REM: The Dreamer

REM: The Dreamer sounds built for drifting, not for rushing, and that usually means a game that values dream logic, fragments of story, or quiet exploration. By our assessment, the attraction is the mood: games with this kind of title often lean on surreal spaces and a soft, introspective pace. The trade-off is that the same softness can leave the structure thin if the puzzles or systems are not doing enough work. In play, that can feel calm and slightly hazy, with more attention on atmosphere than on challenge. It belongs nearer to artistic indie adventures than to big commercial puzzle games, which sets the expectation well. REM: The Dreamer will suit players who enjoy reflective, dreamlike games and do not need the design to be blunt or heavily directed.
