Should I get KH2 for my PS4?

How many KH games are there even? I thought there were 2 and now I'm seeing 1.5, 2.5, HD remakes, different titles...

If you want to be caught up, you have to play all the iterations on PSP 3ds, DS, gameboy etc...

Will I be confused if I just jump to the latest or best one?

If anything, play one and two. Because apparently three will have a summarization video at the beginning

Get the Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Remix compilation. This has the full versions of both KH1 and KH2, along with a bunch of the other side games if you want to play more after the main games.

Word of warning: KH1's first seven or eight hours move glacially slow.

Technically 2 told the events of Chain of Memories in an opening cutscene, but I wouldn't say it covered what people needed to know or even made sense to people.

kh1 is so awful to replay, the game controls like literal ass and your movement options are so bad

but it's all uphill from there after that

In total, there's 8 games.

- Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
- Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (originally a GBA game, later remade for PS2 as "Re:Chain of Memories")
- Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
- Kingdom Hearts Coded (originally mobile game, remade for DS as "Re:coded")
- Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (DS)
- Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep (PSP)
- Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
- Kingdom Hearts (originally a browser game, re-released as Unchained for smartphones and later rebranded as Union X since it now features new content and story not present in the original browser version)

If you want to play/experience everything, you should get two things. First, the collection Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix (for PS4), which is a single-disc compilation of two remaster collections that were previously released for PS3. This will include the following:

- Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix (originally released for PS3): It's a collection that contains the full games Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and all the cutscenes of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days in high definition.
- Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix (originally released for PS3): The second collection. This contains the full games Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and all the cutscenes of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded in high definition.

And second, the collection Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (for PS4) which includes:

- Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD (full game)
- Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep A Fragmentary Passage (short episode)
- Kingdom Hearts Back Cover (cinematic film)

You can play the games in chronological order if you want, but I highly recommend you to do it in release order. Everything ends up flowing better that way and you won't end up spoiling yourself.

If you don't want to play everything however, just play Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II. I must mention though, every game is quite important to the overall story (some less than others of course) and this will become quite apparent once Kingdom Hearts III comes out since Tetsuya Nomura has said that it will be the end of the Dark Seeker saga (the story we've been following since the very first game). It won't be the end of the Kingdom Heart series as a whole though.

Also the story is not really important imo and isnt good enough to warrant doing all of that work. Just play the fun ones for fun

If you start with the series, start with Kingdom Hearts 1. It's so good that you'll probably stay a fan even through the bullshit in the rest of the games.

KH1 is good for story, the rest are good for gameplay. BBS wasn't too bad in the writing department either, though.
