That’s not to say “hey, it’s less bad so it’s fine,” but it’s something that never really bothered me like it did on Dream Drop. But when you look at Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance, it’s definitely been improved. I knew we’d hit “floaty” at some point in this discussion, and I’d be daft to pretend there aren’t some physics differences between 2 and 3. GF: Oh if there’s one thing I’m resolute in, it’s my simpery. I’d much rather have meaningful interactions like an original Toy Story, uh, story, than just recapping Disney films in an awkward way. and Toy Story are the best in the series, no doubt. As for the worlds, there are some misses like Frozen, but the ones that do hit like Monsters, Inc. Before Re:Mind, I’d also argue there wasn’t enough ability changing, but as soon as that update came through holy crap was Sora’s arsenal fun to mess around with. Attractions are admittedly overpowered and a bit too easy to rely on, but Keyblade Transformations are a smart evolution of Drive Forms that keep combat fresh. Combat is a slightly different beast from how technical it was in Kingdom Hearts 2, but Sora’s upgraded movement makes it feel much faster-paced and fluid. Is it perfect? Hell no, far from it, but the good far outweighs the bad. GF: Although I’d agree that Kingdom Hearts 2 is still the best in the series, I absolutely adore Kingdom Hearts 3 and it's one of my favourite games of all time. Related: Give Kairi Her Own Kingdom Hearts Game Already It has its moments, but if we examine it closely I think it's going to be impossible to defend this game on any level higher than basic, unquestioning fandom. I hate this game for making me bored with Kingdom Hearts. The storytelling found a new low thanks to an aggressive separation between the Disney worlds and the actual plot of the game that made everything feel like pointless filler until the final boss rush that unfolded the entire narrative in a series of excruciating, poorly-paced cut scenes, so dense with exposition they became a black hole, sucking up every ounce of enthusiasm I had left for the series. The RPG systems, like gear and ability selection, are so watered down they might as well not exist. The worlds were bigger yet emptier, unfocused, and frustrating to navigate. All of the bite was stripped out of the combat in favor of single-button mashing and grossly-overpowered Attractions, making it both unchallenging and uninteresting to play. After 14 years of waiting, we finally got a game that's worse than Kingdom Hearts 2 in pretty much every way. What follows is a spirited debate in pursuit of the ultimate truth: Is Kingdom Hearts 3 a bad game?ĮS: Kingdom Hearts 3 was the biggest disappointment in gaming history. While they both love Kingdom Hearts, they’re completely divided on Kingdom Hearts 3. They both grew up playing the series and have completed every game multiple times, including Critical Mode playthroughs. George Foster and Eric Switzer are two super fans of Kingdom Hearts.
