Disney Illusion Island starring Mickey & Friends Review (PS5)

I think the last time I enjoyed a Disney title was Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Sega Genesis. That game was a visually entertaining and challenging adventure. It was one of the best titles on that system in 1990. I remember when EGM gave it huge marks. Deserved. Well, 35 years have passed since that platformer was released, and now, we have a new one called Disney Illusion Islan...[Read More]
