    I can’t in good faith recommend KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX- for a full price purchase given how they perform, even if you’re a fan. I played the Kingdom Hearts franchise on PS4, so I was ecstatic to be able to play them on my preferred platform, but other than the third entry and Fragmentary Passage, it just doesn’t seem to be easily done. I’d highly recommend a sale and having some patience if you want to dive into them, because they’re not for the faint of heart. It’s a damn shame, but I guess not every port’s gonna be a good one.

    Absolutely love this game and series, been returning to it for literally 19 years.

    But,
    I am shocked at how many audio issues the PC port has. It's jarring how often sounds drops out/get cut off.
    This happens primarily in combat but also in between cutscenes to gameplay (as if the fade to black is missing)
    Also, occasionally the entire mix gets ducked after a loud pop.

    During combat, having set music volume to 1, I can hear potentially audio issues every couple seconds.
    Hopefully there's a patch for this in the works, but otherwise beautiful game!

    Note I am 20hrs in but I have spent hundreds in total when considering ps2 and ps4.
    Setup = 5.1, 4k, 60fps
    I've heard of graphical issues but, on my setup I've only experiences some camera issues like glitching through walls. overall, smooth visual experience.

    Ok So let me begin by saying this compilation is amazing. On Console. Yes our fears are right. The PC release of Kingdom Hearts is a hot messOk So let me begin by saying this compilation is amazing. On Console. Yes our fears are right. The PC release of Kingdom Hearts is a hot mess with many issues that you would expect proper QA to catch. The first such issue you will immediately notice is when you start the game. The Opening FMV is flooded with Screen Tears and color distortions that do not appear on the Consoles. Yes there were effects used in the Original Video but these are obviously problems with the Videos themselves.

    Next is that the Screen tearing goes into the gameplay itself. You can change many settings and make it a smoother experience to a point. But I could not go more than a minute or 2 without a frame stutter or tear in the image ruining the otherwise beautiful art style of the game. Please keep in mind that these are FULL Priced rereleases of the games that can be gotten for 40$ on PS4 usually. The game has controller support issues with many controllers. This seems to be an issue with Epic themselves not having Controller support like Steam offers.

    Oh speaking of Steam this is yet another Epic Exclusive that won't launch through steam even if you add it. Meaning that controller support is really limited. So it is another reason to wait on this release til the Exclusivity with Epic is up.

    Other issues I have with the release is the complete lack of Graphical options. The game gives no control over Motion blur, Aliasing, etc. The camera being so close is Jarring these days especially when it should have been an option to adjust the LOD. In many aspects you might as well be playing on a console. I am still downloading KHIII So hopefully it has more freedom. All things considered you can skip this. If you have a PS4 or an Xbox then grab this collection there. It is a complete waste of money on PC.

    So Until the issues are fixed with the stuttering, Tearing and lack of graphical features This game gets a 1. Don't even waste your time.
