Nights into Dreams (Sega Saturn review)

Developer: Sonic Team
Publisher: Sega
Released: 1996

Nights into Dreams is an action game that was later ported to the Sony PlayStation 2 (2008) in Japan only.

+ Course design is exceptional, and the four unique laps / on-rails sections are full of surprise twists and turns.

+ Real freedom and joy to the flying, and despite the decreasing timer a sense of tranquillity soars over the gameplay.

+ Expertly caters to casual players, as well as those who appreciate the score attack element and rankings.

+ Bosses are a nice change of pace and the 3D engine is remarkable with beautiful texture and lighting work.

+ Presentation is top-notch and the stunning music engrosses you into the gorgeous, otherworldly locations.

- Dying at the boss means restarting the entire stage, which is aggravating and artificially inflates game length.

- Camera is too zoomed-in and the limited field of view can be confusing, particularly in the top-down areas.
