The story stuff here was pretty cool, and so was all the other characters you could play as, but it was pretty short and a huge amount of the content was replaying the last few hours of the base game which was a little boring.
Short and sweet, not really needed but a fun time, plus more Aqua is cool.

I liked this one a lot. The disney worlds were honestly really enjoyable to me, the story worked as a conclusion for this saga well and introduces some interesting threads for the new one. Combat was great too.
Definitely a cool evolution of BBS' combat in some ways, but the removal of the command styles was kind of a bummer and the SMT-esque monster collecting system was really just kind of boring in the end. The drop system also really took you out of what you were doing which wasn't cool, but playing as Riku was really fun and it developed the story in some crazy and neat ways.
Good. The gameplay isn't nearly as great as KHII but it's pretty fun still. The story is really great with a lot of cool lore stuff and good characters. The sonic adventure like multiple campaign system is pretty neat even if things get a bit repetitive my the end.

This game went really hard. The combat was great, the Disney movies were enjoyable, and the story was both insane and super enjoyable. I really love this one.
The story was fine, but the gameplay just wasn't fun. Card breaking is annoying, reloading cards is annoying, there were tons of enemies in each encounter, and most encounters just were not fun to play. The boss fights felt the best but a lot of them still just felt like you lost because after you card broke them they just break you right back anyways.

This game was shockingly good. I've always heard about the confusing insanity that is KH lore, and wanted to check out the series for that very reason. It certainly delivered on a high stakes final fantasy style plot, but did so with the charm and magic of Disney, with a simple message about friendship. Riku and Sora's dynamic was well written and the gameplay was good, despite being a bit basic. I think that the early game was definitely a bit too punishing however, honestly for a kids game this game actually gave me a bit of a challenge. I also think that a lot of the time spent in disney worlds, while charming, doesn't actually do much for the plot, and the final boss was far too long and not fun to fight. Either way, the game was great overall and I'm excited to see where the series is going.
