The new worlds are for the most part ver good, with beautiful graphics, voice acting, and feeling of their original materials. Parts of the story work well, with some well deserved fan favorite moments. Now, the not so good: The story misses more than a few moments, with some aspects like playable characters or bosses fights lacking or missing at all. It doesn't take the risks that I expected after all this time waiting, nor it truly gives us something totally new or original or really spectacular. The finale of the saga doesn't live up to the lofty expectations, but for fans, it is a ver solid and enjoying experience. Hopefully with DLC it can reach at least one more point.… Expand

    I've been a Kingdom Hearts fan since I was a kid, but never played all the games until recently. Over the last couple years, I played through all of the games through the I.5, II.5, and II.8 ReMIXes. As time's gone on, I've come to realize that this series isn't perfect, but the charm of the games, the music, the story, and all of that keeps me coming back.

    Kingdom Hearts III, for the    I've been a Kingdom Hearts fan since I was a kid, but never played all the games until recently. Over the last couple years, I played through all of the games through the I.5, II.5, and II.8 ReMIXes. As time's gone on, I've come to realize that this series isn't perfect, but the charm of the games, the music, the story, and all of that keeps me coming back.

    Kingdom Hearts III, for the majority of the game, has very little of what I used to love from these games. The entire middle of this game is genuinely pretty boring, and unless playing in Disney worlds is charming enough for you, the scenery rarely fixes that. The combat is pretty okay but stays relatively consistent throughout the game. There's no NPCs that make the gameplay more interesting, and ingredients are offered as a minor distraction. If you love Kingdom Hearts combat, you'll like most of this game, but if it's just alright to you, the middle of the game will be mostly boring to you.

    To be fair, I've usually found the middle of Kingdom Hearts games to be somewhat boring. I play the games for the Kingdom Hearts parts: Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Radiant Garden, Destiny Islands, and even some of the semi-Disney stuff like Yen Sid's Tower or Olympus Coliseum. Kingdom Hearts I and II usually had a fair balance of Disney and Kingdom Hearts elements, but III keeps this to an absolute minimum. It's restricted to the beginning of the game (minimally) and the ending of the game. The entire middle of the game is straight Disney. Not only this, but you have no connection to a real story. Just like before, there's no good motive for going to the Disney worlds, but usually you're at least somewhat connected to the story. There's a real sense of mystery or plot development. In Kingdom Hearts I you'd encounter Riku or Maleficent or other important characters. In Kingdom Hearts II you're unraveling the secrets of Organization XIII. In Kingdom Hearts III, you're either watching the story pass from other characters' perspectives during cutscenes between worlds, or getting minimal encounters with Organization XIII members (although there's very little mystery in it all). From the start, you know where the game's going. It's only at the end that it starts to get good.

    In my opinion, the ending of the game is fantastic. The music is great and the conclusion feels right for the series, teasing where it's going next. I've heard people disagree with me on this point, but the last 3-5 hours of the game are Kingdom Hearts magic. You see the characters fighting together to a phenomenal soundtrack and it really does conclude what it needs to. At the end, you feel good, like you just finished a great game. I don't want to neglect that -- it's the ending that I wanted -- but I can't just review a game for the final 5%. The other 95% is mediocre and really, really takes away from the game.

    Finally, I should state that I considered Birth by Sleep to be a better game than Kingdom Hearts III. I also played that game in the last year, so this isn't just nostalgia. The plot was better (even in Dream Drop Distance), and I was engaged for most of the time. I just don't feel it in Kingdom Hearts III.

    If you're a Kingdom Hearts fan, play this game. It does what it needs to by concluding the story, and the game is alright separate from that. But don't go in expecting Kingdom Hearts I or Kingdom Hearts II levels of charm. For me at least, it fails in that regard.    … Expand

    I’ll be honest for a second, the wait for this game wasn’t quite as excruciating for me. That sounds bizarre, I know, and I’m not trying to invalidate those who did have to wait long for this, but for me, I hardly knew about this series until this particular game was announced in 2013.

That sounds bizarre, I know, and I’m not trying to invalidate those who did have to wait long for this, but for me, I hardly knew about this series until this particular game was announced in 2013. And yes, the wait between announcement and release was definitely long, but consider this: I only first played a “Kingdom Hearts” game in 2014, and I didn’t properly get into the series (or, for that matter, beat a “Kingdom Hearts” game) until 2017, only two years ago. By the time I’d set my hype-thrusters to max, not only was the game relatively close to release, but I still had several games left to play in the series. By the time the game even came out, I still wasn’t even done “Birth by Sleep!” But now, about six months after it’s release, I’ve finally gotten through the game…and in the time I spent away from the Internet beating it, I came back to find the game’s been a bit polarizing. Not precisely bad, but it seems there’s some rather mixed opinions on it. So, what did I think? Was I satisfied after the long wait for the game? Well, for the most part, sure!
    “Kingdom Hearts III,” as one may expect from this series’s first totally new venture on PlayStation 4, looks absolutely marvelous. It’s vibrant, it’s colorful, the character models and animations are sharp, and the visual design of the Disney worlds are lovingly-created wonders to behold. The gameplay is also fine-tuned and polished to near-perfection: the combat is rock solid, the new Attraction Flow and upgrades to Keyblades help make things even more slick, the improvements to the Gummi Ship are much-appreciated, and many of the changes to platforming and controls are very welcome, too. Per usual, the music is incredible, the voice acting is solid, and while the story in “Kingdom Hearts” is usually a mess to interpret, I appreciate how things wrap up here and how said wrap-up leaves the door open for potential new entries, even if this story is the end of the “Dark Seeker Saga.”
    That said, there are some things holding this game back from living up to the standards of the other two numbered entries. For starters, I feel like, while the Disney worlds are visual marvelous, a few of them are actually quite monotonous, and don’t have the same memorability or wondrous gameplay design as previous worlds in the series (my two “lowlights” in particular are the Kingdom of Corona from “Tangled” and Arendelle from “Frozen”). Furthermore, I’m not quite sure what was going on with the bosses in this game. One minute, I’m fighting a rather difficult boss that takes me more than a few tries to complete, but then the next boss ends up being a cakewalk. It feels like the game didn’t really have any idea how to balance the difficulty out, and instead it chose to radically shift the difficulty sliders between the two furthest ends of the spectrum at free will.
    Even so, despite not being the “Game of the Century” that we may have hoped for, “Kingdom Hearts III” is another worthwhile entry to the franchise, and it’s definitely a rock-solid conclusion to the “Dark Seeker Saga” of this series. Here’s hoping the wait for “Kingdom Hearts IV” (or whatever the next game is gonna be called) doesn’t last until 2032.

It did not get better. I wish I had a camera to record the expression I was making. by the time I got to the conversation with hades, I was literally , yes LITERALLY dumbstruck. I just had no words for how tragic this game is. I mean, I just don't even... what the HELL was that thing they flashed on the screen saying "kingdom hearts II.9 HD" ???!?! WHAT THE F*?!?! I... WHAT?!?! That's not even going into, why the hell they were in the block ship and then all of a sudden they say they are stuck on the HIGHWAY? excuse me?? what??!!?? That is not even to mention bug eyed merlin who was suddenly giving the characters a dressing down with NO EXPLANATION as to what in the hell they were doing there and what the whole premise is... I'm still trying to make sense of any of it and I wonder if it's even worth trying. seriously, if you're a kingdom hearts fan (first i have to ask "why??") then you will probably love this but you probably already have it so why are you even reading this? if you're not a kingdom hearts fan, then stay away from this utter trash.    … Expand

    Kingdom Hearts III is a beautiful and fun game to play.
    Maps are bigger than ever, the cutscenes look amazing and the combat is outstanding.
    But when compared to the previous main titles, it clearly lacks heart. It lacks moments that make you feel related to any character at all. This review will talk about three main topics: - The gameplay. - The audiovisual aspects. - The story. -    Kingdom Hearts III is a beautiful and fun game to play.
    Maps are bigger than ever, the cutscenes look amazing and the combat is outstanding.
    But when compared to the previous main titles, it clearly lacks heart. It lacks moments that make you feel related to any character at all.
    This review will talk about three main topics:
    - The gameplay.
    - The audiovisual aspects.
    - The story.
    - The game design.

    -- Gameplay --
    Kingdom Hearts III's gameplay is basically one of its brightest spot, in my opinion. However, it still presents critical flaws. The main flaw is that the combat is way too fast paced to be considered enjoyable. The game experience is about button mashing and doesn't take any strategy at all. Critical mode came up to help by bringing difficulty to the game (proud was way too easy), but it feels like every victory is pretty much random, that I got lucky I didn't get hit by any of the speed-o-light attacks.

    -- The audiovisual aspects --
    Utada Hikaru did another outstanding, wonderful job once more. Delightfully satisfied with their performance on songs. Graphics seems good, but not so good considering today's (and maybe all-time Square's) standard. But what bothered me the most is that Sora's voice actor, Haley Joel Osment, sounds younger than he did in Kingdom Hearts II.

    -- The story --
    Kingdom Hearts III's story is the second worst aspect of the game, according to this review. Most of the game seems hollow. Important characters's complex stories are solved in plain 20 minutes of cutscenes and 5 of gameplay. The only good things about the story is the end of the game, which is not really that good considering 10+ years of story comes down to 1 hour of solution; and that Donald and Goofy are way more participating this time, joining Sora in every moment, be it critical or not, along the story.

    -- The game design --
    And we've just arrived at the worst aspect of the game. Twilight Town, once a super important world that showed up in Kingdom Hearts II, is now a mere short, quick place you don't get to interact much with. Actually, there's a lot of places you don't get to interact much with in Kingdom Hearts III. For example, you have a huge Port Royal in this game. The whole town is in the game, and it looks amazing! But all you have to do there is to collect some crabs. Seriously, I wanted to do way more than collecting crabs.
    In Kingdom Hearts III, you have no sense of growth at all. Sora starts overpowered, jumping and spinning around like a Dark Souls III boss, and, at the end of the game, Sora is still overpowered with some few really new stuff. I got myself thinking that Sora would do just fine to go to the end of the game just the way he was in the beginning of the game. Kingdom Hearts II starts with a simple and slow 3-hit combo and finishes with combos that makes you think "Hey, I grew up from this game!", but this feeling is completely absent on this game.

    -- Verdict --
    Kingdom Hearts III is a good game, but a huge letdown for long dated fans of the series. It seems good and it feels average to play, but it can't touch hearts. It's not a game I'd feel joy to play through it again.

    Does thing well enough in many places and slighly improves in one aspect of either KH1 or KH2, which saves it from being average (or below), but never reaches a high point on any category and thus making it the weakest entry of the mainline games.

    Graphics: outstanding (the only thing that's good about this game!)

    Gameplay: floaty, not engaging at all, too "easy" with mindless button mashing even on highest difficulty setting. Story: absurd, MC doesn't serve any purpose in the Disney worlds.

Totally disappointed with this garbage.    … Expand

    The game isn't the best in the series. However it is still a fun blast with an interesting story that pays off if your a long time fan. The combat although not terribly hard is still fun and the worlds are even more expansive and fun. Overall great game with a bit of missed potential in some areas

    On the other hand the game is directed at new player especially children as it's a one button smash fest to get through the game without any real challenge and full of quite ridiculous colourful attacks. The dialogues are very dull, cringy and slow, making me think that it's for a younger audience to be able to follow.

    Some of the Disney worlds are the poorest in the series (Frozen & pirates) and yet others are way up there as the best (monsters & toy story). Reducing 100 Acre wood to a bejeweled clone is inexcusable. It’s a really schizophrenic mix.

    Pros:
    - Best graphics ever, Donal, Goofy & actually everyone looks so good , its Amazing
    - Pixar movies, yeah their in the game and they really get the atmosphere right, with the voice actors, the movie's narrative & themes. really nailed that
    - Combat & Characters evolution, Companions has depth , combat has beautiful look & feel
    - Fun to play, character agility & Environment interaction paste are good, flow feels natural
    - Funny, makes you laugh, or at least smile
    - Gummi ship is now in open world , so it's nice addition

    Cons:
    - REALLY flat main plot, lacking the special KH charm
    - Music is so bad & unemotional, just a filler in the BG without any meaning, while previous titles gave meaning to each character & special moments with deep touching themes
    - Characters are overpowered leaving the many abilities not meaningful, unnecessary & unused. in previous titles you wanted to get that firaga spell so you'll get over a special boss fight/challenge
    - Lack of FINAL FANTASY Characters & original worlds. HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT !!!
    - Title became a money maker, the game leaves you with a bad taste of greed, clearly instead of focusing in the KH magic, and giving a closer for 15 years fans, they just tease you for the next title with Sora keep looking a way to get all his friends back together. really shaming !!!
    - Worlds don't have a second coming plot & motivation, you just pass them once and then finish the game.
    - No challenge, i died only twice, once in guumi ship mission, and once in a special world mission when i couldn't figure out the goal in the first time. if you don't die at all in the final act.. then something is wrong here, the game is incomplete
    - Mini games sucks !!!
    - Shaming vintage mini games no one cares about, and even if you'll pay me i won't play them
    - Photo mode & Mobile phone - no one needs this s**t in KH, it only makes the atmosphere weird and out of place. KH used to be story of magic , not tech ...

    The game isn't that bad, and easily worth a 7 score, but for KH fan its an EPIC FAIL !!!
    so my score is 5.

    SquareEnix has forgotten how to create RPGs.

    If something suprissed me when I first played Kingdom Hearts was the absolutely incredible good RPG desing that game has. Of course I was not aware, I was only a child. However, I found a challenge in that game. Nearly ten years later I still find this challenge and I am now able to relate this challenge with the desing of the game. The    SquareEnix has forgotten how to create RPGs.

    If something suprissed me when I first played Kingdom Hearts was the absolutely incredible good RPG desing that game has. Of course I was not aware, I was only a child. However, I found a challenge in that game. Nearly ten years later I still find this challenge and I am now able to relate this challenge with the desing of the game. The mechanics of the combat gameplay, the need of master the parry, the differences between the several types of heartless are things that I felt they were missing in KH2. In the second game, the combat evolved to a more-dinamicall combat, where action was the main star. Nevertheless, the combat had some deep needed in this type of games, although the rest of the game design was quite poorer, deleting some things like bactracking or platforming.

    When KH3 was announced, I saw that the way of this saga has been directed to a hack & slash game. However, I wanted to check it, so I played it. Unfortunately, I was right. The combats are plain, incredibily easy even in the highest difficult mode. The rewards, in shape of chest, are slightly hidden in some turn of the corridor, not needing any ability that you unlock afterwards or some hability with platforms. And my main worry about this game, the story I wanted to know because I grow up wiht this saga, wasted. After a climax in the last world of KH:DDD I expected some tension between protagonists and antagonists. However, Nomura continue letting us down with filler Disney worlds, when the acts of the protagonists does not matter and where some random Organization XIII foe appears to make a empty and boring speech. All of this repeated until the last world, when the story that a game of 30h wanted to tell is rushed in 4h. And if you thought that the plain gameplay and the extermely-bad told story are the only things that could make this game boring you are wrong. The pace of the game is terrible. The worlds are usually composed by tasks consisting in going from point A to B and from B to C and so on, with some enemies in between and of course, a lot of cinematics. Boring, void-in-content cinematics. The pace is broken to hear some essay from an Organization XIII member or to see a scene of the Disnet movie.

    The pros of the "game": First of all, the most evident one. The graphics. Awesome in the Disney worlds. The artistic part of the game is nearly a 10. It makes you feel like watching a Pixar film and not only beacuse you only play to slash the X and triangle buttons. Besides that, the gummy ship part has been also enhanced. I found it a good choice and it is fun to play if you do not care about the 100%, but that is something that usually happens in the games.

    To sum up, Kingdom Hearts III is no the RPG some of us fell for it. The saga has been evolved to a animation movie hack and slash. Moreover, Disney has become the most important part of the game, acumulating the biggest part of the story and even introducing some Sora's habiliities just for merchadising.    … Expand

It's a game with a wonderful spectacle and immense immersion to bring old fans into their inner child again. The series is still as full of heart as it always has been. The new Disney worlds are the best in the entire series, offering a great balance of combat and exploration, and some of them bring new original stories instead of the usual "rehash the movie's story". The writing in this game is also one of it's strongest points, being remarkably solid with an actual humor (previous games attempted such thing but never quite succeeded and it felt too shoe-horned in).

    The combat is, as many people say, quite easy and that may lead to a boring playthrough. However, as someone who loves to experiment with the mechanics of the game I found that KH3 doesn't encourages X mashing as much as the other games and wants you to unleash everything out. It turns each fight to it's own show of sparkles and spells. Considering that enemy sworms are bigger than before and enemies have more HP you will need all the tools to bring them down quickly. Now that critical mode is out I seriouslt want to see people complaining about no challenge (it's arguably the hardest the series has been).

    The series will never grow with it's fans and that isn't a bad thing! Just remember that your past memories will never leave you and let them take you to a nostalgia dance with familiar friends.    … Expand

    Also a lot of the worlds fell shallow because they just copy pasted the movies, they could have done a lot more! However I still loved this game.

    this game is AMAZINGGGGG!!!!! It's the most fun I've ever had playing a game. The combat is phenomenal, the graphics are outstanding, and the world detail is simply unreal. This **** game is a gift from the heavens and I simply CANNOT understand ANY of the bad reviews whatsoever. If you find the story convoluted, then that's okay because the gameplay is where this game truly shines. It'sthis game is AMAZINGGGGG!!!!! It's the most fun I've ever had playing a game.

    Kingdom Hearts III is a masterfully crafted game. The Disney worlds have never been as expansive, beautiful, and interactive as they are here. The gummy ship as well as overall gameplay has also been improved and the graphics are simply breathtaking. Thank you square and Disney

    Kingdom Hearts III doesn’t go in the direction some RPG fans will no doubt have been hoping for. It’s unashamedly over the top in just about every way, from its barmy story and stunning presentation to its huge cinematic battles. There’s plenty of depth here too, though you’ll need to find your bearings first.

    There is no doubt that Kingdom Hearts III will make long term fans moved or even cry. As for those new to the franchise, I believe they also can be satisfied because of tons of classic Disney elements and solid combat system, even though they could barely understand the main story.
