I love NiGHTS into Dreams! epiclordsam
Hello, I am epiclordsam and I will be reviewing the beautiful game, NiGHTS Into Dreams!
On my 11th birthday, I was given the game Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed. I loved the game and I saw the NiGHTS track and thought it looked funny, so I looked it up. And that was the day I found the wonderful Nightopia.
I found that there was a HD remake of the game, available for PC, XBOX 360 and PlayStation Network so I decided to download.
I was greeted with a short cutsene, that introduced NiGHTS and the town that he was in. Then a start screen with some dreamy music. The music is great and can make you feel magic, especially "Gate Of Your Dreams" as it has people speaking in the background. (they secretly used clips from the 1990 film: "Home Alone", if you want to know more then go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCGAa79_CD0
)
The gameplay is very hard as you are flying around and collecting Ideya (Gems) and links (hoops) that sounds easy but the way it grades you is annoying. However, the Nightmare Bosses at the end of each dream are unique in their own way, as they are all different creatures and have there own way to defeat them. I like that as it isn't like in Sonic where you have to just jump up a few times and doge, in NiGHTS you get to either:
-Spin attack and dodge
-Throw the enemy away
-Keep hitting and flying off
-Aim and shoot yourself
-ect.
This is the summary of it:
"Experience true 3D gaming with NiGHTS Into Dreams. Fly through a world of dreams filled with amazing effects, mystical creatures, and terrible monsters. While playing the game, the 3D experience is enhanced by the use of dozens of camera angles and revolutionary 3D positional sound. For the ultimate encounter, use the included 3D control pad. Face your worst nightmares and defeat them in NiGHTS Into Dreams" That is exactly what you get in a small game everyone can enjoy!

My favorite game of all time! Illikas
Today, I will be covering the game NiGHTS into Dreams..., a game made by Sonic Team. Yes, the very same people responsible for the creation of Sonic the Hedgehog himself made all three titles in the series. I must be perfectly clear, however: I have never played any of these games until May of 2019. That's not to say that I didn't want to play them, though. I had heard a bit about the NiGHTS franchise here and there over the years, but I never truly knew what the whole big deal was over it. Like I said, It was only recently I finally got into the games. But let me tell you, from the moment I set the game disc for the first game, NiGHTS Into Dreams, into my absolute favorite console of all time, the Sega Saturn, turned on the system, picked up the controller, and started the game, all the way to beating the game and watching the credits roll, this was my reaction:
*drops controller and gapes in awe*
"Where have you been all my life?"
It is definitely my favorite game series of all time now, triumphing over even the Sonic the Hedgehog Franchise. The entire franchise is just absolutely perfect. The game's story is just flawless in my opinion, much like everything else in the game. It is a truly grand tale of coming of age, facing your demons, and becoming one with yourself. If anybody who reads this hasn't played this game before and is still searching for something with true meaning, they owe it to themselves to play this game. They very likely will never regret it.
P.S. DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT AWE-INSPIRING, COMPLETELY, UTTERLY FLAWLESS SOUNDTRACK.
