Description

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is a cooperative action-adventure platformer that invites players to explore the rich history of Disney characters and forgotten worlds.

Set in the vibrant and unstable world of Wasteland, the game features full drop-in, drop-out co-op where the second player takes control of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. With his powerful remote control and ability to fly, Oswald works alongside Mickey to navigate challenges, uncover hidden secrets, and restore harmony to the cartoon realm.

Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage returns to the beloved series with fresh levels, quirky enemies, and a colorful aesthetic that pushes the franchise into new territory. Players guide Crash through a series of platforming trials, collecting wumpa fruit, mastering new power-ups, and confronting the mischievous Ripto in a race against time. The game offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, letting friends compete in time‑attack challenges or cooperate to overcome tougher obstacles. With its polished controls and vibrant visuals, it delivers a nostalgic yet modern experience for both longtime fans and newcomers.
