Played on:
Playstation 2 (USA original release)
PS3 (2.5 HD Remix/ Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix)
I have immense amounts of nostalgia for this game and could probably never give a 100% objective review. The Disney worlds are indeed shit narrative filler but holy shit that combat has aged like a fine wine and the Roxas subplot is genuinely tragic and centering the tutorial around it was a bold artistic choice I respect. It's worth mentioning if you are looking to play this in 2021 I highly recommend opting for the newer release on PS3/PS4/Epic Game Store as that contains significantly more post-game/second runthrough content and better balanced game overall.
