Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Reviews
The love that the developers have for Disney’s franchises shines through in the animation and the voice acting. Watching Goofy’s ears waggle as he walks, or the way Donald pretty much overreacts to situations is something that just never gets old. It’s been awhile since I booted up my PS3 collection of the game, but I’m inclined to say this collection looks even better. Even the CG cutscenes seem to have been re-rendered.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is one of the best remaster packages around. Even to this day the series firmly stands the test of time and it’s great having so much of it in one place.
This version is most definitely the definitive way of playing this series and a great addition to the collection
There are no other games that manage to combine very different universes with as much charm, fun and steadfast game play as the Kingdom hearts series do.
Finally every game of the series leading to Kingdom Hearts III is on one platform. There is nothing new to these games from the collections individual release on PS3, but Kingdom Hears 1, 2 and Birth by Sleep are great games regardless of where or when you play them. Plus you have one more game and two big cinematic modes that covers the story of the DS adventures.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is exactly what you would expect after the recent release of Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, especially in terms of remastering techniques. Each of the compilation's titles are cleaner and more fluid... And that's it. In its entirety, this compilation is a must-have if you want to relive the good days of yesteryear without dusting out your old console, or something great to play if you never played the franchise in preparation for the upcoming third game.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix (despite its clunky title) is an excellent collection of action RPG games. With sleek graphics, interesting characters and a storyline that spans the ages, it’s a great role-playing game for both fans of the series and newcomers alike.
A solid collection. The games haven’t aged well but Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth by Sleep are excellent games.
If you’re an Xbox gamer who has yet to experience the Kingdom Hearts story, this collection is the best way to jump in. If you’re a fan of the recent third entry that was a little confused by jumping into the deep end – trust me, no one can blame you for being confused – then you have to get this compilation.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the best way to introduce the series to newcomers. The collection offers a nice selection of action RPGs with many hours of guaranteed fun, if the player reveals its problems. Some options help to ensure a good PC experience, but they do not fix the problems of the games and the package in general.

Whether you're completely new to Kingdom Hearts or a long-time fan, enjoying these magical adventures on a modern console will surely put a smile on your face. This collection is simply jam-packed with greatness via plenty of gameplay variety and memorable stories.
Kingdom Hearts series has already received a HD release on the PS3 but the most important change in this recently released HD Collection is the inclusion of 60 FPS, which is a complete game changer for an action RPG. If you haven't played any Kingdom Hearts game, now is the right time to jump into this masterpiece.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix is the perfect starting point to understand Sora's saga. It is a package with almost all games (the rest is found in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue) and because of that the collection has a lot of content and many hours of gameplay. The technical side, with the day one patch applied, is solid and it has a better perfomance than the PS3 versions. The only problem is for the fans: there is nothing new for them.

Stands alongside the best games available on PS4.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix offers a lot of content including memorable stories and characters and a great chance for those who missed it until now to finally catch up. On the other hand it offers little to those who already played it on the PS3, and KHII.8 is still a required, separate purchase to get the complete story.

In the end, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix is very good. From a value perspective, having four large RPGs ensures that it'll take newcomers a very long time before they exhaust everything. The gameplay and presentation remain as solid as ever, even though some may not appreciate the constant combat shifts between titles, and the story is more palatable now that you aren't waiting several years between releases. For those willing to jump into Square Enix's action RPG series, this is an excellent starting point.
Kingdom Hearts is fractured no more.
Without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix is the definitive collection of the landmark crossover series. While the PS4 re-release of these games don't offer the most substantial upgrades from the PS3 editions (aside from slightly faster load times and 60 frames a second during gameplay…sadly, all cutscenes remain in their original 30 fps rendering), the sheer convenience of having all these games under one collection (not to mention one console) is as tremendous as the value. Old fans and newcomers alike owe themselves to step into this adventure spanning multiple worlds (and games).
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix is the collection of the collections, perfect for every person who wants to discover the saga with the new 60fps gameplay. There are some problems in the porting, but not so many and not so important.

As a whole, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is an essential purchase for series fans and newcomers, and represents great value. There may be odd technical issues here and there, and in some parts the gameplay may feel a little dated, but the overall package is as compelling as its first release all those years ago.
