    Yes, it's Kingdom Hearts on PC, but I've encountered annoying graphics issues (weird blue sprites and missing textures, super annoying twitching ghosting effect when moving the camera), audio drop outs during battles, and a game breaking bug which forced me to play the already frustrating Halloween world twice.

    Very unpolished. Hopefully issues will be addressed

    I love this game. On the PS4 I would give this a 9 or 10 (leaning more into 10), but I'm gonna be honest this game isn't perfect. There were a couple of minor graphical glitches here and there in KH1, but nothing too major. But there are a couple of weird issues with the audio in KH2. At random points the audio just cuts out and comes back in. I found that turning it down helped to solveI love this game.

At random points the audio just cuts out and comes back in. I found that turning it down helped to solve that issue but I still wanted to mention it. KH2 has also crashed a number of times. I find that limiting the framerate to 60 and turning off refresh rate helps a bunch with crashes, but I would love to at least play this game at a stable 120 fps. The game is great and if you can get over those issues you'll be fine, but I still think that console is where it's at until they hopefully patch this game and I really hope they do. The features included in this version could've made it the definitive version of KH HD 1.5+2.5, but until they fix it stick with the console releases unless you really want to play this on PC.

    Story is simple and nothing complex, dark vs light, I liked it. It makes you look forward to the next few sequel. The camera angle is the worst enemy of this game.

    Prior to the games being bundled together in what is appropriately called the Final Mix, it was almost comical trying to keep track of everything Kingdom Hearts, with six games across four separate consoles (and that's without counting future games, to boot!), but this was fortunately resolved with this remastered repackaging of the games that were originally released for the PS4 in 2017. With a base pricing of $50 USD on Steam, Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 ReMIX is a fantastic way to finally get into a much beloved RPG series, with several dozens of hours of content that make for a delightful experience. The games are cheesy and charming in the best ways, so long as you're a gamer that doesn't mind a healthy dose of cheesiness. There is a distinct reputation for being complicated plot-wise, but often that's exaggerated for comedic effect. The series is very enjoyable with amusing stories and satisfying combat, so if anyone has been interested but has yet to have an opportunity, now is as good a time as any to get into the franchise!

    Revisiting KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX on a portable natively has been amazing. The package is incredible value even today and it shines on Steam Deck. If you’ve never played a KINGDOM HEARTS game before, get KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX on Steam Deck. I need a bit more time to test the games outside KINGDOM HEARTS 1 and 2 in this package though.
