The first Kingdom Hearts came out a few weeks after I turned six, and I distinctly remember using my birthday money to purchase it near release – so it’s safe to say I’ve been playing this series since my hands were big enough to hold a controller. While I like to think both my gaming skills and ability to reach all the buttons have since improved, my tastes certainly haven’t changed.
These games have had a massive impact on me over the years – they’ve been there when I was a happy whippersnapper enjoying the simplicity of youth, right through the tough times when it felt as though my world really was being torn apart by the heartless. Even today, regardless of all the amazing titles I’ve played over the years, when I’m asked what my favourite game is, I always respond ‘Kingdom Hearts’ without hesitation – in fact, I genuinely don’t believe I would be in this industry if I hadn’t played it.
As such, I’ll always jump at the opportunity to dive into another adventure with my favourite half-pint heroes, and have played pretty much every game, in every form, on every platform. So I was super excited to get my paws on the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece on Switch, despite my reservations about it being a Cloud version. But oh gawrsh, Sora, I need a couple of high-potions after this escapade.
