  • Disney Illusion Island reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Nintendo Switch.
    "Disney Illusion Island’s platforming may be extremely polished but it’s not particularly inventive, and nor is it likely to appeal to anyone who favours a more combat-oriented Metroidvania experience - its enemies are strictly for dodging rather than destroying, and its small assortment of boss fights are mostly anticlimactic. Where it excels, though, is in providing a wholesome co-operative journey through a charismatic cartoon world that’s well-suited to pairings of parents and their children, or perhaps older and younger siblings. It effectively gives every member of the party the means to happily bound along on the ride without ever being made to feel like a burden. If you’re after a frictionless, family-friendly platforming adventure that’s heavy on charm and light on challenge, then Disney Illusion Island fits the bill better than a muzzle on Donald Duck."

    One of my most anticipated games this year, mainly due to the lack of Mickey and Disney games. Even though the game is mainly catered to casuals, it still seems like a fun game to play; even when you're alone.
    Also this review is one of the better and fair IGN reviews I've seen in a while, and props to the reviewer who put in the "mouse to mouse resuscitation" joke.

This gets around that, plus being released on Nintendo, who is notorious for going after copyright infringment cases, assures them double protection.@@noneofyourbusiness4616

      @@finlaywhiskard3965metroidvania is just a part of the gaming lexicon. Trying to erase that is trying to erase history, and until people stop knowing what “super Metroid” and “castlevania: symphony of the night” are the term is going to continue to be used. It’s also not an easy term to replace, since it has been used to describe 3D games like Arkham asylum it can’t just be referred to as a type of “platformer.” Exploration, collectibles found through investigation, puzzles, large and involved boss battles, ability upgrades that unlock additional areas.. by using the term, you know exactly what type of game it’s going to be. “Rogue like” is another term referring to a very, very old game, but it’s one that hardly anyone has actually played, while most peoples at least know about castlevania and Metroid. Between the two, roguelike is worse!
