I couldn't put Epic Mickey Rebrushed down last year and now the remake has never been cheaper

With 2024 in the rearview mirror, the holiday sales have gone with it. Fortunately, January is full of deals and discounts of its own, especially for PS5 fans. As we dive deep into the New Year, we've already seen the upgraded PS5 Pro get a price drop, and that's just the start of it.

Some of the biggest releases of the last year have also seen major price drops, and Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed is no different as it's now £19.99 at Amazon in the UK. In the US, the PS5 game is still close to full price, but its MSRP of £49.99 has been slashed by 60% overseas, reaching its lowest ever price its been so far.

A saving of £30 is impressive in its own right, especially for a game that's less than a year old. Physical PS5 games do tend to get cheaper over time, but the Disney remake bounced back to nearly full price early this month, making this deal worth grabbing for any Disney fan while they still can.

 - Epic Mickey saw one of its biggest price drops last winter when Amazon slashed the £49.99 MSRP down to just £25. However, at the start of the New Year, it bounced back to £40 in the UK shortly afterward. Now, Amazon has taken 60% off the Disney remake, dropping the PS5 game to its lowest ever price at just £19.99. With January and its sales soon coming to an end, I recommend grabbing this £30 saving while there's still time.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed has been faithfully remade from the ground up by developer Purple Lamp and looks even better than it did on the Nintendo Wii back in 2010. All the Wasteland's creepy inhabitants, from the grotesque animatronic Donald Duck to the evil Sweeper magic brooms look more unsettling than ever before. And this is only highlighted by the improved modern control scheme.

If, like me, you were never truly a fan of the Nintendo Wii's awkward-to-use motion controls, then you're in luck as they're nowhere to be seen in Rebrushed. Instead of having to point toward the screen, you can control Mickey's paintbrush with the trigger buttons. As a platformer, this tightens up the controls even further, making exploring worlds like Mickeyjunk Mountain easier than ever.

Epic Mickey is also bursting with references to not just classic Mickey Mouse cartoons, but also theme park attractions and rides. My absolute favorite area, Lonesome Manor, combines the Haunted Mansion ride with the classic 1937 ghost cartoon into a Disney fan's dream. Even during a New Game+ playthrough, I was still discovering all the easter eggs and nods to Disney's past.

The remake remakes not just the models and stunning worlds, but sadly also the frustratingly annoying quests. Quests can end without any in-game hints or advice, and can't be retried unless you finish and replay the entire game. There's no chapter select to be found here, so any trophy hunters are in for a frustrating ride, especially as there's a huge list of pins and other collectibles to find throughout the Wastelands.

However, if you're a huge fan of the original game, Epic Mickey Rebrushed will be smooth sailing on the PS5. If you're in the UK, just be sure to grab it before it returns back to near the full price mark.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
