Those curious about filling in the narrative gaps between mainline games can view the origins of a certain Nobody in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, as well as the frankly bonkers narrative that takes place in Re:Coded. Players will witness the humble action RPG beginnings of Kingdom Hearts 1, the near-perfection of mechanics and gameplay in Kingdom Hearts 2, as well as the experimentation of the formula in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep. Even Re:Chain of Memories and Birth By Sleep, which shifted the formula even further with card and command-based spell/ability systems, are still quite satisfying as action RPGs, despite each game's respective imbalances. However, as if Square Enix made a complete 180 in the two years between the original and its sequel, Kingdom Hearts 2 definitely doesn't suffer as badly from that problem in 2021. Of course, the first Kingdom Hearts is iconic in its own right for kickstarting such a unique franchise in gaming, quirks and awkward combat aside. The first game in the series continues to show its age, especially in 2021.
