The highly anticipated DLC expansion forKingdom Hearts 3,ReMind, was announced late last year and is finally available for players to dive into. As some readers may know, the ending ofKingdom Hearts 3left a bit ambiguous, leaving room open for further installments set in theKingdom Heartsuniverse. Naturally,ReMinditselfleaves room for the next gamein the series to build upon the story bits thatReMindleaves behind.
For those who may not know, theReMindDLC is not an enormous expansion toKingdom Hearts 3by any stretch. The DLC itself is mostly filled with story details and some updated boss fights with added difficulty. This has led to some divisive reception of the DLC package altogether, as the cost ofReMindis a staggering $30. What’s even more divisive among fans isReMind’s overall content and length.

How Long to Beat
The common consensus withKingdom Hearts 3’sReMindDLC is that the whole package can be finished in around three to five hours of playtime. Naturally, that has many fans upset and rightly so. For a $30 asking price, it’s hard to even recommendReMindto the most diehardKingdom Heartsfans, as the DLC pack has a few more issues that are sure to rub fans the wrong way. One of which is the heavy amount of content that is reused throughoutReMind.
After purchasing the expansion, players canstart theReMindDLCby heading to the bottom of the screen, selecting Downloadable Content, and choosing a save file. The DLC content itself is relatively short and mostly consists of cutscenes that show what happened afterKingdom Hearts 3’s climactic ending in the Keyblade Graveyard. Players will once again control Sora with the levels from the game’s campaign carried over to the DLC, but players will also have the chance to play as other characters like Kairi and Roxas.
Limitcut
The second aspect of theReMindDLC comes in the form ofLimitcut, or Data Battles. While most ofReMinditself consists of story content following up on the events of the main game,Limitcutis essentially an enhanced boss gauntlet for the members of Organization XIII. It’s recommended that players be at max levels for these fights, as some of theboss battles are very hardto beat.
All in all, these boss battles can almost be viewed separately from the boss battles players encountered in the main story, as they’ve been tweaked significantly. Thesebosses deal way more damage, take far more hits, and have revamped attack patterns making them much harder to land hits on altogether.
WhileReMindis very short on content it does offer a decent amount for diehard fans to sin their teeth into. With Limitcut and the secret episode, the game offers players the chance tounlock three new endingsand scenarios. While it is very hard to justify the full asking price of $30 forReMind, fans who just can’t wait to get moreKingdom Heartsmay find something to enjoy here.
Kingdom Hearts 3is available now on PS4 and Xbox One.
