Gameplay doesn't feel as fluid as KH2, but I mostly enjoyed what it tries to do on its own. I thought D-Links were cool on paper but never really all too helpful in practice, and I thought the command deck + command style system was really fun to experiment with. Could be a bit clunky,but once things got going I found it fairly satisfying.

Absolutely loved the story and characters in this entry. Some of the context it provides for plot elements in previous games was much appreciated and the tragic endings for each protagonist left me wanting to see where their stories go.
