What’s more, unlike I.5, there’s a substantial amount of new content in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix for those who never played the original Japan-only release, so there’s plenty to offer even seasoned veterans. The playable games included here are the absolute best in the series, representing the height of the creativity, charm, and refinement it has developed over the years. Featuring the Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts II (a substantially bigger upgrade over vanilla than Kingdom Hearts Final Mix was) and Birth by Sleep alongside HD-ified cinematic sequences from re:Coded, Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD ReMix is an insane value for what it costs. Maybe not the most eloquent way to phrase things, but certainly as accurate a representation as words can come to how much I love the games involved in this remaster package. This is a game that contains a scene in which you fight to avenge the death of Goofy.

And so, after several overly lengthy iterations of this introductory paragraph, I’ve found a really succinct way to sum up my thoughts on Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX: But people are moved all the time in numerous ways by great works of art, just as I was moved by this one. Some might argue “it’s just a game,” and they’d certainly be right. I wrote the introduction to this review about four times, trying to think of the most concise and the most honest way to communicate to you, dear reader, how much Kingdom Hearts II as an experience means to my life.
