Ah, so it looks like you already have most of the series under your belt! Unlike Days and Recoded which are fairly self contained, BBS and DDD are very chunky games in terms of story and drive the main narrative going forward. For me, BBS had the most compelling story in the series and I was fond of a core mechanic in DDD where you “create” and raise creatures that act as your party members.

One thing I forgot to mention is that the versions of Kingdom Hearts I and II included here are “Final Mix” versions, which feature some additional abilities, cutscenes and post-game content. I assume you’ve played the vanilla versions on PS2, so this content gives you some extra value if you decide to replay it all from the beginning. These are just bonuses though so it’s not a big deal if you don’t!

I’m surprised that you’ve played X chi since that’s one of the more obscure titles! I’m in the same boat as you in that I gave up on playing it myself after it became stale and pay-to-win. I ended up watching the cutscenes on YouTube to catch up, which to me was a much more enjoyable. Luckily, Back Cover contains everything you need for KH3.

With regards to what game you should play next, it might be worth having a comfort game that you play purely for your own enjoyment and not for ulterior “research” purposes. Perhaps alternate between a comfort game to destress and other indie games that may be a more “productive” use of your time?
