Video games naturally tap into our more curious side. They give us the chance to explore surreal environments and engage in activities that aren’t always possible in the real world. That’s a huge reason why people play video games in the first place, to be honest. Well, if you enjoy this type of creativity and have a PS4, you’ll be happy to know that Dreams is now available.

It’s a game creation system that lets anyone design and create their own gaming masterpieces. The system was developed by Media Molecule — the studio behind Little Big Planet — and it seems like the perfect system to mess around with for hours. Even if you don’t have a creation in mind, you can use this program’s tools and resources and come up with something unthinkable.

For example, you can create your own short mini-games or even compose your own song. It’s all up for grabs in Dreams, which is an appropriate title for this innovative software. It’s just another reason why the PS4 is such a beloved console. Not only does it receive exclusive after exclusive, Sony is always looking to push the boundaries in the software department.

A huge appeal of Dreams is the community. That’s really what drives the system. Once one user spends time working on a unique project, they can upload it to the community servers where everyone will have access to it. You can find all sorts of amazing content, really. Sometimes, you may be enjoying a particularly difficult puzzle and then minutes later you could be messing around with some sort of gadget. There are no boundaries as far as what you can do. Dreams really does seem limitless.

Best of all, Dreams really isn’t that difficult to use. There are plenty of instructional guides you can use to walk you through the various systems. You can start off with something simple and then after a couple of hours, really let your creative juices flowing. There is no right or wrong way to design, either. That’s the beauty that the developer has nailed down perfectly. You’re just influenced to use your imagination and utilize the tools laid out for you.
