Overall, the Dreams platinum trophy looks very attainable – due to the game’s vast scope we weren’t even sure if it would have trophies in the first place. Media Molecule has engineered its list in such a way that encourages players to actually play through tutorials and engage with the creation aspect.

Surely the reason the trophies encourage the creative side is because the actual game side of it is pathetically short? There’s about 2 hours of game alongside the creative tools.
Should have been delayed a bit so they could put more in, along with all the other bits that are missing, like VR support for a start.

Da F..k!?! only two hours of “story” mode? For real?
MrYd
It might take a bit longer to get the last of the 9 trophies, if you miss some of the prize bubbles. But apart from that, it’s about 2 hours long.
It’s 2 very good hours, jumping about between various different types of game. But it doesn’t stick to one for long, and does end up just being a sort of showcase for what you could make yourself, with a lot of effort.
So on the one hand it’s a bit lacking in the story mode compared to LittleBigPlanet. But on the other hand, the things you could make (and people have already made) are quite ridiculous. You could spend days playing random things people have made. And at least it’s not a broken mess that crashes every 10 minutes, like LBP3 was.
Don’t let the 2 hours thing put you off though. It really is an incredible achievement, and some of the things people have made are very impressive. And hopefully it’ll improve over time.

So plenty of good stuff from the users then? If that’s the case I shall retain my preorder. Thanks!
MrYd
Oh, definitely lots of fun stuff people have made to discover. Or to remix in whatever way you see fit.
And it’s going to be massive for those with Fancy Hats. Whenever they release the VR support.

I think i clocked in closer to three hours but yes, it’s quite short in comparison to LBP. Beautifully done though, well polished and fun to play. I believe they intend to add more story content in future but there is no shortage of impressive user creations to check out either.
It’s a veritable ‘youtube’ of gaming and interactive experiences plus animations, sculpts, paintings and music and every combination thereof. Mileage may vary as a play-only experience but the tools are very accessible and creating your own stuff will provide hours of satisfaction.
Speaking of which – i have already subjected the dreamiverse to some of my abominations, time you showed us your’s MrYd ;P

Haven’t touched “Art’s Dream” yet but 2-3 hours sounds about right.
That’s the thing about Dreams – it’s not really about what Media Molecule makes, it’s about the community. However, trying to pitch that to PS4 punters is a tough sell.
MrYd
11 of the 39 trophies are about what MM makes. The 9 for Art’s Dream, and the 2 Creative Thinker trophies. Those involve remixing 2 of their things and publishing them. And then watching the whole thing get swamped with things called “My Creation 14/2/2020” tomorrow. And somehow getting comments and thumbs up for doing it.
It really needs a much longer story mode. At 2 hours with half a dozen different types of game in, it just comes across as “Look! You can do this! And this! Or even this, if you want!”. And it’s not even as if you can take any of those different little games and turn them into something bigger. (You can’t remix Art’s Dream, because reasons)
I’m not saying it’s not all worth it. Reviews so far have been giving it 9s and 10s, and I’d agree with that. But a decent length game along with the creative stuff could have pushed it up another point. So it’d get 10s and 11s. However that works.
