Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue continues the story and creates an intriguing lead up to 3, all while being wonderful on the Steam Deck.

Kingdom Hearts has become one of those titles that is in the same vein as Half Life, Portal and other Valve properties. Aka, where the heck is the third installment in the series!? While we wait again for the next proper installment in the main series, we get another remastering…

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 is thoroughly enjoyable, even as a newcomer, but it requires a lot of homework via YouTube clips and Wiki. The characters are varied and vibrant, and the lineup includes some classic headliners. It's a great taste of what's to come in Kingdom Hearts III, but I feel it's priced a bit high for what it delivers.

If you enjoyed past Kingdom Hearts compilations and want a little more, Final Chapter Prologue is here to offer some extra Disney magic.

Final Chapter Prologue is an important link between the older parts of Kingdom Hearts and the upcoming "3", but it is completely unsuitable as a starting point for players who would like to get acquainted with the series for the first time.

While giving players the chance to replay Sora's latest adventure in HD and adding important story information through Aqua's story and a movie this game does more to set up Kingdom Hearts III than enjoy it's own worth. A great addition for fans of the franchise that might leave new players scratching their heads.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is a compilation that remasters Kingdom Hearts [Dream Drop Distance] in high definition.

Kingdom Hearts, Disney’s cry for their own Final Fantasy is a fan fiction of sorts for the Disney franchise to have a place for all their many worlds to come

This is the most disappointed that I’ve been with Square Enix for quite some time. I appreciate that the publisher wanted to make sure that fans had access to everything they needed ahead of the release of the big game (Kingdom Hearts 3), but the overall package feels like it’s a collection of Z-list content thrown together. Dream Drop Distance could have been a cheap PSN release, the Kingdom Hearts 3 demo could be called a demo and not masquerade as a proper game, and the video could have been thrown up on YouTube for all anyone’s going to care.

Overall Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is a collection well worth every penny. Dream Drop Distance is a fun entry to the franchise, but not without its issues; Kingdom Hearts X is a fun little movie, especially for those invested in the franchise’s lore and mythos; and A Fragmentary Passage is a wonderful tease of what is to come, by introducing new elements and setting the stage up for Kingdom Hearts 3.  If you’re looking for your Kingdom Hearts fix, look no further, but you may have to wait a while until they announce the release date of Kingdom Hearts 3.
