This is a first in my streaming so far in that I’ve sort of set myself up with a challenge: following the addition via patch of 2 mysterious key items, one of which being the “Proof of Times Past” that requires players to finish the game in Critical Mode. So the challenge is me taking on my first ever Kingdom Hearts Critical Mode.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me! Avast m’hearties for Sora’s joined the ranks of piracy on the Caribbean. From helping Captain Jack Sparrow escape Davy Jones’ Locker, to an aerial battle over the sea, to a gorgeous rendition of Port Royal, to sailing the open seas and a maelstrom battle, we get to experience some breathtaking vistas and set pieces from Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, mostly inspired by the 2006 and 2007 entries Dead Man’s Chest and At World’s End. There’s ships, pirates, krakens, Captain Jack Sparrow, and crabs…lots of crabs…
Until next time…buh-bye!
