KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Reviews

May your heart guide you to the other games, unless you REALLY want to experience this story yourself don't buy this for any more then 30$ and that is high-balling it. Just get this in the big collection pack on a sale if you want it.

Love the games and the way the control feels for the game. If you are a Disney fan, just play the game!

if you are a big fan of jrpgs you will love this series can,t go wrong with final fantasy and disney.

Replaced these to get a refresher before KHIII, as good as I remember them, flaws and all. Do remember that KH I and II are both PS2 games at their core, they are a little janky.

i dont understand why they priced this one higher than 1.5 + 2.5 when it is one mediocre game and a tech demo

I'm a massive KH freak and I think if you're gonna play through the series, you probably should play both Dream Drop Distance and 0.2. But consider this a trepidatious recommendation: One, these are very bad games to start with. Literally just play in release order, as these games presume you've played every game prior and are hard to follow otherwise. But also, honestly, the package consists of some of my least favorite games in the series. Dream Drop Distance's game balance is poor and the Dream Eater pets adds unnecessary grinding to deal with so many of its awful encounters, and I'm always back and forth on it due to a lot of the things it does in both gameplay and narrative that I like and extremely dislike. 0.2 -a fragmentary passage- meanwhile is an okay 2 hours of pre-KH3 to experience, but can run a pretty negative impression due to how much worse it feels and looks to the final game. X Back Cover also sucks ass and hardly worth talking about - it's really bizarre seeing them making a original movie yet it still feels like watching a bunch of disjointed cutscenes with missing context in-between. I'm just excited to get on with KH3 for my replay now, lol. If you're playing for the first time, you should probably play all the games, including the ones here. They are pretty necessary parts of the game's canon, especially leading up to KH3. And also, they're fun enough games on their own right, even if I have a lot of frustrations with them. Goes to show that the series at some of its lower points is still worth going through. NOTE: I played KH3D on Critical w/ a mod that force unlocks it, and 0.2 on Proud. The fact Critical Mode is locked behind beating the games sucks serious ass, but also goes to show how not balanced they are overall as Critical experiences.

it has everything... meow wow, aqua, weird guys in masks and hoods... and you can wear cat ears or mickey mouse ears in hell. its awesome.

gameplay is decent, but sadly ; the story has gone down to the dumpster for every entry since KH2. the diologues feel incredibly unnatural, and the lore is taken to extreme complexity in a failed attempt to to be edgy and grand.

This is the third time I've bought this game, its like Skyrim, except if you count the re-release of each individual game in these collections (both 1.5+2.5 and this one) its actually been re-released more times than Skyrim. Oh, also these games slap anyway cx

Ignore my hours, I've completed everything in this collection 4 times each before this port existed. Unlike 1.5+2.5, this collection is really only one game. The other playable entry is just a short tech demo for KH3 with no significance. That game is Dream Drop Distance, and it's utter garbage. It inherits everything wrong with Birth By Sleep but manages to be so much worse. DDD is an absolute slog to play. Chip damage, lack of hitstun, horrid balancing, and an obnoxious amount of padding all return from BBS, but now there's an even worse progression system. Progression is linked to spirits, which are pseudo Pokemon that function as party members. You're forced to spend countless hours grinding spirit minigames to unlock new commands and abilities. Spirits are so essential to progression that critical mode is locked until you complete a previous playthrough so spirits can be carried over. It's agonizing. The story is so bad it pretty much permanently ruins the franchise going forward. [spoiler][list] [*]Time travel is introduced. [*]Nobodies always had hearts. [*]Destroying a nobody returns them to their human form. [*]There's now a fourth realm that pretty much only exists for this game and makes no sense.[/list][/spoiler] Don't play this game. Watch the cutscenes online if you absolutely must.
