✦ AI summary

Dream Detective has creative level design and charming art that some players genuinely enjoy, but the game is plagued by severe technical problems including server issues, graphical glitches, language compatibility requirements, and poor UI/UX design that make it frustrating to play. With abandoned development, unresponsive support, and widespread reports of persistent bugs across the community, players strongly advise against purchasing this game.

Greta game until it stopped working. Server side. They abandoned it from what I can gather. Makes no sense to have a 'permanently live' aspect for a game like this. Totally ridiculous. Unfortunately steer clear. Massive disappointment.

Dream Detective - when I saw it first time on steam, I thought that it should be fun to play it specially with my kids, sadly .. we saw only one picture of radio and blue background. When I tried to catch developers on steam discussion - there is only small note, that they already know about this trouble and they are working on it... So I decided to keep it for a while just only for support devs whose are blue now. But please just for me.... exchange picture of radio for real photo of dead corpses of developers whose tried to help to solve it and worked on it 24/7... thanks --- EDIT: game is playable ONLY if you will change main language in WINDOWS10 settings to English (US) language. Not really what I really wanted to do...

[h1] Great Reference and Great Level Design but . . . [/h1] This game is great by far great level design / funny reference if possible it should have more interacted way but this game UI is not great and full of bug and even worse when comes to UX UX is terrible performance. Why is Magnifying glass is so big and cover some area so much when i don't want to use it. Why is the Map selection is swipe down when there're a lot of maps, i don't wanna scroll down this much ( this is worst pain point for me) Why is this at here and why this button at here? this game makes me a lot of question like this. TLDR; Game is okay but UX and UI Is quite painful

Je ne recommande absolument pas ce jeu. Depuis des mois, tout ce que j'obtiens c'est un écran bleu. La page des discussions est pleine de cas similaires et personne ne répond. On a fini par nous demander les caractéristiques de nos ordinateurs... Amateurs! Je n'ai pas de temps à perdre et regrette fortement mon achat! Je déconseille à quiconque de l'acheter, quelque soit le prix... (Signé: fâché)

I love the art of the game and the creativity of the developers in the different levels. One of my all time favourite games.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
