Kingdom Hearts 3: Re:Mind's new playable characters and post-game bosses aren't enough to save it from feeling like a tired retread of events experienced just last year.
If one accepts Re:Mind for what it is, it should be a real treat for hardcore Kingdom Hearts fans.
The Re:Mind scenario is only appealing to two types of fans: players that haven't played Kingdom Hearts III yet or those that already mastered the game and want to challenge themselves on the hardest bosses in the series.
Nearly one year after the release of Kingdom Hearts III, Tetsuya Nomura and his team deliver a potpourri of various experiences, including a revisited version of the game's ending and the Limit Cut episode, in which we see again some cherished and familiar faces. In fact, the main complain we can adress to the Re:Mind DLC is its expensive price.
