Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Reviews
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.
Kingdom Hearts shines with its starry presentation and heartfelt narrative, delivering a cliché yet endearing story. The game truly excels with its outstanding gameplay, though some control issues can occasionally temper the experience.
The Kingdom Hearts PC ports are surprisingly excellent. With a substantial amount of options in 3 especially, this will no doubt please players who want to experience some of the saga at upwards of 900 frames per second. While there are a few blemishes, like blurry movies and no mouse support, each of these games is well worth owning for fans of the series. Just wait for a big sale.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is a collection that can provide countless hours of RPG action and mixes Square Enix’s brilliant esoteria with Disney’s magical childlike wonder into a story unlike any other. It is also a collection of games that have been around for years, and provides little new content to long time fans. Brilliant is a word to describe the content, albeit familiar, but a little refresher may be just the thing to get you fully amped for the future of the series.
Overall, it's great to finally play the older Kingdom Hearts games if you are an exclusive Xbox gamer. Both of these collections offer hours of great and fun gameplay. Not to mention this is the best experience to play these games thanks to the 4K and 60fps upgrades. If you've only played Kingdom Hearts III, do yourself a favor and go back and play the rest of the series!
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 and 2.5 ReMIX is a knockout. I may be 32 now, and not 17 again, but I enjoyed my time with Sora and Mickey nonetheless. I didn't expect that.
Fans will appreciate better framerate and new players get the best material to start with Kingdom Hearts series. Even if couple of titles have some technical issues.

All in all, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX is the most robust collection available to experience all of the Kingdom Hearts games. While difficult to recommend to those who have played the games before, the collection does offer a chance for long time fans to brush up on the story. Combined with the already released Kingdom Hearts 2.8, we’re just one step closer to finally playing Kingdom Hearts 3. Whenever that may be!
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.
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.

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).
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 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.

Stands alongside the best games available on PS4.
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.

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.
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.
While the story is still its strongest selling point, The game doesn't quite feel at home on the Switch five years after it's original release. With framedrops, technical limitations and game breaking bugs, this is the least polished version available.

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.

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.
