Here’s a condensed summary of the review on the Kingdom Hearts collection for the Switch 2:
The review discusses the latest Kingdom Hearts collection, which is native to the Switch 2 (also available on PS5), marking an improvement over the previously problematic Cloud Versions. The reviewer expresses their ongoing love for the series, despite focusing initially on the performance of Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and Kingdom Hearts 3.
-
Performance: Kingdom Hearts 2.8 sees frame rates fluctuating between 20 to 60 fps, with some battles performing better than others. Kingdom Hearts 3 also experiences performance issues, despite some improvements over its demo version. Areas like the forest in Twilight Town suffer from significant choppiness.
-
Content: The collection includes various titles with a locked 60 fps outside of cutscenes. There are challenges with save file conversion from the Cloud Version, and not all collections support this feature. Notably, Kingdom Hearts 1’s opening movie stutters, highlighting a lack of polish in the ports.
-
Wrap-Up: Despite its flaws, the portability of the collection is appreciated, and the reviewer plans to replay the series in anticipation of Kingdom Hearts 4. They express hope for further enhancements and the inclusion of more original titles in future updates, particularly on Nintendo’s platforms.
Overall, while there are significant performance issues, the reviewer remains enthusiastic about the games and their accessibility on the Switch.
