It is very fortunate that they play Sora for the dumb but competent type (aka Goku), or else I feel that he would have become sick of the plot halfway through the second game and wheeled off into the sunset in his Gummi Ship. Sora, our returning spikey-haired hero, is at the center of all these plot contrivances.
#Kingdom hearts 3 metacritic crack
While this self-criticism is a great way to get exasperated listeners like me to crack a smile, there is a big difference in acknowledging a problem and doing something about it. There are many moments of levity, of course, with even a few jabs at how ridiculous this all is. Having heard my fair share of terrible dialogue and plotting, I knew before even installing the game that my experience would be substantially elevated if I just chose not to care about how serious Kingdom Hearts takes itself.
Having plenty of experience with KH1 & 2 and zero playtime on any of the other games, I knew that obtuse plot details and callbacks to obscure concepts would be the norm in this game, and they are indeed endless. Starting off immediately following the events of the previous game, we find ourselves quickly put into action (after the series' regular setup of CG J-Pop music videos and stat-development selection) in a hybrid Prologue/Tutorial in Olympus, greeted by Hercules and an absolutely exhausting screen with the words "Kingdom Hearts II.9" written as the most blatantly tongue-in-cheek meta-commentary this game pulls. The game is overall quite an enjoyable experience, provided you know what you're getting yourself into.
