blog #videogames ##Kingdom Hearts

Alright I went into this one with low expectations because of how mediocre Final Fantasy XIII and XV were. Some of these concerns turned out meaningless because at its core Kingdom Hearts III is still a proper Kingdom Hearts game. It's got the action RPG gameplay fans are used to, no overly focus on an open world and fetch quest shenanigans. Props for that. However the game feels really rushed towards the end, so much that I'd argue they had to finish the game earlier than planned to assign resources to the Final Fantasy VII remake. More on that later.

Some may disagree, but I always preferred the original Kingdom Hearts over its successor. Even at the time before Square-Enix started rereleasing all the games on PS3 and 4 I never managed to beat KHII more than once. In contrast the first game must be one of the games I've played from start to finish the most.
