Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed Demo: PS5 Review
Developed by Purple Lamp

Platform: PS5
A remake of the original 2010 platformer, Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed sees Mickey caught up in an adventure after accidentally getting himself transported to the Wasteland.
Having inadvertently summoned Blot an evil spirit from spilling paint and thinner all over a wizard's drawing, Mickey finds himself in a fight for survival against the creatures of the Wasteland. Using a paintbrush to interact with surroundings, this platformer is a love letter to Disney's creations.
From basic platform moves such as jumping around and smashing items to get health and power-ups, the game's fairly simple and easy enough to play.
But once the brush comes into effect, it hits another level.
Using a similar mechanic to The Unfinished Swan, Mickey can hurl blobs of paint at incomplete objects to fill them in - from statues to even parts of the surroundings, there's plenty to access in clever and differing ways.
Yet the use of this - and the thinner element of the painting world - also shows that Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is ambitious in its ideas (especially for a game remade from 2010). It's also surprisingly easy in parts, and as a result, frustrating when you fail to reach the heights you aspire.
While the remake may offer extra collectibles over extra content, the demo shows that it's still a massively playable game and a great way in 2024 to experience Mickey's world.
Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed Demo is available now across all platforms. The full game releases on September 24.
