He has been writing about tech and gaming for multiple years, and now lends his experience to cover news and reviews across everything on TechRadar from Computing to Audio to Gaming and the rest. North America. The Kingdom Hearts series is notorious for being the most confusing convoluted adventure in all of gaming. She enjoys writing reviews, watching anime and TV shows, and playing video games. It was well liked by critics and loved by fans of both final fantasy and Disney fans alike.
The direct sequel Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories was released on Game Boy Advance on December 7, ; it was rated lower than the other entries because of the different battle system and made it confusing fans that went from Kingdom Hearts I straight to Kingdom Hearts II. It was well received and the fandom enjoyed the game a lot. Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded as released on Jan 11, The game was very well received by critics and fans were mixed on the game regarding its story, but they enjoyed the new gameplay mechanics of flow motion.
Kingdom Hearts 2. It received positive reviews by critics but did not receive critical acclaim as it was basically a glorified demo for Kingdom Hearts III using Unreal Engine 4. Can you just watch a story summary on YouTube? The blunt answer is no.
These are games that are meant to be played, not just watched. If you only have an Xbox One console, the summary videos might help, but if you have a PlayStation 4, you can easily pick up Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Far and play through the games and watch the cutscenes for some of the Nintendo games, but even the Nintendo games summaries have left out a lot of things from the games.
It goes without saying that if you've made it through all the other games, you'd be daft to not see out its conclusion. Kingdom Hearts 3 is one of the weaker games in my opinion, both for story and gameplay. But it does a half-decent job of tying up loose ends and finally bringing an end to Sora's story. A lot happens here, and you might be a bit confused by the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2 if you don't dive into this game.
The gameplay is a far cry from the rest of the series though, with the usual hack-and-slash action being replaced with cards and deck-building, and can be a bit of a roadblock if it's not your style. Kingdom Hearts 2 provides some context to the events of this game, but it's worth a playthrough for a full understanding.
It takes place roughly around the same time Re: Chain of Memories does, between the first two mainline games. Its main characters do have a decent level of importance in Kingdom Hearts 3, so if you've got a couple of hours to spare it's worth plowing through the cutscenes just to get a basic understanding of the cast.
But it's also easy enough to do a bit of light reading online. Taking place just before the events of Kingdom Hearts 3, Dream Drop Distance is one of those games that feels mighty important but you can also quickly get the jist of from a quick Google search. Where Dream Drop Distance mucks up is its insistence on throwing time travel into the story.
It makes the game a bit of a headache, and while the gameplay is relatively fun, a quick recap on the story before you dive into Kingdom Hearts 3 is also just as acceptable. If you play this, slot it in sometime before Kingdom Hearts 3, ideally before playing 0. The series has come to span a number of consoles, most recently including PC and the Nintendo Switch, and various prequels have come out to more fully flesh out the timeline before the start of Kingdom Hearts 1. Because of that, it might be tempting to start the series in chronological order, playing through the recently finished mobile app Kingdom Hearts Union X , which takes place in the distant past, rather than going in order of release date.
It makes the series' gradual revelations and surprises feel all the more rewarding. The story of Kingdom Hearts has become increasingly noted for its convoluted twists and turns, and it seems as though every addition to the series has only served to make it harder to keep track of.
To that end, it's better to begin where the lore was least complex. The original Kingdom Hearts game is a fairly straightforward story about Sora and his quest to find his friends Riku and Kairi.
