Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed remains a strange game but one that's compelling and rewarding. It's excellent that this Wii classic is this enjoyable all of these years after its initial release and it looks great this time around to boot. 🖌️
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a stellar 3D platformer with a deep, engaging storyline that made me genuinely care about its characters and what happens to them.
Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a great time. It carefully revives Epic Mickey with great quality of life changes to the control scheme and tasteful visual upgrades that preserve the original style. The darker twisted storyline is a delight to experience and feels decidedly taboo given the properties at play so it’s really worth experiencing for Mickey or Disney fans.
Disney's Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fine remaster that scratches that nostalgic itch, even if it doesn't do anything new with the material. Sometimes, it's just fun to revisit something familiar, and that's enough.

Visually, Rebrushed is a significant step up, with a stunning HD-2D art style that breathes new life into the colourful and imaginative world of Wasteland. Add in a revamped camera system, new movement options such as sprinting and a ground pound attack, and lots of technical improvements, this remake will surely satisfy those looking for their next epic Disney adventure.
Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a decent update of one of the Wii’s much-beloved adventures. As a Disney fan, playing through with my son was an absolute delight, smiling with glee as we registered rides from the theme parks and leaping off the sofa whenever we crossed paths with a well-known face. As a gamer though, my experience was – as much as I hate to say it – good but not great filled with intriguing worlds to explore and dated tasks to accomplish. Still, I had a great time overall and Rebrushed is easily the best way to experience Disney’s weirdly wonderful adventure.
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a fantastic remaster that manages to resurrect a cult classic in a way that is respectful of the source material while updating it for modern audiences. The story is still great even after fourteen years. Plus, the visuals and gameplay have been tuned to near-perfection. While you can't help but wish for more additions to the story and world, the quality-of-life changes to gameplay and replayability make this the perfect way to play this underrated platformer.
Epic Mickey Rebrushed is an example of how remasters can revitalize a classic without losing its essence. With refined controls, updated graphics, and a nuanced narrative, it stands out as a must-play experience for those seeking nostalgia with a modern touch. Minor performance and pacing issues don’t overshadow the charm of a well-crafted port that brings back the magic of the Disney universe.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is still a solid platformer distinguished by its paint and thinner mechanics. Perhaps the combat model needs some refinement, but it's still worth checking out. The artistic style is simply enchanting and the gameplay is fun!

HQ and Purple Lamp Studios have brought another classic back and better than ever! Though Epic Mickey: Rebrushed can be a little repetitive and still has some cameras issues, the game looks and feels better than ever.
Armed with a magical paintbrush that can paint or thin out obstacles to uncover the path forward, Purple Lamb has given players a colorful and delightful remake that is faithful to its original release. Truly delivering Mickey’s best and most epic adventure finally for last and next-gen consoles and PC.
Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a successful remake, a production that manages to restore lustre to a game that was appreciated in its time but also characterised by many macroscopic flaws. Purple Lamp has managed to limit many of these problems, in some cases fixing them, even if some of them are inevitably linked to the title's concept. However, the work done is enough to give Epic Mickey a new chance, which now shines brighter than ever before with its distinct creativity.

I don’t know exactly how faithful Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is to the original version, but I know that it shows that beneath the waggle controls, it turns out there was a pretty enjoyable 3D platformer waiting to be found.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a decent remaster that improves on its foundation, which is sure to be a delight to platformer fans everywhere.
After rescuing cartoons from obscurity, Epic Mickey himself needed to be rescued to return to action with modernized visuals and gameplay. Thus, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a remake that improves on what came before and highlights the aspects that were already good in the mouse's unusual dark adventure, but its inconsistencies cannot hide the fact that the basis came from a more limited era.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is an improved remake of the 2010 classic, now available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and Switch. It retains the original charm, with graphical improvements and new mechanics, but could have made more use of the visual potential and challenged players more.

It’s fast, challenging and enormous fun to play.
At worst, shortcomings like the lukewarm new abilities and the glaring absence of voice acting limit the remake from reaching its true potential. If anything, these missteps speak more to the game's missed opportunities than a supposed lack of quality.
