Essentially "baby's first Metroidvania," but all things considered, it's a cute and fun little platformer with the added Disney charm to it.
It's also probably the closest thing I'm getting to a new Rayman game anytime soon since Ubisoft barely wants to acknowledge him unless it's for Mario + Rabbids DLC, so...I'll take this.

This was quite an enjoyable game. Between the fluid movement, the sense of humor, and the scale of the world that's not too big nor too small, it's easily one of my favorite recent experiences.
I do have a few gripes however. The only collectible really worth getting are the Glimts, the floating energy spheres all around which can increase your maximum health and ultimately unlock the Iron Mouse mode (where you get one life to beat the game). The other collectibles being the Memorabilia and the Hidden Mickeys? No reward. They are there just for percentage and naught else. I would've liked a bit more reward for getting them but they were still fun to track down and figure out how to get.
Those nitpicks are really worth the full star. Still really solid gameplay, really fun to go through, doesn't wear out its welcome. It's quite great and highly encouraged. It's ideal for those experienced with Metroidvanias and also those who aren't as familiar and want to dip their toes in without too much challenge.
I only played in single-player but I hear multiplayer is where the game really shines. I eagerly look forward to seeing speedruns of this game.

For a baby's first Metroidvania, it's pretty good. Your current objective is catalouged in a quest log, most quests have a marker on your map telling you exactly where you need to go, abilities are never too far from where you need to use them, and there's even an "everything's falling apart" escape sequence at the very end. Also, DISNEY KNOWS WHAT AMONG US IS!
If you're a lil kid playing with your friends, you might give this 4+ stars. If not then the nice music, great cutscenes, and funny dialogue will carry you through a lame story (that has a similar plot twist as Frozen) and pretty fully Metroidvania platforming. Some of the gameplay feels nice but traversing a ginormous map without fast travel (which is unlocked towards the end) feels like a slog
This is a great platformer but it's also a metroidvania game (which made it my first ever in the genre). Loved the art style and character designs. Lots of fun running through the areas and a bit of a collectathon if you enjoy those. It's also a multiplayer game (up to 4 player) so it'll be fun for the whole family.
Pleasant enough little platformer, with a simple enough story and inclusion of the Fab Four. Loses marks for not including Daisy and Pluto and for the difficulty spike essentially going from easy free flowing platformer to a sit and wait festival while the enemies move in a nice enough line for you miss. Not tempted right now to 100% it but might revisit it at some point to complete it as I think it’s easy enough to pick up and play.
Jogo extremamente fácil. Claramente feito para crianças aprenderem a jogar plataforma, entendo que não sou o publico alvo. Joguei COOP com uma amiga e sinceramente, deu sono na gente kkkkk. Jogue se tiver um filhinho ou sobrinho para introduzi-lo. A arte do logo é linda e tem cutscnes bem legais. Me diverti mais vendo os filminhos que jogando mesmo.
