it is, the small site that does not read anyone, that needs clicks..

[franwex]

I’m super excited for Dreams personally, but it does make sense that if one is not the creative type-they may not enjoy it as much.

So this review represents those people in a way.

[Father Murder X]

I don't get you fanboys. Why does it matter if someone else likes a game or gives it a good review? As long as you enjoy your purchase why does it bother you all so much if others don't like it. You are entitled to your opinion just they are entitled to theirs. Grow up,

[jznrpg]

It’s obvious clickbait . Even if you don’t like the player made creations right now you can judge it as a toolset at minimum , and it’s clearly the best toolset available to gamers for any platform .

[Kumakai]

theres always gotta be some a**hole review looking for clicks. we all know this game deserves AT LEAST a 9.

[Weapon_of_choice]

I guess the author doesn't get it. I literally can not stop playing Dreams, endless options to create anything you can think of. Mind blowing what you can do and what others can make with Dreams. So a truly ludicrous review. Probably some hate from consoles not getting Dreams.

[jznrpg]

Gamer no , good name

[Nodoze]

CLICK BAIT. Don't follow it. Dreams is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see what the community produces. There was some AMAZING creations already. In a year. Wow.

[drunkenspy007]

This made it to the hottest article on N4G? Clickbait successful!

[Mr_Luke]

Is this a clickbait? I was waiting for the usual lone wolf there, giving almost negative score to the game, just to attract angry people (because it doesn't deserve a so low score, this is an opinion piece disguised as a review) :P
