Retronauts Episode 210: Kingdom Hearts 3
Added 2019-03-25 22:19:22 +0000 UTCHave we really never done an episode on Kingdom Hearts? Well, it's surprisingly old, and now that the long-awaited third game finally exists, there's never been a better time. This long-running Square franchise has a history as long and complicated as its plot, and we dedicate the first half of this episode to discussing the origins of Kingdom Hearts and just where it's been going for nearly two decades.
Then, on the other side, we take on Kingdom Hearts 3: a very new game that still feels remarkably old in good and bad ways, and one that refuses to be anything but itself. This week, join Bob Mackey, Jeremy Parish, Henry Gilbert, and USgamer's Caty McCarthy as the crew straps into their gummi ships to fly the friendly skies of Kingdom Hearts. This is one episode where we're not a-hyuckin' around.
Comments
I agree that Kingdom Hearts 3 feels like a game from another era that has a little bit of every game genre in it. It stuck out to me whenever a keyblade ability, or a ride spell brought the combat into 1st person mode. Though I enjoyed it, it felt like it was something the development team added simply because they were using the Unreal Engine, and not because they necessarily wanted it in the game.
