They say there’s a first time for everything in life. For games, that’s especially true. Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars was my first dabble with RPGs; after I was through, I fell in love with the genre and have never looked back. With Disney Illusion Island, the hope is that the same happens with less experienced players who have never tried a platformer, let alone one in the “metroidvania” subgenre.

Disney Illusion Island feels a little shallow. With a lack of combat and a slow introduction to your abilities in-game, things can quickly become stale. However, playing with a few friends makes the game blossom into a much better experience.

Disney Illusion Island isn’t a particularly difficult or unusual video game, but it more than makes up for that with its charm and humour.

Disney Illusion Island is a great entry as a first Metroidvania for younger fans. While the slower paced movement might not mesh well for all gamers there's a lot to do in this expansive world filled with quick wit and hidden collectibles.

Disney Illusion Island looks great, but being devoid of combat, the gameplay of this Metroidvania eventually comes to feel a bit stale and repetitive. Still, Disney fans will certainly get some enjoyment out of it, especially if they play it in local co-op with freinds or family members.

Whether you're looking to pick this up and play it with the littles in your life or you're looking to play it for yourself, this is a quick and enjoyable platformer with a lot to offer. It's something that's an enjoyable, laid-back play. However, if you want a challenge you may want to turn to another title.

Disney Illusion Island is both enjoyable and entertaining, but just as the action in the game zips by with slick efficiency, so too is your memory of the time with it going to be breezy. If you’re able to use it as a way to bond with family or friends, then it’s going to have much more value than as a single-player experience. For those playing solo, expect plenty of charm, but given that it has been developed so that the youngest of children can enjoy it, there just isn’t much substance to it.
