Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“I'm fine with just wandering around liminal spaces (I loved Pools) but Dreamcore has made an art form of frustrating boredom. It gives you objectives to complete but doesn't tell you what they are. The way to complete them is to just walk…”
“Tried the demo. That had just about the right length and, in the end, the trailer led me to believe it could be something more than what the demo was: a walking/running simulator leading you through a series of disorienting spaces…”
