Disney Illusion Island Announces Free 'Keeper Up' Update, Out Now

@Croctopus I am hoping to snag this one for Christmas. The update sounds pretty cool too.

Keep hoping for a good sale on this.

Time to jump back in!

Bought this on release and haven't opened it yet.
Will have to change that.

@Croctopus it’s such a chill game. I can’t recommend it enough. So well done.

This is a fun game. I'll check out this new update for sure.

I already bought it as a family Christmas present. I look forward to it. 😊

"Magnificent" is a bit too much. Game is OK.

Game came out 5 months ago and has yet to see a single discount. 😡

Very fun game. I had a blast playing through it, and it can be a good entering point for younger gamers in co-op.

The aesthetics and charm are well above-average. The gameplay feels smooth. But if you're looking for a Dread experience in Disney clothes, it's gonna fall a bit short in terms of depth and challenge.

I'm already done playing the game. It was too easy.

I thought this was a "decent enough" game, to play with my kids. As for the update, that's cool, I guess.

Played the game through with my friend and while he liked it, I was pretty disappointed by it. Generic bleeds throughout the game, as though the studio feared they would lose the Mickey license a second time, so they’d pivot into scenery and content that could be non-distinguishable from anything Mickey related.

Also, the platforming is pretty lame and the story is dialogue is rambly. Surprised NL gave this game a 9, when I’d give it a 5 or possibly 4.

@TrueBlueYoshi Mario Wonder is the easiest game i played all my life. Is this game easier than Mario Wonder. Cause i think its impossible!

Really dissapointing game, bland and simple. Even the art style was weak. I expected much more, like old Mickey games, but this has nothing to do with them... A pity. Mediocre as a platformer, mediocre as a metroidvania.

Probably good for young kids of this era though.

@Rykdrew There is even more easier games than SMW, or you didn't play a lot of easy games...
Yes, this one is easier.
You can try Return of Detective Pikachu if you want the easier game I played XD
But chill, and good music.

There's a hard mode that unlocks. Those who are worried about challenge but have others in the household to buy for can play the extra mode after your kids or younger siblings beat the game.

@Rykdrew Illusion Island is way to easy because it was catered to young players and their families to enjoy the game without having a fuss. I just learned that before buying it which was a mistake of mine. That is why I traded it for another game at Gamestop. Other people may enjoy it which if fine, but I want a game that's enjoyable and provides a challenge without it being too frustrating.

As for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the game may be simple and easy but some of the levels can put your platforming skills to the test, especially in the later levels.

I absolutely loved Disney Illusion Island, so I'm happy we'll get more content.
It's currently my GOTY 2023 (yes, above TOTK), but it will probably lose that spot when I'll finally receive my copy of Mameda no Bakeru

@Thomystic it is correct that there is a "harder" mode, however the only difference is that when you get hit/fall once you have to restart everything. I would call that more of a painful mode than an actual hard mode. It doesn't add any interest to the game, especially when the very last part is a bit random in timing weather you can go through directly or, in this case, restart the whole game again from start.

This game was definitely meant for very young children. I did have a good time with it, but thank god it was not more than 10h, I would have not enjoyed it. Music is OK, everything else is very dull and blend.

To stay on topic, I usually don't enjoy time trials, but good that they're adding a little bit of "content", makes the game just a little bit more consistent.

Outta curiousity, whats the framerate on this game? 30 or 60?

This is great timing as my copy should arrive any day now 😁

@Croctopus I have been blown away by how much I love this game. Truly a worthy follow up to Castle of Illusion.

For me this is the most underrated game of the year. Really shocked how relaxing it is to play and how wonderful the controls are. Some of us don’t want every game to be like Metroid hard.

While playing with family, I struggled to find the positives here.

This game is so aggressively bland, I swear it was AI-generated.

There's only a handful of design ideas here, repeated indefinitely.

This is electronic equivalent of a sleeping pill, producing nightmares.

You will struggle to awaken. We dubbed it "Not-So-Epic-Mickey".
