Disney seems to be taking more chances with video games recently, moving away from the licensed games of yesteryear and creating a bunch of more interesting properties. Bithell Games’ recent Tron: Identity is a good example of something doing something fascinating with a Disney property, but Disney Illusion Island goes in a different direction and leans hard into the magic of the house of mouse’s famed theme parks. The platformer only has a little of the magic of Disney’s physical spaces, but it’s more than enough to make this charming 2D platformer one to watch, for fans of the genre.
