Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Reviews
Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a welcome return for one of Mickey's most memorable adventures, this is just about everything one could've wanted out of a revisit to a lost classic. It fumbles its execution a bit with the performance, but there are enough novel ideas and enjoyable gameplay concepts here to make the experience more than worth your while. Enjoyable gameplay, a captivating world, lots of replayability, and a raft of tweaks and improvements over the original make this one an easy sell. We'd recommend this to anyone looking for a big-budget 3D platformer that does things a little differently from the genre norms, and of course to anyone who considers themselves an avid Disney fan.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a wonderful remake that looks gorgeous in many different ways, with simple yet fun platforming at its core.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed brings important touches to a unique platformer that can now be played again under better conditions. It could have been something more, but the remastering work is competent and reminds us of the great virtues that this Wii exclusive had.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a respectful remake of the original, which manages to modernize it and keep its charm, while giving up the peculiarities of the Wiimote for obvious reasons. The original Epic Mickey was an imperfect game but one that deserved this second life, to be appreciated and known by a new and wider audience without some of its annoying flaws such as the camera. Congrats to Purple Lamp for this and who knows, maybe now it might be the turn of the unfortunate sequel, there the challenge would be even greater, or perhaps it would be better to say epic.

We welcome the return of the most famous mouse in the world with jubilation, albeit with a hint of bitterness: the game created by the now defunct Junction Point exudes originality from every brushstroke, and who knows that one day Warren Spector and his colleagues may not give us a third chapter.

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 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 fixes many of the issues the original game had to craft a much-improved version of the hidden gem. A few irritating issues persist, but for the most part, this is the way Epic Mickey was always meant to be experienced.
Developer Purple Lamp successfully brings the Wii original into the year 2024 with mostly fully new graphics that (more or less) make the remake look like a current production. The action adventure is too undemanding for a must-have. But with its creative gameplay and as an atmospheric Homage to Disney classics it's worth buying not simply for fans of the original.

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.
It’s fast, challenging and enormous fun to play.
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.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed doesn't just succeed in reminding us of a good time in the past, it manages to outdo its predecessor

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.
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. 🖌️
Disney Epic Mickey is back, this time as a multiplatform title. The game formula is still enjoyable thanks to the magic brush mechanic and the graphic facelift operated by Purple Lamp is appreciable, as are the improved camera system. Unfortunately, the longevity remains quite poor, also due to secondary activities that are not particularly stimulating.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a wonderful remake that remains faithful to the original whilst adding new elements to improve the adventure. Mickey is now much more mobile and the revised controls remove frustrations that engulfed the Wii release. Though the game lacks challenge and includes rather basic combat, its stunning visual overhaul and new features give it a new lease of life, making it a worthwhile revisit for both newcomers and longtime fans.
Disney's Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a solid remaster that enhances the original experience with some nice improvements. Unfortunately, the experience is still carried by the setting exploring Disney's forgotten history, as the remaster does little to address dated level design, lackluster combat, and underdeveloped features like the morality system. Despite these shortcomings, Mickey's journey in the Wasteland remains enjoyable, especially for hardcore Disney fans eager to see some of the company’s long-forgotten characters brought back to life.
