Some of it was luck based and even then, a lot of it was moot when you got to the humanoid bosses that could insta-kill you before you even got a shot in.In what respect? Hype is super subjective.
My only gripe would be some of the Bosses are weak, but that's most KH games until you get to the humanoid bosses
That fighting system wasn't as braindead as most KH games imoyou fukk around and run through all your abilities too quick and you getting smacked, had to actually strategize to a degree and figure out how to craft moves that gave you the best transformations
