So I replayed this one recently and yeah it's still peak and easily my favorite game of all time.
I could rave about this game all day but man I love it so much. I love everything about this game. The combat, the characters, THE SOUNDTRACK! like holy shit the soundtrack. It's all peak.
This is pretty much better than the first game in almost every way and it's really hard to go back to KH1 after playing this. The combat feels so fast, so fun and so insanely satisfying. Going through the Disney worlds is great and each world is the perfect length and they rarely overstay their welcome. The final world of this game is genuinely peak gaming man. One of the best conclusions to a game I have ever seen.
And I can pretend to not care about the stories of these games but I do ok. They might not be the most well-written games ever. Far from it in fact. But KH2 somehow manages to pull me back in every time. Following Sora's journey and seeing how he interacts and leaves a positive impact on the people around him just makes me happy. The story and overall vibe of this game just fill me with raw emotion in a way that no other game ever has before. Because despite its writing and sometimes convoluted story, something that this game indubitably has is ironically enough: "Heart". Despite how stupid some aspects of the game may seem it wears that fact on its sleeve and runs with it.
And that among other things is to me is what makes these games and this franchise so incredibly special to me. If you have not tried this game, I beg you please do. It's gameplay is fantastic and incredibly fun. And even if you don't care for the story I still urge you to play it because even if you ignore the story entirely these games give off an incredible sense of whimsy that you just cannot find anywhere else...
