I liked Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, but I haven’t played them since PS2 was current. So I was thinking about grabbing them before the steam sale ends, but I’m wondering if I should just go ahead and get the whole “integrum masterpiece” collection.

I’ve heard 3 doesn’t really hold up to 2 at all, but is it worth it just for a conclusion to the story arc?

    its a ton of nomura minigames and disney attractions in combat which draw away from kingdom hearts imo.

    i recommend disabling the disney attraction skills because they really detract from the combat

    also given how you talked about the games, if you never played any of the other non numbered kingdom hearts games, you might not want to play 3.

    EVERY GAME, including the rhythm and mobile games, are canon in Kingdom Hearts.

    1 was the start and the only game before 2 was 1 and Chain of memories. 3 in the ideal situation, requires the user to have played like i dont remember, 10 different games.

    Thanks for the replies, folks. Sounds like it’s mostly pretty garbage, but the large amount of postgame bosses might be kind of fun if I turn off attractions. I do kinda want to try DDD for playing Riku, so I went ahead and got the package as the cheapest option that includes that.

    If I still feel like playing 3 when I get there, it sounds like drinking my way through the Disney worlds may not be a bad idea.
