Fun game that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Nice cast of characters even if the Disney characters were just surface level versions of their film counterparts, except for Donald and Goofy. These Disney worlds were mostly shorted down retellings of their original stories and were mostly fun to go through (mainly some gameplay moments weren’t good) as stepping stones for the greater plot of the game, which were the highlights.
Combat was simple and clean and it never felt too janky at all but a lot of the fights did boil down to how fast I could click X. This time around however it was more engaging than a certain other game I said this about as it is an action game and some bosses do require you to think and were quite fun to fight like some specific endgame bosses. Offensive spells didn’t ever feel like they did much even with magic oriented Keyblades and I would rarely use the skills as I’d be saving MP for Curaga and Aeroga. Overall the combat never got dull however.
Gummi Ship was fine. It wasn’t all that engaging and normally I don’t mind on rail shooters but this was just a bit boring. It’s not like I didn’t mess around with the Gummi Ship garage either I did customise my ship with better parts but it really didn’t make it all that more interesting.
I know this is the first entry In quite a big series but I was intrigued enough by the main characters and world that it’s made me interested in the rest of the series. After I got over the fact that Donald and Goofy are inherently very silly characters and the fact that the game fully sends it with how seriously they take these characters and don’t just disregard them as comic relief I ended up really enjoying them as apart of the main party.
Overall Kingdom Hearts 1 is an inoffensive and fun experience, considering I’ve only heard it gets better from here I’m excited to see what they do.
6/10
