Mar 28, 2017For 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.
-
Mar 31, 2017Even with all the visual enhancements like 60 frames you can feel the age, although the timeless art design still works its magic. But that aside this is an impressive package of action roleplaying classics.
-
Apr 25, 2017As a whole, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is an essential purchase for series fans and newcomers, and represents great value. There may be odd technical issues here and there, and in some parts the gameplay may feel a little dated, but the overall package is as compelling as its first release all those years ago.
-
Apr 17, 2017Without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix is the definitive collection of the landmark crossover series. While the PS4 re-release of these games don’t offer the most substantial upgrades from the PS3 editions (aside from slightly faster load times and 60 frames a second during gameplay…sadly, all cutscenes remain in their original 30 fps rendering), the sheer convenience of having all these games under one collection (not to mention one console) is as tremendous as the value. Old fans and newcomers alike owe themselves to step into this adventure spanning multiple worlds (and games).
-
Apr 14, 2017A 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!
-
Apr 6, 2017This product is amazing. For a low price you will receive so many good games. A big shoutout to Kingdom Hearts 2, because the Drive Forms make this the best game in the package. Play this to prepare yourself for Kingdom Hearts 3.
-
Apr 4, 2017Fixes were made for things that needed it, like the camera, while the graphical upgrades are going to be huge for fans going from the PS2-era games to these – they won’t dazzle anyone who already enjoyed them on the PS3. If you missed that generation, but love the series, then you should absolutely get this alongside 2.8 and experience the entire story from the beginning until Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out. If you own them on the PS3, then re-buying is tougher to recommend – although the slight bump up in graphical fidelity, as well as better optimization for modern 4K TVs, means that it might be worth buying again if you have a 4K TV and want to see the series look its absolute best.
-
Mar 27, 2017Kingdom Hearts gets a robust, satisfying collection, with the definitive versions of four great games on offer. It’s a perfect entry point and a welcome moment of cohesion for the series.
-
Mar 27, 2017For 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.
-
May 5, 2017Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the definitive collection of 4 classic JRPGs. The story might be the weapon to surpass Metal Gear in terms of convoluted storylines, but its cast of endearing and human characters more than makes up for this.
-
Apr 17, 2017It could have more content, but for a remaster it's a good work. It offers 4 games in 1080p and 60fps so if you want to enter in the Kingdom Hearts world, here you have the perfect choice. If you already played them, there is not new stuff here.
-
Apr 12, 2017Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is the collection of the collections, perfect for every person who wants to discover the saga with the new 60fps gameplay. There are some problems in the porting, but not so many and not so important.
-
Apr 5, 2017A very rich collection, a must for fans, a bit less so for those who played the various published editions several times.
-
Mar 31, 2017Do I recommend the set for any longtime fan of the series? If you hadn’t picked up the individual 1.5 and 2.5 collections on PS3 back in the day, now is the perfect time to catch up on the series ahead of Kingdom Hearts 3. Actually, the real benefit I found playing this collection on PS4 as opposed to PS3 was using the Dualshock 4, which is inherently more comfortable to use. But if you’re a first time player of the series wanting to know what all the fuss is about, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 and 2.5 ReMIX is the perfect place to jump in; even if you’re only going to play the two main games.
-
Mar 31, 2017One of the best collections you can acquire nowadays for the PS4. Four full games in the same pack.
-
Mar 29, 2017Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a collection that can provide countless hours of RPG action and mixes Square Enix’s brilliant esoteria with Disney’s magical childlike wonder into a story unlike any other. It is also a collection of games that have been around for years, and provides little new content to long time fans. Brilliant is a word to describe the content, albeit familiar, but a little refresher may be just the thing to get you fully amped for the future of the series.
-
Mar 29, 2017The wish to have all of the series in PS4 is way too attractive to those who still don't know what this craze is about with regard to Sora, Donald and Goofy. Kingdom Hearts is still pure Disney and Square magic, and full HD, 60fps visuals feel great, although you can skip this if you already have the PS4 remasters, since this one has no extras.
-
Mar 29, 2017If 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.
-
Mar 28, 2017A fantastic pack with all the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Four games and two movies are a perfect combination while we wait until the Kingdom Hearts III launch...some day.
-
Apr 2, 2017This compilation is the best way to enjoy all its Kingdom Hearts adventures with better framerates and reduced loading times, a good recommendation for those who are new to the series but not a must-buy for all who played the original remasters on PS3.
-
Mar 29, 2017This is the definitive collection, and you can have pretty much all the games in one disc. If you haven't played them yet, it's the best way to get ready for Kingdom Hearts III.
-
Mar 31, 2017Quotation forthcoming.
-
May 12, 2017Despite the uneven quality of its contents, there’s no denying the sheer value present in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix. It’s the Greatest Hits Collection of Kingdom Hearts, and anyone curious about the series or looking to refresh their memory ahead of the new stuff should pick it up.
-
Apr 21, 2017Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is a great value for fans of the series looking to have most of the games in once collection on their most current console with several upgrades that even those who own the previous collections might want to consider upgrading for.
-
Apr 20, 2017Probably the best way to get into the series, and the best way to bring yourself back up to speed before Kingdom hearts 3 is released.
-
Apr 10, 2017Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMix Collection is the definitive edition of the Disney X Square Enix saga, waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3.
-
Apr 10, 2017Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the n-th collection of the series. As usual, it's completely useless if you're a long time fan, but totally worth it if you want to catch up before Kingdom Hearts III.
-
Apr 4, 2017There is nothing quite like Kingdom Hearts. A wish fulfillment universe populated by a roster of endearing characters both new and established. This collection pulls together smooth running and visually impressive transfers of both the main games, as well as the fantastic Birth by Sleep and three other titles that will appeal to fans and completionists. There is more than enough here to tide you over until the fabled release of Kingdom Hearts III.
-
Apr 4, 2017Nearly all the series in one blu-ray, that's sounds like the perfect occasion to dive in Kingdom Hearts before welcoming the anticipated 3rd episode.
-
Apr 2, 2017Kingdom Hearts back again on PlayStation 4, in an awesome sixty frames per seconds version!
-
Mar 30, 2017A high quality collection that will enthral new players and offer those who haven’t picked up the series in a long time an excellent reason to revisit it. Minor technical issues and dated gameplay aside, it is hard to find a compilation with this much value built-in, and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the best excuse Square has given players to brush up on Kingdom Hearts yet.
-
Mar 27, 2017With over eighty hours of content, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is the ultimate way to experience the franchise and the perfect time sink as we wait for Kingdom Hearts III.
-
Mar 27, 2017Even with the very few changes from the two previous HD Remix releases on PS3, having this many classic games in one collection makes Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix a must buy for any fan, while also serving as an excellent introduction for newcomers.
-
Mar 27, 2017A terrific bundle, and without a doubt the best way to experience the decade-old series. Offering not only convenience but a hearty technical upgrade, anyone looking to catch up before Kingdom Hearts III couldn’t do any better than picking up this rather affordable bundle. That said, gamers and Kingdom Hearts fanatics who have already grabbed this game on PlayStation 3 should consider their purchase a little more rigorously — without new bells or whistles, you might feel the tiniest bit swindled for buying the same remakes twice.
-
Mar 27, 2017Kingdom 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.
