Riku's side of the story is a lot more enjoyable than Sora's. His combat (toward the end of the game) feels like an expansion on the card game aspect and I found myself watching my cards a lot more frequently than where I was moving around on the stage. The story is fantastic getting to see Riku grapple with the darkness inside him and his want to live in the light with his friends. His character development was incredibleeeeeee!!
