Gamers Share the Hardest Game Series to Catch Up On
Some video game franchises are so long and complex that new players struggle to get into them. Gamers recently discussed this issue online, highlighting three major series that are especially difficult to catch up on:
1. The Trails Series (The Legend of Heroes)
- 12 main games, plus spinoffs.
- One long-running story with connected characters.
- Each game takes at least 60 hours to complete.
- Some fans say Falcom releases games faster than they can play them!
2. The Yakuza / Like a Dragon Series
- Long and continuous storyline from the first game to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
- Massive time investment makes it hard for newcomers.
- Some players skip older games and watch story summaries on YouTube.
3. Kingdom Hearts
- Confusing story spread across multiple games (including mobile and spinoffs).
- Some say even the developers don’t fully understand the story!
- Piecing everything together is a massive challenge.
Too Many Games, Too Little Time
For many gamers, these franchises are too big to start now. Whether it’s time-consuming RPGs like Trails, interconnected sagas like Yakuza, or confusing plots like Kingdom Hearts, catching up is no easy task.
