KINGDOM HEARTS III - ReMind Reviews
Re:Mind has a lot of great boss battles and some wonderful moments of fanservice, but its lack of overall importance to the story of Kingdom Hearts III makes it hard to recommend to anyone other than major fans of Kingdom Hearts. If you’re in it for the gameplay, you’ll be pleased, but anyone hoping for some real plot progression may be let down.
The Re:Mind scenario is only appealing to two types of fans: players that haven't played Kingdom Hearts III yet or those that already mastered the game and want to challenge themselves on the hardest bosses in the series.
A great addition if you're really into the game's battle system and crave challenge, but otherwise a weak offering especially considering the asking price.

Nearly one year after the release of Kingdom Hearts III, Tetsuya Nomura and his team deliver a potpourri of various experiences, including a revisited version of the game's ending and the Limit Cut episode, in which we see again some cherished and familiar faces. In fact, the main complain we can adress to the Re:Mind DLC is its expensive price.

If one accepts Re:Mind for what it is, it should be a real treat for hardcore Kingdom Hearts fans.
Re: Mind only serves to remind me of all the untapped potential of this series; of all the room it has to evolve; of how its audience has matured but it has failed to do so alongside it.
Kingdom Hearts 3: Re:Mind's new playable characters and post-game bosses aren't enough to save it from feeling like a tired retread of events experienced just last year.
The New Game+ add-on’s and fresh picture-taking options are fine, but they don’t do a whole lot to outweigh Re:Mind’s weaker portions. This DLC expansion is fine in parts and wholly disappointing in others.
Kingdom Hearts 3: Re:Mind rewards its most loyal players with an unrelenting new endgame, new modes, and a more filled-in story.
Re Mind reminds you why you love Kingdom Hearts. But the expensive reminder also leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.

The Kingdom Hearts III DLC, Re:Mind does not deliver everything that the fans expected, being something sort of a "director's cut" of the original game with little new content, without answering the questions that everyone wanted. For what we received, the value of the DLC is very expensive and should be at least half the price, not making up for those who are not fans of the franchise. Still, Re:Mind is fun and adds incredible new fights that increase the desire to play post-game.

Re Mind is a fantastic DLC for those that are seeking a greater challenge than the base game offered. For those here for the story, you’ll be left sorely disappointed but with everything else the package offers, there’s something for everyone.
The exposition offered on the story's plotholes is a much-needed addition and the secret bosses are some of the best challenges in the series.
ReMind cleared up some doubts, retelling and touching up the details of the outcome of the conflict between light and darkness that has been around for 18 years. Although I found it kind of lazy on the part of Square Enix to make me beat some fights of the final battle again, after seeing as a whole what the content of this adventure had to show, I was satisfied.

Kingdom Hearts 3’s Re:Mind DLC features everything I look for when looking to purchase an expansion pack. More story mode content, further fleshing out a story or world I already loved, more challenges to jump into and test my skills with now that I had already reached the endgame of the base game as well as various quality of life improvements that improve upon the game I already enjoyed so much.
Does that make it worth $30? That's tough. In terms of gameplay, the new boss fights are a huge chunk of the challenging content, and they're a ton of fun to play. If you enjoyed Kingdom Hearts III's combat enough to want to see it at its best, then Re Mind is for you. The Organization XIII fights alone are worth the price of admission in this case. If not, then $30 is difficult to justify for what amounts to a couple of add-ons to cut scenes that you've seen before and boss fights that you might not be able to beat.
When it comes down to it, Re Mind is here to explain the ending further, and even tease more of what’s to come. It was clearly added to give the player more challenge, and it definitely succeeds in that. Unfortunately, at the price point of $29.99, it doesn’t feel like it’s worth it.
While the DLC takes some time to find its footing, there are some interesting tidbits to be found. Unfortunately, the adventure comes to a close just as things get exciting. Fans can rejoice though thanks to the added boss fights that offer up a whole new challenge.

Kingdom Hearts III Re: Mind, while featuring some fun stuff and some of the better fights the series has to offer, is a minor addition to the base game set at a premium price. I would only recommend it to people who love Kingdom Hearts enough to experience and overcome everything a Kingdom Hearts game has to offer.
A little more story, a lot more brutal boss battling equals a potentially disappointing DLC.
