Moving from a work that not too many people will clutch their pearls at to one that I think might rock the boat for a few people, if you'll allow me to mix in the metaphors, Kingdom Hearts This is a difficult work. .
It's loved by many, but to be honest, it's kind of overcomplicated, full of plot holes, and a disjointed story, making the first Kingdom Hearts an easy-to-forgive childhood experience. It might be a better game to leave it on.
Disney cameos, saturated cartoon worlds, and wild series of events are great treats when you're young, but now we've come to expect more from games, and even the most ardent fans are disappointed. It's hard to get past that naivety. .
If you can get past that and have fond memories of Square's 2002 JRPG, maybe you can get back into that headspace where some stupidity is forgivable, but try Kingdom Hearts in 2024. I would like to warn anyone who is thinking of giving it a try.
There's certainly charm to the game world and Sora's journey that captivated players decades ago, but even though the 2012 HD remaster was relatively well-received, the game's world and Sora's journey, with its very complex narrative, Kingdom Hearts 3 seemed to signal that the series was coming of age.
At least Kingdom Hearts has a chance to evolve and grow with its audience if Square Enix chooses to do so, and that's more than I can say for the next entry.
