What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Dream Machine: Chapter 1 & 2 features distinctive art, creative puzzles, and an engaging story that starts strong, but players consistently report that the later chapters falter with pacing issues, unclear puzzle mechanics, and a narrative that derails unexpectedly. Technical problems plague the experience, including UI issues, performance slowdowns, crashes, and broken achievements, which compound frustration toward the game's end.
I mostly liked it but can't recommend this version of the game since there is a remaster in the works that will be done in a new engine and have other changes, I would probably wait for that one, because there is definitly something here that could be great, but the UI, extreme slowdowns and various crashes and jank, sour the experience. The plot also goes completely of the rails in the last chapter. I might have missed something, but it felt like it came out of nowwhere and wasn't what the game was leading up to. The plot is good for most of the game, and chapter 5 was really creative, but it does have some pacing issues, that are not helped by the atrocious UI. The achievements are currently broken and not availible in the main release of the game, to get to them you need to run the beta build, but that one is pretty unstable and suffers extreme slowdowns. But at least all the achievements work. A lot of them are missable and even if there are a chapter selection, there are few save slots and some achievements require actions in several chapters.5 found this helpful
In short, second attempt at trying to finish this game,...it starts out strong. The final chapters however are painful, uninspired, bloated, unnecessarily long and its clear the designer ran out of ideas. I'm guessing this is why we haven't seen anything else from this creator. It's also somewhat annoying the some of the puzzles involve single use game mechanics that you are not made aware of and its by accident that you stumble upon them.2 found this helpful
this was my 1st Steam game and I have very fond memories of playing it. bizarre and unique story, artfully executed, charming and disturbing all at once. 9/101 found this helpful
it's a good game, but its pretty buggy. I had a really hard time with the last few chapters. I didn't even get to finish the final chapter because it kept crashing. I don't have this issue with any other games (even large / resource intensive ones). Still, it was fun and I think the early chapters are worth the recommend on their own.
cool storyline!
Gorgeous animation and cerebral gameplay
