I enjoyed 358/2 and Birth By sleep but I agree, KH2 was peak. I couldn’t even play the third one as the stupid Disney park rides annoyed me(even though I heard that it could be disabled)
I always considered Birth by Sleep to be the last good entry to the series. Admittedly I never played the actual game of 358/2 and only got the cinematic version from the collection.
I was a massive fan of 1 and 2 as a kid and did a full series playthrough prior to the release of 3. I had a blast through BBS, but my god it was a slough in the later games(including 3).
358/2 was good, but different. I personally enjoyed the equipment/skill system, but I understand why lots of people didn’t; If you didn’t want to spend a lot of time managing your abilities and gear, it would quickly feel like a burden.
I also stopped playing after I think the first level because it just became Disney park rides. I’ve heard people say just don’t use it. But I don’t know if the game is built around using them. Like playing a Final Fantasy game without limit breaks. You can skip it, but it gives you a break every once in awhile and keeps up the pacing.
So true. I bought the collection on steam and spent hours leveling up the forms on KH2 and after the third time the disney rides showed up in KH3 I felt like I wasn’t really playing, even compared to the button mashing in 1 and 2.
The series died after KH2
