    All hail King Mickey!

    This DLC gave some much needed spotlight to many characters that didn’t get a chance to shine in the original KH3, and the gameplay enhancements + new boss fights are some of the best in the entire series, right up there with KH2:FM! The return of Final Fantasy characters was really nice to see as well. Also, the photo mode is much more engaging and robust

    Also, the photo mode is much more engaging and robust than I thought it would be, and it’s a lot of fun just to walk around in places like Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands again!

The voice acting is terrible and the conclusion to one of the most popular character " lingering will" just ends, just like that within 5 seconds and pretend that he never existed or pay attention how he could even exist.

    The only good Parts is the final battle with all characters and the super Bosses with Organisation 13. But until that point I already lost any interest in completing the DLC, after finding out that the final fantasy characters where just there for the Trailer. They are not relevant AT ALL. This game spits on everything that made it so beloved in the first place. I lost any interest in playing any KH game ever again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a dlc. It's just the directors cut version of the last 4th of the original game. Definitely has no right asking for 30$. This did not fix any of the problems with the gameplay or clear up the story. It also did not even add to the story. Essentially you play as Sora on his journey to save his bae. But you're basically just playing through things you've already played through with a couple new scenes and some new lore. None of the fights are particularly entertaining or challenging. All the Fighting is separated by 30 minute cutscenes. Square really **** this one up. Expand

Yeah, just like Twilight Town: 2 areas, ridiculous and outrageous. Secret Episode is not an Episode like BbSFM's Secret Episode, but just a boss fight: thank you for scamming us. Don't buy this and save your money by watching what's "new" on YouTube. Do yourself a favour and love yourself. An incomplete add-on to an already incomplete game: marvellous! Expand

    A complete ripoff at $30. The DLC adds new story content and super boss battles. The story content only lasts about four hours, but worse is that about two and a half hours of it is directly lifted from the end of the main game.

The remaining hour and a half of actual new content was decent enough, but not terribly interesting. You get one small world to explore with no new enemies except the final boss.

    The only real redeeming quality of this DLC is the new super boss battles, which are only going to be fun if you're into the challenge. Even if you like super bosses, it's hard to justify the $30 price tag to fight them. If this DLC was priced at $10 I'd feel a little bummed out about it for the severe lack of story content, but at $30 I feel completely roped off.

    The story itself feels quite short and repetitive if you've played the original ending recently, as most of the scenes were already in the original game and are only extended. There are some new gameplay moments, some better than others, and some of them are quite good, even spectacular or memorable. But, as a whole, this DLC is not the big deal.

    This is not a bad DLC, but it is really overpriced. You can complete the history of this DLC in 5 hours, but take into account that you already played 4 of them in the original game.. A fair price, for me, would be approximately € 7.99. Maybe I would even pay € 10 or € 15 if I really wanted to keep playing KH3. But not 30.

Simple fact is this, if you were to go back in time and make Kingdom Hearts without Disney properties and i was just a real time combat JRPG, it would have never had a third game. The storytelling is such absolute garbage. I am an Anime fan and often am forced to ignore garbage plots and dialog for the sake of getting through a series. However, KHIII -Remind is downright painfully stupid. Like, downright embarrassing to think about having someone walk into the room during it's many exposition dumps. I guess it's o.k. If you are too lazy to watch the "secret ending" on YouTube, but let us be honest. KH fans would buy dog feces if it came in a Sora and Mickey themed paper bag so....

    So I've finished the entirety of the DLC now, the data fights are really good and are closer to what I would have liked from the rest of the DLC, so I'm bumping my score from a 4 to a 5. It's not enough for me to justify the price tag - half a new retail game - for ~10 hours of content, a lot of which is rehashed. What interesting developments are added at the end of the DLC are dwarfed by the myriad problems of ReMIND. This should be $15-20 for all that you're getting, and all of my issues from the original review still stand.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW:
    Simultaneously fills in the gap left at the very end of the game, explains some of the events, and acts as a slightly alternate ending? It feels almost entirely unneeded, as the events towards the end of the game felt like they stood on their own.

    It's disappointing just how much of this is recycled content. There are a small handful of new segments and they were fun on their own, but for the most part you're just playing the end of the game all over again and the experience wore me down.

    The new characters actually feel very good and were a lot of fun, it just felt weird rubber banding back and forth between my ridiculously overpowered Sora who melts bosses in mere seconds and the alternate characters having some difficulty with the fights.

    As of writing this I have yet to beat the secret chapter (Featuring fights 100x harder than anything in ReMIND), but this feels hardly substantial as a $30 DLC. It only lasts 4 hours, it's almost all stuff you've done before, and doesn't add much to the story. If you're coming for the story, just watch it on YouTube, but if you want the secret chapter I might wait for a price drop.

    Will edit this after beating the final chapter, hope that gives me a little more bang for my buck.

    The game itself isnt bad, its just so overpriced. almost the same price as mhw iceborne but 1/100th of the content. This feels like a 10 euro dlc, It also wasnt tat expensive to make since its basically reused conten for most of it. areas you've been to, bosses you've seen etc. Most of the value in the dlc are the special bosses.

    So the patch before the DLC changed a few end-game cutscenes, added a couple keyblades. I feel that THAT was more worth than this $30 DLC. And I even told myself that I should wait, see what people thought about it before buying it because it's prolly just a bunch of hard fights thrown in with a few cutscenes.

    Whelp, my patience couldn't hold out for a single day and I bought it right

    Whelp, my patience couldn't hold out for a single day and I bought it right as it came out. I kept getting confused because I was playing the end of the game again for a couple of hours, though it looked a little different (due to the free, base game patch). Then I beat the game again, and load into a room with a few of the Final Fantasy characters, who give me some lame excuse to go into the computer and fight stronger versions of bosses I've fought before.

    I LITERALLY only made an account on metacritic to come and say how this is the most expensive, most useless DLC I've ever purchased. Seriously, unless you just want a challenge, just watch the cutscene clips (super short) for the new stuff on YT. And even if you want a good fight, I wouldn't spend more than $5-$10 on this. I have never been so disappointed with cost-to-content in a video game!

    Not only is the DLC mostly just the final hours with some cutscenes sprinkled in, you don't get to choose freely whom you play as. Sometimes you will have a choice between Sora and some other character... but only for their 'canon' fight. Some characters you can't really play at all unless you consider being stuck to one spot and pressing X and occasionally blocking as that.

    There is so little gameplay outside boss battles that you can get it done in 10 minutes without rushing. The only "new" world is Scala ad Caelum, but it too is restricted to two tiny districts of one island. There is hardly anything new in this DLC unless you love battling tougher versions of Real Organization XIII members. Radiant Garden is present only as a tiny room where the Restoration Committee are.

    I feel bad having paid for this.

    Even if this was good, it's nowhere near the amount of content that one would imagine getting for 30 bucks. It fails on that alone, but also falls prey to the KH series worst pitfalls of story. Thankfully the boss battles do deliver, though the chance to play as other characters falls flat, considering they all control worse than Sora by leaps and bounds. This should have been better, or cheaper.

This constant having to go off to saveI just don’t understand this game’s logic anymore. It feels so stitched together and absolutely ridiculous at moments with how things are explained. Or lack thereof. Seriously how overly complex and inexplainable can someone make an E10+ game? This DLC confused me even more and made me care so very little about what’s happening to the characters now. This constant having to go off to save someone is getting tiresome. Yes Sora saved everyone and now everyone is off to save Sora. I’m assuming that’s the theme of the next game (seriously it’s taken 4 games to tell the main story?). But I digress and am moving on to my review of this pitfall of a DLC. Before starting this DLC, grab your notes and data charts from every single game before this. From the initial 40 minute cutscene at the very beginning that this is aimed towards die hard fans who have spent time analyzing the complex web of stories and breadcrumbs, woven and dropped into the overarching dark seeker saga theme. I even got that glazed expression as the scene dragged on. You start at the end of the game, having to go through the EXACT same gameplay with Organization XIII members. The plus? You are able to choose who to fight them as. The negative? Choosing anyone but Sora leaves you with a half powered sidekick who you barely get any time to learn their fighting styles. By the time you do get to feel the tendril of enjoyment utilizing a new character, the battle is over and you’re moving onto the next area. Rinse and repeat. Rinse and repeat. What would have been interesting is if the player was able to follow their chosen characters path all up until everyone came together. (My biggest gripe in KH3 is the ZERO enemies spawning outside of the boss rushes. This is the final world. In every game leading up to the final boss fights we had enemies spawning that made returning and running around the world enjoyable). Exploring the beautiful Scala ad Caelum was pointless beyond finding those pieces of Kairi. You could actually fight enemies here to my surprise and momentary glee. But so what?

    Moving on. We get the one chance to play as Kairi and run into the same problem we had before. Could be fun but was kinda basic and short. Although I will say that it was nice seeing her explore different things with Sora. Her character has been so flat before and this is somewhat giving her a chance. Emphasis on somewhat. The only line I remember her saying is ‘this is so pretty!’ Even with this DLC she’s unfortunately a forgettable character. The guardians of light team up was one of the best additions to this content. Their partnerships were well executed and you can see their connections with one another. I enjoyed this part the most out of everything honestly. This was very well done and brought that thrill I was yearning for. For all of your work however you have to watch the same ending all over again... BUT WAIT. There’s more!

    Limitcut is unlocked. Another maddening boss rush of over powered juggernauts that will truly test the battle hardened players. Most casual gamers will not complete this and traverse to YouTube. That said, My square button took a beating. Be prepared to see the game over screen many times. The outcome of overcoming this gauntlet and defeating (or being killed by) the hardest boss in this series is great. It alludes to a new chapter that will hopefully conclude this game that needed to end back at KH2.

    But for all of that, this $30 DLC is severely cosmetic in its contents. It wows the player with dazzling visuals, heart pumping music and new photo ability, but underneath it all is a righteous mess of a convoluted story. TLDR
    If you’re an avid Kingdom Hearts fanatic and must have every installment then this is definitely geared towards you. Others, not so much. It’s up to you if you see spending your $30 on a copy cut paste endgame with some added extras that provide little excitement. I’ve been a fan for a long time but this... It feels like Square Enix just sold me the rehashed ending at an overly inflated price. There’s no real value and overall this is why I rated it so low.

    So is it worth it… well clearly I don’t think so. I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s pretty, it sounds good and there is a charm to the characters… but the DLC really doesn’t add much to the main game and what it does add is kind of just punishment in one form or another. Maybe if you are a hard core fan and just want as much of this IP as you can get… otherwise, there are better things to spend your money on.

    Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind is designed for true fans of the series, being the Final Mix that fans were waiting for. But its high price, even for the most loyal ones, is undoubtedly its weakest and most critical point.
