Disney Illusion Island review: Nothin’ but Mickey
Disney Illusion Island is a bit of an oddity in the world of gaming right now. Not only do we rarely see Mickey Mouse and company as the subject of a game nowadays, but this specific game is a kind of Metroidvania, AA, non-$60 game that is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.. While cheaper than a lot of other games on the Switch, it’s still a lot of money so let’s see if it’s worth the asking price.
Said opening cartoon actually has some funny moments and got us excited to play… unfortunately the rest of the character dialogue in the game delivered through text is extremely bland and we wanted to skip it whenever it happened. Worse still is a lack of inspiration and game design in other sections. The only real incentive you have to explore is to find pickups that, after hundreds and eventually thousands of them collected, you can increase your health. But, at the start of every play session, you can choose how many hearts you want as a kind of difficulty slider, so unlocking them as you play is another nothingburger of a system.
Unfortunately the disappoint continues in other avenues like the story and music. After a few interactions with NPCs you lose any interest in the story that the fantastic opening cutscene set up, and you won’t have the volume turned on for long before the music and sound effects start to grate.
