Disney Dreamlight Valley is an incredibly strong early access start to a bewitching, Disney-infused life sim.
Even at this Early Access stage, Gameloft has created an awesome game here. There’s enough content here already to give a good sense of what’s to come, and a foundation to build something rather special.
Disney Dreamlight Valley is brimming with Disney magic, but it’s also a well-constructed game with plenty to keep you playing.

GameSpew | Kim Snaith | Recommended | 09-06-2022 | All of this goes to say that if you enjoy the likes of Animal Crossing: New Horizons and its ilk and you’re a fan of Disney, you’re going to absolutely love Disney Dreamlight Valley. Yes, we remain slightly cautious about how its free to play mechanics will evolve over time – it may not always be so easy to progress, for example – but our early impressions are very positive. We’ve had a great deal of fun with the game so far, and have plenty more to do. We foresee it being quite the timesink over the next few months, and so we’ll be keeping you updated on our Disney-flavoured escapades. | Read review |

Hobby Consolas | Daniel Quesada | 83 / 100 | 09-06-2022 | If you like quiet, collecting and exploration-oriented experiences, this will be like a theme park for you. Of course, do not expect strong emotions, just the pleasure of discovering more and more. | Read review |

Impulsegamer | Adrian Gunning | Recommended | 09-11-2022 | All in all, this game is off to a great start and hopefully Gameloft add voices to the dialogue as the game is quite text heavy and it would be great to hear Mickey, Buzz or Moana talk and sound like their related filmcounterparts. Even so, the text is clever and quite witty at times with a healthy dose of humour thrown into the mix. | Read review |
Nintendo Life | Josh Broadwell | 7 / 10 | 09-06-2022 | Disney Dreamlight Valley is a frictionless, relaxing spin on life sims that manages to remain heartwarming and charming, despite a few Switch-related rough patches. Dreamlight Valley’s unique identity relies heavily on fresh interactions with your in-game friends, and Gameloft will need to continue supporting it with regular updates to keep the Night Thorns from creeping back in. However, what’s here at launch is surprisingly touching and thoughtful, and cleverly plays on the nostalgia of anyone who’s ever been a Disney fan. | Read review |
Twinfinite | Kristina Ebanez | 4 / 5 stars | 09-09-2022 | The overall experience of Disney Dreamlight Valley is one that is great and unforgettable for those who love both Disney and gaming. The possibilities of the game almost seem endless because there are many stories to expand upon and a variety of activities to do. Since there will undoubtedly be more updates in the future, I can’t wait to see what characters will show up next and what other mysteries will unfold in this magical game. | Read review |
