I often found Kingdom Hearts to be a somewhat janky game, a bit of a clunker that I kept getting told to stick with as the series continues to get better and better after this game.

I'm glad I took that advice. Although at times I felt confused, alienated and frustrated, the experience as a whole was enjoyable and intriguing enough to stick with it through the bits that tested my patience, and I ended up being really fascinated by it the more I played.

Looking forward to trying future entries in the series and seeing how the story progresses from here.
