Cropped Disney Mirrorverse — 15. Disney Mirrorverse (2022)

Oh, *Disney Mirrorverse*, you flashy, chaotic bundle of crossover goodness! Released in 2022, this mobile action-RPG lets players assemble dream teams of Disney and Pixar characters who have clearly been hitting the gym — seriously, buff Sulley is still haunting my dreams. There's something undeniably satisfying about launching into battle with a magic-wielding Belle and a tanky Baymax at your side. The game is dripping with style and just the right amount of fan-service, even if it occasionally feels like it’s tempting you into microtransaction mayhem. But hey, fighting an evil, corrupted Tinker Bell? Worth it. | © Kabam

Cropped Hercules — 14. Hercules (1997)

*Hercules* (the game) came thundering onto the scene in 1997, flexing its 2D muscles just like our favorite Greek demigod. Based on the animated film, this side-scroller packed colorful graphics, memorable voice lines straight from the movie, and a soundtrack that made you want to shout, "I can go the distance!" — even if you absolutely could not, thanks to those brutally tricky platforming sections. It’s a delightful relic of the ‘90s, complete with an awkwardly charming sense of humor and that good ol’ hand-drawn Disney magic. Plus, Danny DeVito yelling at you? Gaming peak. | © Disney Interactive Studios

Cropped Disneyland Adventures — 13. Disneyland Adventures (2011)

Who needs expensive flights and $20 churros when you can visit the Magic Kingdom from your living room? *Disneyland Adventures* (2011) offers a sprawling virtual version of the real Disneyland, letting you high-five Mickey, ride Space Mountain, and awkwardly dance with Cinderella without ever leaving your couch. Originally a Kinect title — meaning yes, you had to flail your arms like a confused duck — it’s now playable with normal controls too, sparing your dignity. Sure, it's not a substitute for the real thing, but it’s surprisingly charming and packed with nostalgia (and zero sunburn risk). | © Frontier Developments

Cropped The Lion King — 12. The Lion King (1994)

The 1994 *Lion King* video game is infamous for two things: gorgeous 16-bit visuals and absolutely soul-crushing difficulty. Inspired by the Disney movie that traumatized an entire generation (RIP Mufasa), the game looks deceptively cute with Simba bouncing around Pride Rock. But then you actually *play* it and realize it was probably designed by Scar himself. "Can't Wait to Be King" will live forever in our hearts — and in our nightmares — as we try, and fail, to navigate that wacky animal pyramid. Still, it’s a rite of passage for any gamer who claims they "love retro games." | © Westwood Studios

Cropped World Of Illusion — 11. World of Illusion (1992)

Step right up for a magical tag-team adventure starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck! *World of Illusion* (1992) isn’t just another early '90s platformer — it’s a sugar-sweet, beautifully animated, two-player romp through enchanted forests, underwater mazes, and candy dreamlands. You can play solo, but bringing a friend along makes the game a thousand times better (and a hundred times more chaotic). The visuals are peak Genesis-era Disney — lush, colorful, and full of personality. Plus, watching Donald squeeze through tight spaces while wearing an annoyed expression? Comedy gold, my friends. | © Sega

Cropped Disney Infinity — 10. Disney Infinity (2013)

*Disney Infinity* (2013) wasn’t just a game — it was a whole lifestyle, if your lifestyle included mountains of collectible figurines and a suspiciously empty wallet. This ambitious toys-to-life title let players mix and match characters across Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and even Star Wars universes in one big customizable sandbox. Where else could you have Jack Sparrow team up with Elsa to fight Darth Vader? It was chaotic, magical, and genuinely groundbreaking, even if managing all those physical figures started to feel like you were opening a small toy store in your living room. RIP, Disney Infinity — you were too beautiful for this world. | © Avalanche Software

Cropped Toy Story 2 — 9. Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue (1999)

Blast off! *Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue* (1999) sent us on a colorful, nostalgic quest to save Woody, and boy, was it a trip. This 3D platformer was surprisingly ambitious for its time, with sprawling levels, tons of collectibles, and plenty of excuses to use Buzz's laser in hilarious ways. The game somehow captured that feeling of being tiny in a gigantic world, whether you were scaling a suburban backyard or dodging hazards inside Al’s Toy Barn. Sure, the controls were a little wonky, but when you’re fighting evil with a plastic wingspan, you learn to improvise. | © Traveller’s Tales

Cropped Toy Story 3 — 8. Toy Story 3 (2010)

*Toy Story 3* (2010) gave us something magical: an open-world "Toy Box" mode where you could basically live out your ultimate wild-west cowboy fantasies...with Buzz Lightyear. This game didn’t just retell the events of the movie (though it did that too); it also handed you the keys to a full-on Toy Town where you could build, explore, and cause delightful mayhem. It was surprisingly deep for a movie tie-in and proved that, yes, toys really do live way cooler lives when humans aren’t around. Yeehaw, Sheriff Woody — let’s ride into the sunset of pure gaming joy. | © Avalanche Software

Cropped Disneys Aladdin — 7. Aladdin (1993)

Hold onto your magic carpet, because *Aladdin* (1993) is a pure 16-bit masterpiece. Released on the Sega Genesis (and very different from its SNES cousin), this side-scrolling adventure had fluid, Disney-animated visuals that blew everyone's tiny ‘90s minds. Whether you were parkouring through the streets of Agrabah or dodging lava in the Cave of Wonders, *Aladdin* delivered smooth controls, catchy music, and a generous sprinkle of movie magic. Plus, the sword-swinging Aladdin was just plain cooler than the apple-tossing version on SNES — sorry, Nintendo fans, but deep down you know it’s true. | © Virgin Games

Cropped Duck Tales Remastered — 6. DuckTales: Remastered (2013)

Woo-oo (again)! *DuckTales: Remastered* (2013) took the beloved 1989 NES classic and gave it a gorgeous, hand-drawn makeover that would make even Scrooge McDuck loosen the purse strings a little. Featuring full voice acting from the original cartoon cast and beautifully animated levels, this version captured all the pogo-jumping, treasure-hunting magic of the original while making it feel fresh and fancy for modern audiences. Sure, it was a little more talky than it needed to be (seriously, some cutscenes could have used a pogo-skip button), but it was a heartwarming love letter to fans old and new. Plus, that Moon theme? Still an absolute banger. | © WayForward Technologies

Cropped Epic Mickey — 5. Epic Mickey (2010)

*Epic Mickey* (2010) is what happens when Disney decides to go full Tim Burton — and somehow lets you be in charge of the paintbrush. In this darker, moodier take on Mickey Mouse’s universe, players explore the Wasteland, a forgotten world filled with neglected Disney characters (justice for Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!). Using a magic paintbrush to either create or erase parts of the environment was a brilliant mechanic that made you feel like a real artist — or a real menace, depending on your playstyle. It was bold, it was weird, and honestly, we’re still a little amazed it ever got made. | © Junction Point Studios

Cropped Split Second — 4. Split/Second (2010)

*Split/Second* (2010) is the high-octane, explosion-fueled racing game you *definitely* wouldn't expect to have Disney’s name anywhere near it — and yet, here we are! In this madcap racer, the goal isn’t just to speed ahead; it’s to trigger massive environmental disasters that flatten your opponents in the most gloriously over-the-top ways possible. Airplanes crash onto runways, bridges collapse, entire skyscrapers tumble down — and you're somehow expected to keep racing through all of it. It’s pure Hollywood chaos wrapped in a racing game, and it's honestly a little hilarious that this came from the House of Mouse. Mickey would *never* survive a lap. | © Black Rock Studio

Cropped Disney Dreamlight Valley — 3. Disney Dreamlight Valley (2022)

Imagine if Animal Crossing, The Sims, and pure Disney nostalgia all smooshed together into one cozy, dangerously addictive game — you’d get *Disney Dreamlight Valley* (2022). Farming carrots with Wall-E? Sharing fashion tips with Scrooge McDuck? Solving petty neighbor drama between Ursula and Moana? It’s all here, and somehow it’s glorious. The game offers a chill, heartwarming escape into a world where every errand comes with sparkles and a motivational speech from Mickey. Fair warning though: one minute you’re planting tomatoes, the next you’re six hours deep and emotionally invested in Goofy’s fishing career. | © Gameloft

Cropped Disney Illusion Island — 2. Disney Illusion Island (2023)

*Disney Illusion Island* (2023) is what happens when you take the most adorable Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic, mash it into a slick platformer, and sprinkle just a pinch of Metroidvania magic. Guiding Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy across a whimsical island full of secrets feels like playing a living, breathing Disney cartoon — with the bonus that no one yells at you for falling into bottomless pits. The focus on cooperation and exploration over combat gives it a refreshing, family-friendly vibe, but don't let the cute looks fool you — those precision jumps will test your platforming chops. | © Dlala Studios

Cropped kingdom hearts — 1. Kingdom Hearts Series (2002–2020)

Oh *Kingdom Hearts* (2002–2020), you gloriously complicated, melodramatic, heart-filled soap opera. Mashing up Final Fantasy brooding with Disney magic sounded absolutely bonkers — and somehow, it worked *beautifully*. Across multiple games (and consoles, and spin-offs, and mobile apps, and... you get the idea), we followed Sora, Donald, and Goofy through battlefields of Heartless, worlds made of pure nostalgia, and plot twists so wild they practically required a doctoral thesis to explain. But the mix of action, charm, and emotional sincerity made this saga unforgettable. Plus, few things hit harder than *Simple and Clean* playing over a tearjerker cutscene. | © Square Enix
