It's clear not much has changed with these remasters on the way to Windows, but that's largely fine. Those curious about filling in the narrative gaps between mainline games can view the origins of a certain Nobody in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, as well as the frankly bonkers narrative that takes place in Re:Coded. Players will witness the humble action RPG beginnings of Kingdom Hearts 1, the near-perfection of mechanics and gameplay in Kingdom Hearts 2, as well as the experimentation of the formula in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep. Even Re:Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep, which shifted the formula even further with card and command-based spell/ability systems, are still quite satisfying as action RPGs, despite each game's respective imbalances. However, as if Square Enix made a complete 180 in the two years between the original and its sequel, Kingdom Hearts 2 definitely doesn't suffer as badly from that problem in 2021. Of course, the first Kingdom Hearts is iconic in its own right for kickstarting such a unique franchise in gaming, quirks and awkward combat aside. The first game in the series continues to show its age, especially in 2021.
