TESTED GAMESCreation is only half of the
Dreams package. The other
is Dream Surfing, essentially
a social media space for
creativity. When you like
something you can give it
as many thumbs-up gestures
as you see fit. The most liked
creations are browseable by
setting a filter, and you can
also search for games you’ve
previously played, games you
haven’t, and updates since you
last logged in.
Best of all is Autosurf mode,
which is Dreams’ version of
shuffle. Spend half an hour
here and you may need a lie
down. One minute you’ll be
playing a fairly rudimentary
open-world Spider-Man
game; the next you’re gazing
at a staggeringly accurate
remake of horror classic PT
or a near-photorealistic digital
painting of a fry-up.
In our time with Dreams we
watched a piece of asparagus
perform stand-up comedy,
got trolled by God on the way
to heaven, nearly teared up at
a Freddie Mercury tribute and,
perhaps most impressively of
all, sampled a half-decent 3D
Sonic game.
These dreams can be small
snippets or multi-level RPG
epics. The variety of content
on display is already as
astonishing as the variety
of quality.Baked beans and
