Kingdom Hearts Coded
Kingdom Hearts Coded, while mostly fine to play, is one of the more contrived entries in the series. The mobile game and its DS remake ooze “made just to put a Kingdom Hearts game on the platform,” and its place in the series’ ongoing plot is so flimsy that it doesn’t have much reason to exist. It largely was made to reuse old Disney worlds by digitizing records of Sora’s past adventures into a virtual world as a roundabout way of explaining a message Sora receives from Mickey at the end of Kingdom Hearts II, though there are some more substantial scenes at the end of the Re:coded DS remake. Ultimately, it’s the definition of a filler game in a series that doesn’t usually have those.
