KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue

Just like the 1.5 and 2.5 collection, I will update the review as i go along. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance: So I played on Proud. Dont do that. Aside from that just about everything in this game is fantastic. I have a few minor complaints, and I must warn you, the final bosses will genuinely test your skill if you choose to play on Proud. I still remember getting my butt handed to me on Beginner even. Another great port that works flawlessly with 0 crashes. Also, this is the first KH game that feels good to play on Keyboard and mouse 90% of the time. Menus and the pet stuff was annoying. Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep A Fragmentary Passage: The shortest game in the entire series. Also thank goodness I can finally see it at higher than 25 fps on from when I was on ps4 lmao. Another good addition to the collection, and the first game in the series to get a major graphical overhaul. Cant wait to play KH3 on here to see how beautiful it is. Kingdom Hearts Union X Back Cover: Its about an hour long and is very well made. The downside is that there is a lot that is left out. If you watch the cutscene fandub of the actual games cutscenes it crosses Back Cover into it at the right times story wise. Otherwise its a good addition with no issues that I personally encountered. All in all another fantastic collection well worth your money and time. plz bring Melody of Memory to Steam thx

I wish Steam allowed me to do mixed reviews, as that’s more in line with my feelings about this collection, but negative will have to do. For $60 as the base price, you are paying for 1 game, a tech demo, and a ‘movie’ that is just the cutscenes of a mobile/gacha game that you cannot play at all. Now, luckily, I bought this at a sale a few months back for only $56 because I bought the bundle, but even then this should be cheaper than the first collection. At least with the first collection you get 4 full games and 2 ‘movies’, which is worth the price considering Kingdom Hearts AND Kingdom Hearts 2 are some of the greatest games I have ever played, but sure, Square lmfao. I’m going to review this collection without spoiling the contents of the story (then again, it’s Kingdom Hearts; the story is confusing as it already is lmfao) Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance: This game is the only actual game in the collection, and you know what? Among the handheld games, this is probably my favorite in terms of gameplay; the fast, fluid movement is genuinely fun! And the combat is super fast, and it reminds me of how much I love Kingdom Hearts 2’s gameplay. The worlds are genuinely really good for the most part; the Pinocchio world is my favorite in the game, and the opening is probably one of my favorite openings in the series next to Kingdom Hearts 2. Now I said it in my review for the first collection that I have no real nostalgia for Kingdom Hearts. My only memories are commercials, NewGrounds animations, and, believe it or not, the 3DS eShop demo for DDD, as I didn’t have a PS2 as a kid. So, out of all the games, this is the only one I have some sort of connection to. Now, what holds this game back is actually some of the gameplay choices of the game, as I think it’s baffling. The first being the Dream Eaters, this isn’t the worst choice, but I forgot these things were even in the game. This is just a lame version of Pokémon (I do love the designs of them though), and while they do kind of come in handy at the end, you could remove them from the game, and the game wouldn’t change at all. But that’s not as bad compared to the cluster ♥♥♥♥ that is the drop mechanic. So you play as Sora and Riku, time travel stuff yada yada, but how the drop mechanic works is this: the timer goes down for each character, and once that timer finishes, you are forced to swap to either Sora or Riku, depending on who you play as. Why? Why can’t I play as both of them individually 2 times to complete the world? Why am I forced? And the worst example is boss fights: let’s say you are SO close to beating a boss, but the timer runs out, you are FORCED to drop into the character you aren’t playing as, go into a menu, drop AGAIN to the character you want to play, and guess what? YOU HAVE TO START THE BOSS FIGHT AGAIN. This ♥♥♥♥ made me almost drop (pun intended) the game entirely. Now you do have an item that gives you more time so you don’t run out of time, but why is this in a game? This isn’t Majora’s Mask where the timer actually has a reason. It’s bad game design i’m sorry. The story… is a story. I got half of it, but the rest I was confused about; even watching Re:coded, I was still confused about DDD’s story, and that’s because of the usage of time travel. While I did like this game more than Birth By Sleep (gameplay), I wish I could really love it. Kingdom Hearts: 0.2 Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage: I call this the Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes of the KH series, as it’s not actually a game; it’s a 2 - 3 hour-long tech demo, but with that being said, I actually really enjoyed this. The puzzles were fun. The boss fights were really good! (even if it reused some fights), The combat, which I am THANKFUL to come back to the original KH combat, and the story, I really was engaged. While I didn’t fall head over heels for the story as I did with 358/2 Days, I still love Aqua, and she became my top 3 characters in Kingdom Hearts from this game, and seeing her alone in the darkness with her thoughts is genuinely sad, especially from the events of Birth By Sleep. I think what brings it down is that it’s short, like WAY too short to really praise it fully, but other than that, I actually really thought this was good. Also, this is one of the worst titles I’ve ever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ read. Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover: A ‘movie’ from a mobile game that you can’t even play, so they ported the cutscenes. Pretty much it takes place LONG before the Keyblade War, and I thought this was boring. Important to the lore for sure, but it’s a nothing burger at the same time. I want to say, despite my issues with some of these games, I love Kingdom Hearts, and I get why people love this series. Kingdom Hearts is one of my favorite game franchises next to Metal Gear Solid and Zelda, but I can’t pretend Kingdom Hearts isn’t perfect, as some games are amazing, some games have flaws, and some games are just okay. I think 0.2 and DDD are well respected 7/10’s and I think that’s a fair rating. Now I got KH3 to play and watch other cutscenes on YouTube because Square SHUT DOWN THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ MOBILE GAMES, LIKE WHY???? Get this on a sale. Especially now with the Kingdom Hearts franchise sale.

The KH 3D port is a success; it lets those of us who, like me, don’t own a handheld console experience this adventure on an HD console. The X BACK COVER film is a real pleasure to watch; it’s well-made and adds real value to this compilation and the story. I have more mixed feelings about 0.2, which even though it’s very enjoyable to play and replay to complete all the objectives is rather short. This 0.2 installment could very well have served as a prologue to KH III, just like the opening with Roxas in KH II. Graphically, however, it’s well done.

May your heart be your guiding key, we miss you Kairi.

sadece kh oynamak icin xbox gamepadi aldim hersey deger

I finally beat KH DDD on PC, but I'm running into an issue. The game crashes before I can get to the end-game Save Screen. I'm probably going to skip doing this KH game at Level 1 because I won't be able to unlock the Optional Boss. Other people have had this same exact issues, so anyone who plays KH DDD it's better to play it on PS4 as much as I hate saying that. I've even tried lowering the graphics setting to as low as it can go. It's so dumb. Square Enix really wants more people to play their games, they had better start acting like it.

No tiene nivel de la sirenita, eso lo hace 10/10

Im rating this positive, entirely because there is no option to create a neutral review. While this collection does contain roughly 50 hours of content if you are going for completion such as myself, there is not enough content to justify the price tag or the contents of the collection. If you are going to be buying this collection i would only reccomend purcahsing it during a sale when there is a steep discount, the content is not worth £50 In order to be fair to each game i am going to seperate them ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dream Drop Distance HD: This is the premier gmae of the collection with it being the majority of the content by a landslide. i did enjoy my time in this game however i do have some issues The spirit system whilst novel at the beggining only becomes more frustrating as the game progresses All of the player's abilities are tied to the spirits with a majority of them only taking effect if the player has that spirit equipped, this results in it never feeling as though the player is progressing or becoming more powerful as a smart player would be routinely changing the party to allow themselves to unlock the permanent abilities The second issue with the spirit system is the creation, in order to create spirits you need to collect materials. Early on this isnt an issue as the player is able to quite quickly amass the materials to create the spirits however not long after traverse town is finished the player hits a roadblock where many spirits require rare materials in order to create. This isnt inherently an issue but the game doesnt provide enough of these rare materials and i personally spent at least an hour scrolling through the creation menu to see if i can create new spirits to no avail. Late in the game it results in the player feeling as though their progress has stalled since they arent able to experiment with new spirits I think this could be heavily improved upon, which in my opinion could best be done by making all abilities permanent and or increasing the amount of rare materials. While not as significant an issue i do think the drop system could use some rework aswell, although it only occurred once in my playthrough the drop meter can expire during story events such as boss fights, i experienced a particularly bad example of this as the end of world boss fight this occurred on was directly before the game requires the player has beaten all worlds up to this point, meaning that after returning to the character that inititially dropped i had to manually drop back to the other. Despite these gripes i did still enjoy this game though, most of my other issues are minor balance changes or are in every other game of the franchise up to this point. I did also find the flowmotion system really fun (although it does trivialise movement). I know this seems overly negative but i did enjoy this game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover Not much critical to say about this as it is a 1 hour short film instead of the game. The voice acting is very good, the voices fit the characters and the acting fits the mood throughout although the lip syncing is off in a few places The writing is equally good, the character's actions feel believeable and make sense even without the context of the game this movie is based on overall very good but doesnt effect my overall opinion too much ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kingdom Heats 0.2 Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage This is the first game in the series that is made in unreal engine, although the shift in graphics and art style was jarring initially it still looks very good and maintains a similar art style to the games from the kingdom engine. I will say however that the special effects and lighting look amazing and the game runs excellently despite that. My main complaint is that this game is short. It took me 4 hours to finish the campaign and a total of 8 hours for near completion (without new game plus or level objectives), although most of the post game time was spent fighting the secret boss fight (which was not helped by being underleveled) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overall As i stated earlier, this collection is not worth it at full price, only buy this if you are already a fan AND the collection is on sale If i could make a neutral review, this would be one
