    For fans looking to revisit the series on their current gen console or a potential newcomer to the series, this is the ultimate compilation. Being able to revisit two of my favorites in the series, KH 2 Final Mix and Birth by Sleep Final Mix along on my PS4, reminds me why I fell in love with the series.

    For those interested in JRPGs, but aren’t fans of turn-based combat, or for those who would like to play more games like Final Fantasy XV, you can’t beat Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix.

    A great collection properly remastered for the PS4 (the 60 fps really uplift the flow of the battles) with tons of content that will keep you occupied for days upon days!

    If you bought them on PS3, the 60fps might not be enough to buy Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX. But if you want to own the franchise on a single platform, play it again before Kingdom Hearts 3 launches or if you have never heard about the Keyblade or the Heartless, this is a must buy.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix Collection is the definitive edition of the Disney X Square Enix saga, waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3.

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a quality compilation that will ease newcomers into the series, but be warned that there’ll still be more content you need to pay for in order to fully catch up with the story. And if you’ve already played through the PS3 ports, I’d skip this one and check out 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue instead, or just wait for the inevitable 1.5 + 2.5 + 2.8 compilation right before Kingdom Hearts 3 finally sees the light of day.

    Were you like me; a fan of Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 and Re:Chain of Memories but didn't really have a chance to play the plot-relevant portableWere you like me; a fan of Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 and Re:Chain of Memories but didn't really have a chance to play the plot-relevant portable entries of this franchise? Worry not! This compilation in combination with 'Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue' offers the perfect way to catch up on the story of one of the most beloved series in gaming history up to this point for quite a decent price. There were some issues when the game first launched mainly due to the 60 frames per second upgrade (excessively fast animations, save crashes and some others); however, Square Enix have thus far been proactive on these issues -- introducing 2 patches within the last two weeks leading up to the English release proving they have indeed listened to community feedback. So far, I have had a flawless experience with this game! The 60 frames per second is smooth and works really well in this entry just as well as it did in Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Dream Drop Distance.

It finally brings theI absolutely love kingdom hearts so I may be biased by giving it a 10 but it is a great remaster full of amazing games. It finally brings the superior final mix versions to America for the first time and in a remastered form. The final mix versions add so much to the original ps2 games that it makes the originals inferior in comparison. I do have some complaints like how they made 358/2 and re: coded only movies, I honestly would have liked to see the ds games get remasters like the other games in this collection. Another great inclusion with the final mix version is the inclusion of critical mode which adds a great challenge to kh2, and BBS. Now I'm gonna give a quick review of all the games on this collection (i won't be doing 358/2 and re: coded because I only watch the movies and didn´t play the ds originals so I can't rate them fully.)
    KH1FM: This is a great start to the series, It has a great story that is simple (something that you won´t get in the later games) and the gameplay is great but a bit slow compared to other games like kh2. it has a fine selection of Disney worlds from Hercules to peter pan and even Pinocchio. overall this is a great action RPG 8.5/10.
    KH Re:COM: To be honest I didn´t like this one as much as the other games. I found the card system kind of bad and the combat a bit slow. (i get that the card system works better on the Gameboy advanced original but this is the only version that's available to me at the moment and the only one on this collection.) The story is great and it introduces the best villains of the series in my opinion Organization XII (it only introduced like 5 of them but each of them is great in their own way.) also this is one of two games that makes you revisit all of KH1´s worlds again. Overall not as good as KH1 but it's still a good game just not great 7/10.
    KH2FM: OMG this is my favorite one of the entire series. The story is amazing and the gameplay is one of the best in the series introducing reaction commands and making the gameplay more flashy, fast, and fun. It introduces the rest of Organization XII and has a fantastic selection of Disney worlds from new ones like Mulan and the lion king to old ones like Agrabah and hollow bastion. The introduction of Roxas is cool because he is one of my favorite characters. I have one complaint and that is the introduction which is kinda boring and takes 3 hours long. Overall it is both better than kh1 and definitely better than Re: COM and you can skateboard 10/10.
    KH BBS: This game is great and is one of my favorites. To start it is a prequel to the first kingdom hearts game and you get to see young sora, Riku, and Kairi and see the original normal versions of most of the organization. It has a great cast of main characters and the story is one of the best and probably the most tragic. Now on gameplay ill rate the characters separately because they all have different playstyles. Terra´s gameplay is slow and not fun and makes the bosses more difficult. Ventus is the most like sora in his gameplay so he is fine. Aqua is fun because she is more centered around magic. The command deck is a fine way to replace the magic menu and bar. the shotlocks are fun and do a ton of damage. The D-links are okay. Overall the story is great, the combat is good and I like the characters 8/10. That´s it for this review if you made it all the way here and read this whole thing Thank you, I just wanted to share a review on one of my favorite games and compilations.

    Haven't played this game as a kid, so no nostalgia bonus.

    It didn't age very well. I really disliked nearly everything of it. Even the music was annoying to me.

    There's no benefit gained from mixing Square and Disney characters together when trying to tell a story that is that convoluted and stupid.

    But the gameplay felt even worse for me. A lot of button mashing, too many flying enemies and then above all, some fights are really hard. It didn't click for me at all.

    I played this and kept saying it has to get better. Well, for me it didn't.
