A refreshed version of the renowned 3D platformer from 2010, created by Warren Spector (Deus Ex). The most unique feature of Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is the option to use magical brush and other painting tools to create or remove things from the game's world.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a three-dimensional platformer that is a remake of the Epic Mickey game released in 2010 for the Nintendo Wii console. The original game was developed by the Junction Point studio under the leadership of Warren Spector, a designer known for creating Deus Ex. The task of refreshing the game was entrusted to the Purple Lamp team, which has in its portfolio, among others, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated.
Plot
The remake faithfully recreates the plot of the original. The story takes place in a land created by the sorcerer Yen Sid using a magic brush. It's a home for forgotten Disney characters. Until recently, this place was friendly and full of life, but that changed when Mickey Mouse, playing with an enchanted brush, caused damage, transforming the land into post-apocalyptic wastelands controlled by a monster known as Shadow Blot.
The game's story begins some time later, when the aforementioned monster kidnaps Mickey Mouse into their kingdom. There, the hero will have to face not only Shadow Blot, but also corrupted versions of classic Disney characters, including the first hero of this studio, namely Oswald the Rabbit.
Mechanics
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a 3D platformer using a third-person perspective. During the game, we explore maps, collect items, avoid dangers, and fight enemies. The game has a morality system that evaluates our decisions and influences the story and its ending. Besides the main adventure, we can also have fun with numerous optional side quests.
The most unusual element of the gameplay is using the magical brush and enchanted solvent, which allow us to appropriately paint elements of the world or remove them from it. These tools play a key role in exploration, dealing with enemies, and solving puzzles.
Game modes
The game offers only a singleplayer mode.
Technical aspects
Compared to the original from 2010, the authors significantly refreshed the graphics. Additionally, several new attacks have been added to the main character's repertoire of moves.

PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by Michael Harradence
Epic Mickey is a stunning-looking game packed with memorable locations, a cast of unforgettable characters, and solid gameplay. The paintbrush mechanic is satisfying and feels right at home in the Wasteland without ever coming across as too gimmicky. There's a few annoying hiccups here and there, but overall, Epic Mickey is an adventure worth your time.

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a wonderful remake that remains faithful to the original whilst adding new elements to improve the adventure. Mickey is now much more mobile and the revised controls remove frustrations that engulfed the Wii release. Though the game lacks challenge and includes rather basic combat, its stunning visual overhaul and new features give it a new lease of life, making it a worthwhile revisit for both newcomers and longtime fans.
