Welcome to my Kingdom Hearts Analysis! Kingdom Hearts is one of the most popular video games in the past 20 and in this Kingdom Hearts Analysis, I'm going to be reviewing Kingdom Hearts. There will be story spoilers in this Kingdom Hearts Review for the first Kingdom Hearts game since this is just going to be a standalone Kingdom Hearts Review. Kingdom Hearts Smarter Than You Think is just my own opinion on Kingdom Hearts. If you disagree with me, that's okay. This Kingdom Hearts analysis is the first in a planned Kingdom Hearts analysis series, so make sure you watch that as well. Kingdom Hearts Smarter Than You Think is the best video I've made.

Kingdom Hearts is one of the most iconic video game franchises from the past 20 years. This strange crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy has spanned over multiple console generations and has captured the hearts of millions of players, myself included. While I didn’t play the games right when they were released, I got into the franchise around 2015 while I was sampling a bunch of old PS2 games out of curiosity. Needless to say, I’ve been hooked ever since and have been wanting to talk about these games on this channel for a long time. While the internet has no shortage of Kingdom Hearts discussion, I find that a lot of it is centred around how absurd the series can get rather than a serious look at the content in question. I’m not pointing fingers here because, on a surface level, Kingdom Hearts is very dumb. However, I feel as though there isn’t enough credit given to the genuinely great aspects of these games. So for today’s video, we’re going to be taking a look at the first Kingdom Hearts, analyzing the highs and lows in order to figure out what makes this such a beloved title.
