Look, we may have been a little harsh with our article talking about the release of the Cloud versions of the Kingdom Hearts series coming to Switch. Of course, Cloud gaming has a place, but often it can stutter, lag, and generally ruin a gameplay experience. Then, the user must have a stable internet connection for it to even work. However, sometimes, like with Xbox Cloud Gaming, it can be a nice supplement to a service.
So now that the demos are out in the wild, it’s fair to have a look at the performance of these titles, and see if they can justify the eye-watering £80 ($90) price, to rent the series as long as the cloud service is available. And wouldn’t you know it, we’ve been proven completely right. So how well is Kingdom Hearts’ cloud versions running on Switch?
Not only that, but we tested the demo ourselves, and found exactly the same issues as many other gamers – compression ruining the visuals, input lag, stuttering framerates, and just generally a completely unacceptable way to experience some amazing games. We’ve collected a few examples, and again, we can corroborate this with our own experience. So if you’re interested in the series and yet to pick it up, maybe grab a PS4 copy.
