the fun side

I've been replaying Kingdom Hearts lately. The first one. The original--not Final Mix.

I have nothing against Final Mix. I own it in the ps4 collection. But sometimes I'm just looking at all of my PS2 games and want to pop a disc in. For nostalgia's sake.

Also, they recolored all of the heartless, and I'll never forgive them for this. Luckily, now that you can play on PC, the original colors have been modded back in, but also I'm not buying all of Kingdom Hearts again on PC.

But I didn't bring you here just to hear my unpopular opinions about Final Mix. I brought you here to hear my unpopular opinions about KH1 in general, so let's get started!

Vibes.

I played Garden Story.

It's a cute little game. Not quite what i expected when I played the demo (however many years ago that was now).

I had assumed it would be an adventure game in the vein of The Legend of Zelda where you pick your way through the world fighting monsters and solving puzzles, but it's really quite different from that, sort of blending in management sim(?) elements (managing your towns by gathering resources every day, fighting off monsters, fixing broken things around town, etc.).
