    Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a necessary and competent remake that respects the original, making what was already good even better. Its mature story speaks well to older players and opens up a new world for younger players by taking us on a journey through Disney's past. A game with a great replay factor, simple and intuitive gameplay, and a length that is just right, showing that the genre still has a lot to offer, bringing a touch of novelty amidst so many games that are more of the same.

    Epic Mickey Rebrushed is another spectacular remaster, and we’ve had a few in recent history. It’s an amazing upgrade to the original, not just in the visuals department but also in its great adaptation for the modern consoles. If you want to play a dark and gritty(ish) Mickey adventure, Epic Mickey Rebrushed is for you.

    Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is a pleasant surprise and just as much a love letter to Warren’s Spector game as that creation was to the Disney Universe itself. The ability to change the surrounding world and see the consequences of your actions still feels fresh and engaging. The new addition might not be groundbreaking, but they help leave behind the shackles of the Wii and turn the game into an experience without frustrations caused by certain limitations. And even better news is that in the future we might see a remake of the sequel, making the story whole.

    Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a renovation of the original game rather than just a fresh coat of paint. Of course, it's a remake that stays loyal to the plot, combat, and level design while making improvements to the graphics, controls, and camera—aspects of the game that were criticized on the 2010 version. It also has some intriguing changes that this cult game never had before.

    The changes have certainly made Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed a more fluid experience. It doesn't bring a lot of challenge but the new visuals have given plenty of life to the environments, even if they're mostly grim and dark. The control changes feel natural. The backtracking in the middle can slightly dampen the pace but, on the whole, I found the experience to be straight-forward. The presentation shines as a wander through some of Disney's vintage heyday but behind the nostalgia is a competent platformer.
  6. Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a frustratingly faithful remake of a game that was already pretty decent. It looks great, and the quality of life additions make it much more enjoyable, but if you didn’t click with the original, there’s not much here that will change your mind.

    This re-release of Disney Epic Mickey is a fine reunion that excels for its creative world, atmosphere and visual presentation, were it not for a game breaking bug toward the end. In addition, the lack of voice-acting is a bit uncomfortable in the experience and it's odd that you can't revisit levels afterwards because of the many secrets to discover. Some points of criticism, and while those can be looked past, the game breaking bug is a problem which has a considerable effect on the score.
