News Alien: Derelict Is One of Dreams' Most Impressive Creations Yet
Where's the sequel?
Alien: Isolation deserved a sequel. The 2014 title is still one of the PlayStation 4's very best survival horror experiences, but developer Creative Assembly has since moved onto other projects instead of creating a follow-up. That's a little bit heartbreaking, but Alien: Derelict is on hand to pick up the pieces. This new...
News Meanwhile in Dreams, Creators Have Mastered City Destruction
Boom clap
Don’t let the mannequin-esque main character deter you: this Dreams creation gets real impressive real fast.

News Super Mario 64's Physics Flawlessly Recreated in Dreams
Peachy
A complaint often levelled at user-generated content is that it rarely plays as well as a professionally made game.
