Good news KINGDOM HEARTS fans. All of the titles currently available on Steam have now been tested by Valve and given the fancy green Steam Deck Verified tick.
I would say the story of KH1 is pretty great, it’s just that the gameplay and menus are quite dated and very frustrating to deal with. The platforming is still a bit of a problem but with dual-stick controls it’s at least bearable.
If you don’t want to play it, I would still recommend looking up the story beats in video form so you know the story. KH2 is where I would say the gameplay really takes off.

And where I’ve heard from other fans that the story takes a dive off a cliff. So you get better gameplay and a mess of a story.
I do not have personal experience to verify, but multiple friends confirmed this to be the case.
I share this opinion edit: and 1 wasnt exactly a clear story to begin with
“Kairi… Kairi’s inside me?”
The whole Ansem thing also came out of absolutely nowhere
