Prior to this recent marathon, I only ever fully beat KH1, played about an hour of Re:Chain of Memories (before getting bored), and about 40% of 2 (before Square Enix pulled the collections off of Game Pass).
KH1 was a game that I originally thought was kinda good, but also deeply flawed in many aspects (namely the presentation and the bosses). However, the recent playthrough I did gave me a newfound appreciation and enjoyment of it.
The weird thing though is that I did this playthrough on Proud Mode, and I actually found it easier than the original run I did on Standard Mode. No joke, in the original run, I spent 4 HOURS on Ursula, dying multiple times throughout the fight. For the Proud Mode run, on the other hand, I beat that bitch on the FIRST TRY. I even managed to win against every superboss in the game as well, which was something I didn’t even bother trying to do in the OG run.
