    The 3rd main title in the series is definitely the weakest of the bunch, still has alot of charm more like the 1st game rather then the 2nd one as far as the animation and colour. it was far too easy on the highest difficulty. still would a recommend to anyone whos a fan of the series.

    Kingdom Hearts 3, while being easily one of the most beautiful KH games to date, is an imperfect work of art.

    Graphically, the game is crisp, detailed, beautiful, and runs like butter on a decent computer. Sonically, the music is as good (if not better) than most in the series, the SFX is punchy and perfect for the game. Storywise, it is about what one can expect from the series.

    Storywise, it is about what one can expect from the series. As convoluted as the story up to now has been, it is a good conclusion to most all of the plot threads from the previous games.

    Gameplay, where the game should truly shine, is unfortunately one of the places it falters. The attack animations are floaty, have long pauses after most, and it doesn't feel as reactive as 2 was able to achieve. Attractions, formchanges, team attacks, and the summon system being overhauled into the Link system were great additions, but incredibly imbalanced while still having some of the previous complaints about attacks. The Gummiship sections are very well done, and it shows how much effort went into making it work. Lastly, the world variety is great, but dragged down in how much preferential treatment was given to some over others. Frozen's world is the biggest and most fleshed out in the game, feeling like it's twice the size of all the others. Physically Big Hero 6's and the Pirates' worlds are larger, but both feel more hollow and empty than any of the others, especially once completed.

    If you're a fan of KH as a series, definitely pick it up, if you are not I think you should pick up the KH 1.5+2.5 collection to really experience it at it's best storywise and in gameplay.    … Expand

    I originally played this game when it came out and finished replaying it again yesterday on critical mode. I’m a big enough fan of this franchise to do something like that but it does not necessarily mean that it was a good Kingdom Hearts game. Starting with the positives, I think my favorite thing is the combat itself.

I’m a big enough fan of this franchise to do something like that but it does not necessarily mean that it was a good Kingdom Hearts game. Starting with the positives, I think my favorite thing is the combat itself. Once you have all the abilities unlocked, and you know how to actually use them, it really becomes a lot of fun and is the best the series has ever offered - especially when playing in Critical mode, you’re gunna have to know how to put everything to use to complete the game on a difficulty like that. The game also looked really good. But that’s genuinely about when the positives end. Sora is awful. Just awful. I did not want to hear him utter another word. Absolutely nobody would like having this guy as a friend in real life. The cut scenes are so bad and full of filler that I was forced to miss actual information to the plot. Somewhere within these long cutscenes there would be a relevant piece of information, but in order to see that I have to time and time again listen to characters say ridiculous things over and over again like “let’s do it guys” while the camera pans over to each individual for them to nod their head in agreement and go “hmm”. It is so corny and cringe and it happens so much. Who did this? What were they thinking? Skipping the cut scenes allowed me to enjoy this game much more this time than during my first playthrough. Do yourselves a favor and just do not watch this crap. These pointless cutscenes are littered throughout the entirety of the game. There are moments where you’ll watch a cutscene, walk down a hall, and another cut scene will start. Wtf! The world choices were lame. It felt like Disney forced Square to promote and advertise Disney franchises that most KH fans really don’t care about. They were well done, but the things we grew up on are virtually non existent. Olympus is the only one that truly nails it. Nothing irked me more though than Sora, Rikku, and Kairi reuniting again. Like, this is what KH fans were waiting for, this is what it’s all been about, right? Wrong. It’s like nothing ever happened. They all reunite and it’s pretty much whatever and awkwardly glossed over. I was shocked. It’s like whoever wrote this stuff didn’t know what went on in the previous titles. The DLC was weak. It gives you some things to grind for and a run of repeat boss fights that are way harder - but for what? It’s just pointless. Overall as far as story content brought on by the DLC, it’s about an hour of running around connecting pieces of Kairi’s heart, and a little segment where all the characters work together in a fight. The DLC isn’t even one GB if that tells you anything. I bought it on sale only because the base game offered me very little to do end game. KH1 and KH2 were both better KH games. If 3 received that kind of attention and care those two titles did, it would blow them out of the water because the combat is SO GOOD. That’s all that kept me going. I loved fighting the enemies. I shut the attractions off just so that I could enjoy kicking their butts with my keyblade. Overall I have one final speculation about the turn out of this game. It reeks of corporate Disney. It took 13 years for this game to come out and I think it’s Disney’s fault. I don’t know what they did or how things all work in the background but I don’t blame SE very much about these downfalls. No Final Fantasy characters, Disney plots dominating the worlds unlike ever before, attractions thrown into the combat, and the way the KH plot line was cramped into the very end just tells me that SE’s hands were tied regarding what they could do versus what they wanted to do. It feels like they had to fulfill some kind of contractual obligations with Disney to make this all work and I hope they are free of it now. Assuming my speculations are true, Disney absolutely sucks for this. They ruined what could’ve been a great game and imo Square should scrap Disney from future titles as much as possible. Work out some rights for a few Mickey Mouse cutscenes where necessary as well as Donald and Goofy and take Kingdom Hearts down the Final Fantasy road. The franchise has nothing to lose by doing that at this point. I’m cutting this game some slack by giving it this rating and it’s based on my suspicions about what happened here. I can’t wait for KH4 - I think it’s going to be great. KH3 had amazing potential. They just need to build on it moving forward and toss the kid stuff out the window. Hoping Sora’s very normal shoe size in the new trailer (haha) is an indication of that.… Expand

    KINGDOM HEARTS III is a lot more demanding compared to the other releases here, and it understandably struggles to hit a locked 60fps out of the box on Steam Deck. With a bit of tweaking, that is possible though, and having native KINGDOM HEARTS III on a handheld with rock solid performance, is excellent. If you held off on the games on PS4 or Xbox One before, KINGDOM HEARTS III is a solid PC release that has no issues running on Steam Deck including its cut-scenes. I enjoyed my time revisiting it on the go.

    For newcomers to the series, it’s a fantastic option because, obviously, you’re not gated by a hundred different consoles just to experience the story for yourself. It’s incredibly easy just to boot up one of the collections and get started carving your way through armies of heartless. For veterans of the series, it’s a great way to relive your childhood for the exact same reasons.

    While the price might be asking a lot for a game that can now be purchased for significantly less on consoles - or even downloaded on Xbox as part of Game Pass! - whoever was in charge of the Kingdom Hearts III PC port has delivered not just a fantastic PC version of the game, but one that is sure to become the benchmark for Square Enix PC ports going forward - for good or ill.
