Disney Infinity 1.0: Gold Edition Reviews

Kraken Sweep

pure nostalgia run

For a game called Disney INFINITY, there sure a lot of limitations.

keept on getting stuck after getting on my ship in the pirates of the carabien. couldnt do anything not even pause the game. too bad since i really liked until up until that

Started feeling nostalgic for the original one day and saw that I could get the PC ports of all 3 games in a bundle for a pretty good price. Finally got around to playing this one. All of the playsets were a lot shorter than I remember them being since they were all able to be finished within 3 hours each. And I know this game is targeted to younger children, but all of the playsets can be played with half a brain since there are constantly arrows pointing directly to where you need to go next, with the only somewhat "challenging" parts of them being any sort of combat. I definitely like that they removed the toys-to-life feature and made it so you can just play as any character whenever you want. There are parts of the playsets that could have been changed to better adjust for this change, such as the character chests, but I understand that they wanted to keep this port as close to the original as possible. I actually first thought this game was optimized horribly since it had terrible performance and graphics on my machine which should have had absolutely no issue with it, but eventually found out that the game was using the wrong graphics card on my PC for some reason, so I was able to resolve that and wasn't really an issue with the game itself. However, the main issue I had with this port is the fact that there are parts where a controller cannot be used for some reason. I played the original on the xbox 360, so I know there is a way to configure the game to be controllable with only a controller, but they just didn't bother adding that convenience to this. Anytime there was customization happening, like NPC costumes or placing buildings in playsets, I had to switch to my mouse and keyboard, which was super annoying since I was playing with my laptop plugged into my tv and had to get up to handle those parts. When I went to try messing around in the Toy Box, I saw that placing objects had to be done with the keyboard and mouse as well and I didn't even want to bother with it. My favorite playsets were Toy Story and Pirates. Not really sure why they were my favorites, but I just had to most fun playing them. I feel like the Cars playset was the weakest of the bunch, but I wouldn't really call it bad.

Several pieces of content are missing from the game, such as the hub world and the Hall of Heroes. Buy the game for consoles instead if you can.
