Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Reviews
In the end, I think the base game is still entertaining to a certain extent, but passing it up is understandable, especially since a lot of interesting products are coming out one after another these months. In short, it is an acceptable remaster, but not a must-have for the video game industry.

Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a solid hybrid platformer. With floaty jumps for those new to the genre and deep references to the Disney of yesteryear, it's fun for the family, even if a bit shallow.
Though I've always enjoyed Epic Mickey, I'm thrilled to have revisited the game, as it has held up remarkably well. This remake makes it better than ever. If you're looking for that "Disney Magic," so to speak, you'd be hard-pressed to find much better than this. Full of surprises, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a delight.
While a gorgeous remake with great quality of life features, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed still suffers by being itself. Outside of the aesthetic and choices, Epic Mickey was a fairly rote platformer with uninteresting challenges and objectives. Rebrushed adds a wonderful new coat of paint, but it's still the same game at its core.
Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a lovely remaster of one of yesteryear’s surprise cult hits, and the best thing is, the gameplay actually holds up pretty well, thanks to a few new quality-of-life additions that go a long way towards making this a better game.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed successfully improves upon the flawed original in some key ways, thus allowing its strengths to shine much brighter, but significant lingering issues in other areas hold it back from greatness.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fresh coat of paint for the twisted take on Disney's forgotten edges, yet it falls short of being a masterpiece. As remakes go, the game breathes new life into the graphics, even adding extra gameplay moves and other quality-of-life improvements. However, a tedious objective system and a lack of voiced dialogue feels like a missed opportunity for Mickey's return. Despite this, the title shines in its preservation of a unique chapter in Disney's gaming legacy and offers hope that we might just see more from Mickey and Oswald yet!
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a welcome return to the world of the Wasteland. While not the most challenging game, it has that Disney charm from start to finish.
Disney Epic MIckey: Rebrushed is a joy to revisit or play for the first time in 2024. The few design flaws that do present aren't nearly impactful enough to bring down the whole experience. Epic Mickey remains one of Disney's strongest showing in the medium of games, and Rebrushed is a nostalgic and heartwarming reminder why.
Thanks to refined camera controls, additional moves, quality-of-life enhancements, expanded 2D platforming sections, and the retention of almost everything that made the Wii version special, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is the best way to experience Mickey's adventure in Wasteland.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an impressive remake of an already marvelous game. It features the story depth that is unusual for Disney, going beyond the confines of cartoonish fairy tales, while also paying the tribute to the company's classics. This is a mix that certainly deserves your attention.
Disney's Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a solid revitalization of a work with grand ambitions, perhaps weighed down by the high expectations surrounding its creator. While it remains a good game, straddling the line between platformer and action-adventure, the overall quality feels somewhat inconsistent. The remaster smooths out some of the game's more notorious rough edges and improves certain aspects of gameplay, but it can't fully overturn the fate of a title that needed to do much more to leave a lasting impression.

Although the new coat of paint and quality of life updates probably won't change the minds of anyone who didn't click with this oddity of a 3D platformer the first time, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed successfully recaptures the magic of the original, making it well worth a look-in, both for fans and those that missed it on the Wii.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a pleasant surprise. The changes made to the gameplay allowed the game to gain new life. The visuals are stunning, and if it weren't for the technical flaws, we would be dealing with a great title. And yes, it is “only” a very good game.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a unique blend of 3D platforming action-adventure for the whole family with Warren Spector's intelligent design that can easily last 15-20 hours. Or even more. It's a very good game, but some aspects of it haven't aged the best.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an awesome remake that looks and sounds amazing. I just wish there was voice-acting here!
Disney's Epic Mickey Rebrushed is full of new ideas and innovations and offers an interesting story in a dark fantasy world that is nothing like our perception of Disney's world. The use of a paintbrush and other mechanics related to it in gameplay make Epic Mickey a very unique platformer experience, but issues such as inconsistent controls, bad camera, and repetitive missions eventually prevent it from becoming one of the best in the genre.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remake that fixes the problems of the original game. If you like platformer games or Disney characters, you'll definitely enjoy it. If you like both, this will be a great treatment.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed will be a fun time for any 3D platformer and Disney fan, with all sorts of references to the past. It is a fascinating game that brings people deeper into the characters and worlds that Walt Disney created in his early days, and will be worth exploring Wasteland again for those that played the original Wii version thanks to the improvements made mechanically and visually. This is still a rather basic platformer that treads the line of tedium due to outdated fetch quests, and voice acting could have really benefitted the story scenes, but there is a great charm to this game, despite the darker tone, that will appeal to many.
Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a necessary, competent remake that respects the original, making what was already good even better. Its mature story speaks very well to older players and opens up a new world for younger ones by transporting us on a journey into Disney's past. A game with a great replay factor, simple and intuitive gameplay and a duration in the right measure that shows that the genre still has a lot to offer, bringing an air of novelty in the midst of so many more of the same games.
