Kingdom Hearts is back in the broader public consciousness (we know it never leaves the minds of sickos) with Kingdom Hearts IV getting a new trailer last month, and that means it’s as good a time as any to remind you that Kingdom Hearts II is the best one. 20 years later, the PS2 classic remains a pitch-perfect summation of the best parts of Square Enix’s Disney and Final Fantasy mash-up. If you don’t want to take my word for it, ask Guillaume Broche, creative director of Game of the Year winner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
