Most of these provide a crazy level of challenge that forces you to really master the combat system: you’ll need to have the best weapons, become adept at managing your magic points, and memorize some of most brutal attack patterns this side of Mike Tyson in Punch-Out!!. To test the skill of even an old hand like myself, HD 2.5 Remix also contains a handful of new bosses pulled from some of the later games, including a bunch of raincoat-clad members of Organization XIII. Sora’s arsenal of attacks, dodges, and juggles grow as you level up, both in power and with great animations that reflect it, and a deep roster of party members (which includes beloved Disney characters that range from Simba to Tron) all encouraged me to continue replaying this old favorite long into the night. While the combat in Kingdom Hearts 2 initially comes across as a button-mashy, the past decade has proven there’s a lot of depth to uncover throughout your journey. However, the same can’t be said for the menus themselves, which still look as spartan and bland as they did back in 2005. The stark neon colors of Tron’s Space Paranoids world look cleaner and better than ever in HD. Its colorful and creative representations of these worlds needed only the minor array of upgrades in this HD version to hold up a decade later.
Hopping back and forth between the worlds of films like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, and Mulan keeps the 60-hour adventure feeling fresh, and the self-contained stories of each of these locations really nails the tone of their source material. As someone who grew up with these movies, characters, and worlds, Kingdom Hearts games are one of my favorite ways to actually interact with them.
