Dreamfast with Me

Something i'm noticing about a lot of these 5 star reviews, is that they were posted only a few days after the game came out. You will see many posts start like "I'm about half way through..." or "Just started chapter 4 and i love it!" ect. Normally, you finish things before reviewing them. And this is precisely the problem. The game may be flooded with glowing reviews, but they seem to be from people who haven't finished the game yet and perhaps a few bots. So here are the honest thoughts of someone who has actually completed it: The game itself is actually amazing. They really did a brilliant job of bringing the characters, world, music, environments and story to life. 80% of the game is fantastic and was absolutely goty material. That is, right up until the last couple hours. Unfortunately, the game just completely falls apart with a very bizarre multiverse concept they introduced. Instead of watching a beautiful, emotional ending, you're just bewildered as you witness a convoluted mess. And that was not how i wanted to feel. I think the bigger question is WHY do all this to begin with? If they had just made a more straightforward story that adhered to the og, hardly anyone would be complaining. I get they were trying something more complex, but I don’t think 7 was the game for it. 8 definitely, but not 7. A majority of gamers—most of whom are from the og crowd—were just expecting a simple remake, and now we have to watch Youtube videos to have everything explained to us. That’s where the gripe is stemming from. It’s not that the ideas aren’t interesting, it’s just that too much change is not a good thing. A generous 3/5.
