Dream Cycle is doing a lot. And it does a lot of it well. But the parts that fall flat, bouncing off the strangeness of the game's own design, make it hard to recommend.

Critic reviews
- 6.5A third-person, Lovecraft-inspired action game is a great idea. Dream Cycle comes close to making it happen. It’s not quite a nightmare, but not the sweet dream I hoped it would be.
- 6.5It has a lot of technical issues to work out and animation smooth in order to bring more life to the game. Still, there's a lot to find in the game and plenty to keep you busy should you choose to continue the dream cycle.
- 6.0Ultimately, Dream Cycle is an interesting and creative take on Lovecraft's world and one that should have been so much better. While it's hard to recommend Dream Cycle in its current state, some may feel that these issues are miniscule compared to what the game is trying to do and that's enough reason to give it a go.
- 6.0Dream Cycle’s environments feel like symptoms of violent creative forces that only accidentally make room for the player.
