The Re Mind expansion even took away any sense of finality to the game. He’s more of a dimwitted, unnaturally cheerful deus ex machina at this point than a character. The mishandling of Sora, the nominal protagonist, is the most damaging to the story. It’s particularly disheartening (no pun intended) that the heroes written most poorly are the most important: the original team of Sora, Riku, and Kairi. And a lineup of heroic characters so overstuffed that no game could have given them all a satisfying payoff.

An incomprehensible story for anyone who didn’t have a 2000-word guide to the series at the ready. A roster of recycled villains (now called the Real Organization XIII) attempting a variation on evil schemes from earlier games. A diminished collection of Disney worlds, all of them virtually meaningless to the larger story. Fourteen years since the last numbered title in the series, fourteen years of hopes and expectations built up, and for what? Monologue after tedious monologue of exposition and lore drops. To me, it’s the only piece of media bearing the Walt Disney signature that was a more excruciating experience than Maleficent. To some, Kingdom Hearts III was a moving and worthy conclusion to everything that had come before. Its story material seems poised to matter in the future, but it’s only tangentially connected with the Dark Seeker saga.) (With one caveat: the mobile game Kingdom Hearts χ, under all its various names, is out of consideration. Here are all the Kingdom Hearts games to date, from worst to best, with a focus on the narrative. A story this complicated needs revisiting anyway. In the meantime, there’s plenty to revisit in this most unusually appealing of crossovers, good and bad. Based on hints from recent games, all signs point to a future as convoluted as the first era for the series became – a prospect that’s red meat to some fans, exasperating for others.īut it will be a long wait either way, with Nomura and his team still recharging from the last entry. 2019’s Kingdom Hearts III may have been the conclusion of the “Dark Seeker” saga, but series director Tetsuya Nomura has said that ideas are “ percolating” for what comes next. If the reaction to last month’s Smash news is any indication, the world is ready for more Kingdom Hearts.
