I must say I'm surprised to see so much love for Epic Mickey.

Back in 2010 when it came out on Wii, it was widely sneered at and shat on. Then again, maybe this negativity came from a minority of enthusiast gamers online and the silent majority enjoyed it.
I personally always found it quite underrated. Sure, the camera could be annoying at times, but the overall experience was just so charming and nicely reminiscent of the golden age of 3D platformers in the late 90s and early 2000s that I enjoyed it warts and all.

The hate came from the concept art before the game was shown off. The concept art was so twisted and cool. Outright horror and word of a Mature Disney game on Wii. When it came out and was nothing like the concept art people freaked out. It's been 14 years and cooler heads have prevailed.
