The Nintendo DS experiences of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded – one an engrossing part of the KH canon and the other Re:Coded – are merely regressed into just their cutscenes. Unfortunately, not every game included in this collection is available in playable form. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is still the best game in the series and worlds like this are why. The Disney charm mixed with the still occasionally bizarre melding of Tetsuya Nomura’s mind-bending headcanon is still a “you have to see it to believe it” occurrence, but it’s beautiful and unforgettable. In fact, in going through this collection, Kingdom Hearts – especially its second entry – is timeless. Compared to the awesome spectacle fights of its sequels it’s an unruly start, but once the franchise gets going it becomes hard to put down. While the 2005 original is undeniably the clunkiest of the collection, it’s still not unbearable. It’s a testament to the quality of the series’ PS2 originals that nearly every game in the series controls well enough compared to the bombastic and fluid modern controls of the recent third entry.

From the from-the-ground up recreation of the original PlayStation 2 game to the HD interpretation of Birth by Sleep, the series first and only PlayStation Portable entry, every entry of the series looks phenomenal in its best presentation yet. Visually, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix is at its best on Xbox One X, displaying the clean cartoony visuals of the Disney RPGs in glorious UltraHD/60fps. Combining the awesome Kingdom Hearts classics of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix into one collection. With the arrival of the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix taking a trip from its PlayStation 4 debut down to Xbox One, one of gaming’s best compilations is certainly at its best on Xbox One X. 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix neatly places every game into a lovely chronological list… Kinda. With the long-awaited arrival of Kingdom Hearts 3 on Xbox One last year, a glimmer of hope was established that maybe, one day, Xbox fans would be able to experience the entire series’ story on Xbox consoles. It’s been a dream for nearly two-decades that Square Enix’s Final Fantasy x Disney crossover would make its way over to Xbox consoles. Square Enix’s lowly advertised transition of the Kingdom Hearts series to Xbox One may not appear as momentous an occasion to some, but this solid port of a classic series’ best collection ever in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 HD Remix is a high moment for Xbox gamers everywhere.
