For instance, I managed to make it completely through the game without using offensive magic ONCE.
. In KHII, you can literally pound the mini-bosses and main enemies into submission by hitting X over and over again. (It basacially says there is no reason whatsoever to dodge)
What's worse, you don't need to fear taking damage, because for the most part any destroyed enemies will drop enough health orbs to heal Sora back to full life
Unfortunately, the enemy difficulty level doesn't ramp up to meet Sora's ability, so after a while combat is simply reduced to a level grind.
For instance, I placed the controller on my desk, lightly pressed X and had a conversation with a co-worker. Three minutes later, I'd cleared all of the opponents in a room and leveled up, without actively controlling the game. What's more, because the ability to button mash is so prevalent, boss fights take a fraction of the time. I timed every major fight that I had in this title, and most came out under the five-minute mark, including the final boss
One other hiccup with the worlds is that they feel incredibly small. Other worlds that you've already adventured in from the original are compressed even smaller, with Halloween Town and Atlantica as shadows of their former self.
