Disney Illusion Island has finally made its way to Steam, more than a year after it first launched on the Nintendo Switch. At first glance, it’s got everything going for it, beautiful animation, a charming cast of characters, and a whimsical world that practically begs you to jump in. You play as Mickey, Minnie, Donald, or Goofy on a lighthearted co-op platforming adventure across the island of Monoth. But there’s a catch. The game costs $30 with no launch discount, and there’s been no effort made to offer regional pricing. For a story that lasts about six and a half hours and doesn’t offer much replay value, that’s a tough sell in 2025 especially for a year old game.


1) The game’s hand-drawn art is genuinely beautiful and full of personality. Every frame feels like it came straight from a classic cartoon.

2) Co-op is handled really well, with mechanics that make it easy for newcomers and younger players to have fun without getting overwhelmed.

3) Each of the characters brings their own charm, with fun animations and lighthearted interactions that add a lot of heart.

4) The focus on platforming without combat helps keep things simple and stress-free, which is great for relaxed play sessions.

5) On the technical side, the game runs very smoothly on PC and the Steam Deck, with responsive controls and no major bugs or glitches.


1) The $30 price tag feels way too steep for a short game that’s already been out for over a year.

2) The lack of regional pricing is really disappointing and makes the game unaffordable for many players in lower-income regions.

3) The gameplay gets repetitive pretty quickly, with platforming that doesn’t really evolve or offer new surprises after the first couple of hours.

4) Once you finish the story, there’s very little incentive to play again since there’s no unlockable content or alternative paths.

5) While co-op is fun, every character plays exactly the same, and the game doesn’t support drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, which feels like a missed opportunity.


Disney Illusion Island is, at its core, a well made and genuinely enjoyable platformer. The animation is gorgeous, the characters are full of life, and the co-op gameplay makes for some heartwarming, lighthearted fun. It’s clear that a lot of care went into creating a charming world that players of all ages can enjoy. But despite all of that, it’s hard to ignore the feeling that the experience is held back by a few frustrating choices. The steep $40 price tag, lack of regional pricing, and short runtime leave a sour taste that’s hard to shake. It’s a good game that is one worth playing but it deserved a better, more thoughtful release on PC.

Would mean a lot if you supported me there, would help me create more quality reviews.

A cute and fun 2D platformer with lots of love to detail in the animation of the characters and story parts.

I had a good time playing it on the Switch when it first came out and am now replaying it on the Steam Deck.

A very fun and cute time waster that no doubt lead me to wanting to 100% it. The price ain't that bad either, it's pretty reasonable for a game like this!
