7 Most Painfully Confusing Video Game Titles

1. Just... EVERYTHING About Kingdom Hearts Sequels

The Kingdom Hearts series is no stranger to weird video game titles. In fact the titles are so confusing that they often put people off the games. Not only are the titles themself weird, how is a newcomer to know that a game titled “Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep” is in fact not a spin-off and is instead just as important as a game called Kingdom Hearts II?

Kingdom Hearts is easily the king of awful titles as they do the opposite of what they're meant to, they actively confuse instead of enticing people to pick the games up.

The series includes such classics as “Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage”, “Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days”, and “Kingdom Hearts χ” - the χ might be pronounced as chi or key, who knows?

That's without getting into the collections which to an outsider look like games in their own right. “Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX” and “Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue” shouldn't be the titles of anything.

Some of the titles don't even make sense once you've played the games, what does Birth by Sleep even mean?
