TL;DR - For me, this game was not entertaining or fun to play. Uninstalled.
0/10 stars

Broken Dreams is a platformer with a unique mechanic of "shadow friends" to help you reach new heights, and a story about unrequited love. While this sounded really interesting in a description, during game play I found it just feel flat for me.

PRO
The voice acting was well done

CON
The in-game tutorial does not explain shadow friends aspect of game very well & I found the shadow friends both hard to control/direct during game play, and disturbing during the story.
Characters weren't likeable - Jack came across as a creepy stalker and Michelle came across as manipulative and heartless.
I felt the levels didn't progress in difficulty well. Some levels felt stupidly hard (10 & 17), other levels not so much.

VALUE FOR THE MONEY
Broken Dreams didn't provide me with entertainment or fun, and playing the game wasn't an enjoyable experience. There's so many inexpensive or Free-to-Play games on Steam that offer much better gameplay and provide fun and entertaining gameplay, this really falls short by comparison. Even purchased at a discount during a sale, I feel it wasn't a good purchase and I cannot recommend this game.
