Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts is a 2002 action role-playing game developed and published by Square for the PlayStation 2. It is the first game in the Kingdom Hearts series and is the result of a collaboration between Square and The Walt Disney Company. An expanded re-release of the game featuring new and additional content, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, was released exclusively in Japan in December 2002. The Final Mix version of the game was later remastered in high definition and released globally as part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix collection for the PlayStation 3. The game was later ported and released as part of the bundled Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix collection for PlayStation 4 in March 2017, Xbox One in February 2020, Windows in March 2021 and Nintendo Switch in February 2022.

Where Kingdom Hearts sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Kingdom Hearts lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 63ahead of 16% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 58ahead of 95% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Kingdom Hearts
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
