If Mario is gaming’s longest-serving star, Mickey Mouse isn’t far behind, as anyone who remembers Castle of Illusion from the Sega Megadrive will know.
Of course, Mickey’s games haven’t always set the same high bar for quality, but that’s not a problem for Disney’s Illusion Island, a rare exclusive for Nintendo Switch. Starring Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy, it’s a brilliant, inventive 2D platformer with a hint of indie favourites like Hollow Knight or Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Come for the lovely, hand-painted graphics, and stay for the equally gorgeous gameplay.
