Video Description: It took me 20 YEARS to finally finish the “worst” KH game: Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, including the "hidden" Reverse/Rebirth Riku campaign. It always bothered me I couldn't complete this game when I was young, but after all these years I finally went back and beat it. In this retrospective, I share the journey: the card system, the hidden Reverse/Rebirth campaign, and why Riku’s story hits way harder than most give it credit for. 👉 If you enjoy this video, please like, subscribe, and drop a single emoji in the comments to let me know what you thought.
