KINGDOM HEARTS Collection Review Makes the Case for KH3 Before IV
The review treats Kingdom Hearts III as the collected package's anchor and points a newcomer through the earlier titles before IV arrives, which is the practical way to read a three-soft bundle whose contents can be bought separately.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
A GAME Watch review of KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I-III], due October 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC at 11,000 yen, puts Kingdom Hearts III at the center. The reviewer highlights the Toy Story, Tangled, Monsters, Inc., Frozen, and Big Hero 6 worlds, and recommends a short set of earlier titles to play first.
Kingdom Hearts III gets the largest share of the review because it closes the Dark Seeker saga, the storyline carrying the collection from the first title to its conclusion. The reviewer points to the party limit being lifted as the change that most alters how the game plays: guest characters from each world join without pushing Donald or Goofy out.
The four worlds singled out for attention are Olympus, Toy Box, the Kingdom of Corona, and Arendelle, with the Frozen adaptation drawing particular praise. A short list of earlier titles is recommended for players who want the story in order before starting III.
