Nostalgia hits me whenever I play old games that have been remastered. Back in the day, my father used to get us all the newly released games on summer breaks. Castle of Illusion was one of my favorites back then, playing it constantly with my siblings on Sega Genesis. This reimagining of the game did so well, covering all the stages and even the soundtracks beautifully. I enjoyed every moment of playing it. The story about Mickey and Minnie, who were enjoying a beautiful afternoon in a forest, when a jealous witch named Mizrabel suddenly kidnapped Minnie. Mickey, of course, had to chase after the witch and enter the castle of illusion, where each door would lead him to a different world. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3746855836 The narrative voice did a wonderful job telling the story, it reminds me so much of KQ game and The Cave. Mickey's voice sounded the same as we knew years ago. The soundtracks are beautiful; they were remastered, and they sounded different yet the same as the original. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246649883 The 3D gameplay, animation, and characters are very well done. The game is more like a platformer side-scroller, but sometimes you move up and down the screen, which changes the perspective. In each stage, you have to collect diamonds to unlock the next set of levels. There are six stages, each with 3 levels, plus a bonus stage where you can collect specific items for an achievement. You can kill enemies by jumping on them or throwing whatever you collect on stage (Apples, marbles, candles). All stages are very well done; some are difficult, and you have to move fast. Highly recommend playing with a controller. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246651289 Pros: +Nostalgic game. +Beautiful graphics. +Good soundtracks. +Great narrative voice. +Collectibles +Steam achievements. Cons: -Short game It was fun, not VERY easy, kids friendly, and definitely for people who played the original game. I'd like to see more old games being remastered like this. I used to play The Great Circus Mystery, Mickey Mania (my ultimate favorite), and World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. And let me silently wish for Pocahontas game to have a remastered version. 𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑒𝑤𝑠 𝑐𝘩𝑒𝑐𝑘 𝑚𝑦 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑎𝑔𝑒 [url=http://store.steampowered.com/curator/32399565/]𝐹𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑎'𝑠 𝐶𝘩𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒

It's a very short game if you don't complete the collectables. You can finish it in less than 3 hours. Beautifully crafted (but too short!) levels. Pretty lighting. Kids can play it. Platforming is not snappy sometimes.

Another nostalgic game in the books. I remember not being able to get past certain levels and just sticking to the first few levels when I was younger. Now as I'm older, I 100% the game and little me couldn't be more happy to finally see the ending of a classic childhood favorite.

Caught me off guard. Short, sweet, and fun as hell. Wish Disney made more games like this! I’d legitimately play every one of them.
