The Smurfs — Dreams was a downright magical experience; although I did encounter a few things I wish had been different, they are instantly forgotten thanks to everything I loved about the game.

The Smurfs – Dreams is a nice, family-friendly platformer that can also be appealing to fans of the genre and co-op enthusiasts. Despite being short and having some optimization issues, its creative challenges and engaging mechanics make it an enjoyable adventure.

I absolutely love The Smurfs video games and with The Smurfs - Dreams, we have the best that the franchise has to offer yet.

The Smurfs - Dreams is a delightful platformer and a fantastic pickup for anyone who loves Mario 3D Land or 3D World. This is very much inspired by it on a surface level, but with more rhythm to its platforming action. It's a trickier game than one might expect given the license, which has usually been used in simpler, less-challenging games. It plays nicely across the board and doesn't have a lot of flaws in its gameplay beyond having a set formula that changes up based on the weapons you have access to in the stage itself and a soundtrack that's hit or miss.

Smurfs Dreams deserve respect for favouring approach-ability over punishment, and should be a worthwhile present to any child who loves upbeat platformers. Any adult should give this a shot as well because it's a wonderfully designed game that really deserves attention. So with all that said, go blue because these Smurfs dreams have come true.

Gargamel has tainted the Smurfs' communal dinner, causing them all to fall asleep. Papa Smurf figures out what's going on and tasks your character with infiltrating their dreams to wake them all up. And honestly? It's a dream worth having.Read More

After many years reviewing all kinds of games for this website, I thought I had seen everything, and would rarely be surprised by something that would otherwise go against the norm, or even the laws of nature. If you had told me I’d review a Smurfs game someday, and actually really like it, I’d have said you’re a lunatic. Ease off on the booze. But nope, it’s actually true. After a handful of mediocre, but otherwise arguably competent releases, the third Smurfs game published by Micro...

Consistently and positively urprising with its level of quality and innovative ways of using the property, The Smurfs – Dreams is an unexpected treat for all platformer enthusiasts.

7/10

As a 3D platformer, The Smurfs: Dreams is simply a fun adventure that evokes smiles from the player. It's simple, with many of its puzzles not requiring much effort to solve, and even boss battles are pretty quick to master in comparison to many games on the market today. Anyone looking for a challenge, therefore, may want to move along to something else. However, the lightness of the game made it one that I enjoyed picking up at the end of the day when I just needed something to unwind with, and leave the worries of the world behind before entering my own dreams.

6.5/10

In the end, this game clearly has an audience, which I don’t think is most of the people reading this review. It’s not even a super quick and enjoyable 1000 gamerscore for those who may be so inclined. But for its intended audience I can see this game being a whole lot of fun and arguably more challenging in segments than one might expect. As I alluded to earlier, it’s definitely a game that I feel the developers very intentionally wanted to create a modern-day throwback to the licensed platformers of the 6th generation of consoles. They even make some welcome choices like not requiring you to...

The Smurfs: Dreams is a functioning platformer, but never quite taps into enough of that magic to bring us an interesting experience to the namesake. They may be pretty, but these lands feel a bit vacant of charm and personality.
