3 Games in 1!
Birth By Sleep is yet another banger in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. As always, the story is a crazy mess, but at this point if that’s not what you expect from KH then that’s your own problem.
It’s really fun to play as 3 separate characters! Seeing their stories intertwine as you play one campaign after another is always neat, and their different playstyles are really fun. I think Aqua’s is the easiest to cheese.
As always, it’s great to travel to different Disney worlds and explore with the characters you love. Since BBS is the earliest game in the series (excluding the mobile games), you get to see some of the worlds of characters you never got to in, say, KH1.
I always found it funny that Master Eraqus is Mark Hamill, while Xehanort is Leonard Nimoy. That had to have been on purpose, right? But also, I want to praise the performance of Jesse McCartney. He portrayed Roxas earlier in the series (later in the timeline of the games, though), and did so incredibly. Despite the characters looking identical, his performance as Ventus is so different than Roxas! It would’ve been very easy to just repeat the same performance, but he didn’t. Ventus and Roxas are clearly separate characters, and I appreciate it.
If you like KH, BBS is worth playing. And even if you don’t like the story but like the combat, it’s worth a play too!
