I played Kingdom Hearts for the first time in 2017 at age 27 and it gave me a huge sense of childhood wonder despite being an adult. It didnt feel exactly the same as I was when I was a kid but it's still felt wonderful.

It's because of how the game starts out with kids on an island. That alone just brings you back to being a kid. But you know you're on only a small part of an island and 20 years and games later we still barely seen it. And the characters themselves want to explore. Then everything about the intro before that where you walk on stained glass. Traverse Town. Hallow Bastion. End of the World. Its just such a fucking great atmosphere that always makes you wonder whats behind this what's beyond that what the fuck is this? Then you get that secret ending and it happens again but in a concentrated amount like a fever dream. Disney nostalgia helps.

DDd actually expanded on Traverse Town in a way that made it feel like if they copied Mario 64s hub world but added a new city to it. It was great.
