Stuck between giving this game a 6 or a 7, ultimately chose a 6 because I'll probably never play this again.

Had high hopes for this game cause I love this style of Mickey and friends. The graphics in this game were by far the best part, one of the kind of games that I feel the Switch was made for and not those 3d games that run like fucking trash.

The powerups you get make exploring and moving around fun, but the rewards kind of suck. I could be wrong, maybe you fight Sephiroth when you get 100%, I ended up at 93% before deciding to stop playing.

The negatives are heavy, unfortunately. While the graphics and movement were great, the environments and enemy design look like something that could have been used for a different game, I didn't feel like it was something I would expect Mickey to be in. You look at something like Kingdom Hearts and the non-Disney worlds still feel like a place you could see a Disney character. Here the levels felt like an abortion derived from the most random mobile games.

The movement was great, but the exploring was kind of tedious. This game is sort-of a Metroidvania but I feel like those kinds of games tend to make getting everywhere not annoying, and you get fast travel here right at the end of the game. This is the kind of shit that I imagine will be fixed in a sequel, and ultimately that's where my review ends: me hoping that this first game ends up making a great game in a sequel.
