Disney Illusion Island (2023)

Disney Illusion Island is a great game to pick up this holiday season for families that want to be able to play together. At the moment, there are no sales on it, but it is worth checking out. Hopefully, one day it will come to other platforms so gamers on other platforms can enjoy it.

Disney Illusion Island is far from being a bad game. But it's also far from being a great game. The target audience is undoubtedly the family rather than the group of friends. Those taking their first steps into the world of video games will find something charming, enjoyable and at their level. For the others, they'll have to look to the magic of Mickey and his group rather than the challenge the game may represent. Because there isn't any. If the Disney magic works for you, it's still a good buy. For the rest of us, we'll move on to another appeal. Something like Rayman Legends might be a better fit.

Surprisingly lengthy, and in a good way, Disney Illusion Island forms one continuous game world, where there's going to be a fair share of bakctracking in order to obtain objects and rewards that were inaccessible before. Disney Illusion Island also packs an enormous amount of collectible objects that will keep dedicated completionists around this work for many hours. Truly one for those who enjoy 2D platformers, and not just Disney fans at that.

"Family-friendly platformer lacks the usual Disney charm."

Disney Illusion Island is an excellent choice for anyone who classes themselves as a gigantic Disney aficionado or anyone looking for a family-friendly game. However, the enchantment of the experience may start to dwindle like a fading dream due to the over-simplistic gameplay.
