I have been playing this adorable little game for the past few evenings. It is Playstation only but it's completely free since they're giving away the base Dreams game as part of Playstation Plus this month.

The levels are all based in a large attic filled to the brim with nostalgia-- think old toys, classic computers, portable cassette players, etc. It's so cute AND the gameplay loop is fun!

From the very first moments you can tell that that this thing was lovingly crafted. I highly recommend it!

I think Dreams would also have done much better with a major underlying game instead of advertising itself as effectively a game engine you can't profit from. LBP, Mario Maker, Halo, Far Cry, and others have an appeal to them because they're complete titles that people enjoy, but have level editors (or are the level editor in the case of Mario) that allow players to easily express their creativity given the rules and assets of these games. I haven't ever launched Dreams, but I'm over the moon waiting for Restitched. Brings me back to the days of waiting for my LBP pre-order to release.

Dream does have those (pretty extensive) tutorial and "from MM" levels but they are not a bundle experience like LBP.
