    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've been looking forward to this game for years... I've played almost every part of the series and can definitely say that this is the most disappointing game of them all!
    The fights are too easy and I get that they don't want to frustrate any kids playing this game, but that's what lower difficulty levels are there for. Think of your grown-up fans, please.
    Speaking of kids: Kingdom Hearts is a game for kids, but fans of the franchise started playing almost 20 years ago. The series has to be balanced especially when it comes to the story-telling.
    Boy, oh boy, the story is soooo bad. The first 20 hours into the game lack everything! You stroll through worlds without a real objective, nothing ever seems to be at stake. Sora is supposed to learn a power of which nobody really seems to know what it is, but Mickey and Riku apparently have it. Their storyline is far more interesting, but half of it happens off screen and the bits that are shown are spinning in circles. Same goes for the movie-stories in the worlds. I don't want to see the whole Frozen-song re-animated!!! Show me more about Riku or Kairi or get on with the freakin' story alltogether. There is no feeling of progress and at the end it seems so rushed and confusing. First, they explain everything they plan on doing and all of a sudden everybody dies, then they don't and we seemingly travel back in time, but not to try a different approach this time, no, we are saved by a higher entity that appears out of nowhere. Then people that were believed to be lost show up and nobody knows how they did it, not even the characters themselves. And here comes the biggest logical error in my opinion: Xehanort explains how he needs 13 darknesses and 7 lights. So wouldn't it make sense to avoid bringing him 7 lights??? Why do we try to get 7 lights and do all the work for him? For a long time, I was honestly convinced that Master Yen Sid is secretly a pawn of Xehanort. It makes no sense.
    Way to go, SquareEnix, after screwing up the storytelling in FF15, you also ruined the story of KH.
    I could go on and on, but I don't want to lose another day to rage on Kingdom Hearts.
    I love the previous games, they did a great job, especially with Birth by sleep. That was a game that managed to embrace an older audience as well.
    I don't get how people love this game... I am so unsatisfied with everything... despite the looks, the graphics are great and that's why this game gets 1 and not 0 points.    … Expand

With a story this convoluted and full, you’re not going to make it perfect. My major gripe with the game is that they just kept going and going. It’s not bad if the content isn’t the same stuff over and over again. Hearts, friends, darkness, light, Sora, Riku, Kairi, etc etc. There’s nothing that made me go “Wow, that was unexpected!”. It’s grand, its epic, its heart warming, and all that good stuff. What I’m saying is its solid and what I say next are just things that bug me personally. So lets get to it.

    Sora is such a **** in this game. He dies like 3 times (who knows its hard to keep track). He can do absolutely NOTHING on his own. Sora was chosen to wield the keyblade because he was optimistic and always knew there was hope. If it wasn’t for half of the cast, it would be a completely different story that ended much sooner. Sora was a badass in Kingdom Hearts 2. He kicked the **** out of the head honcho of the Organization, and when he and Riku were fighting Xehonort, it was Sora leading the charge. The story could have been about any one of a number of people. He isn’t the badass that had the confidence to take on anyone who threatened his friends. Like, why is he crying? Why is he pleading with people? Why is he so reliant on the people around him? I get that this story is about friendship and hearts and yada yada but Sora wasn’t such a whiny wuss in the other ones. He was always up for the challenge. It’s annoying, i dont want to play as the crybaby of the group. I would have much rather been Aqua in this game.

    Next, they just love stacking despair at the end of the game. Oh no, sora is dead and all the bad guys are strong. Oh no, they took Kairi. Oh no the odds are 2 against 1. Oh no they killed Kairi. Oh no kingdom hearts is open. Oh no the bad guys win. Oh no the bad guy is 13 bad guys. Like, quit having me overcome the odds that Sora was ready to give up on 3 hours ago. It was just boring by the end.

    Other than that, spot on and a great addition to the Kingdom Hearts Collection.    … Expand

The result is pure abomination from its narrative driven focus.

    Haphazardly thrown together Disney themed set pieces to button mash away at endlessly, much the same as its precursors and the only mildly better PS4 bretheren Final Fantasy XV. Once you peel away the nostalgia for the previous games you see it is little more than an carbon copy of other, better games of which even its prior installments produced better.

    Literally not worth anyone's time and attention but due to the utter brainwashing of a generation into Disney addled zealotry, Square Enix could have rolled out the shiniest polished lawn cigar and the adult aged children that were given Kingdom Hearts on previous consoles as a surrogate for parenting will cheer along gleefully chomping down every nutty bite of this mediocre cud. More over attacking anyone who suggest that it is anything less than flawless and the greatest thing to ever be created.

    So terrible it does not even justify a score and anyone suggesting it is great needs to be psychologically evaluated.    … Expand

This a 2019 $60 game. At this point, I shouldn't have to run through so many invisible walls. That is just laziness, and very PS2-like. Speaking of the PS2, that is basically what the game is. It's not a PS4 game, it's a PS2 game.

    Also, there is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is not a reason to play this game again. It will go back to the shelf collecting dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. I recommend you only get this game until it's $5, or wait until it's free on PS Plus.    … Expand

    Gameplay mechanics have been dumbed down for little kids. Even proud mode is still easy, all it does is increase HP and dmg values of enemies. Spamming abilities that most of the time have no relation to the environment/world they're in. Only world that does this is Toy Story with the rocket...

    The worlds are less in number, most of their stories are really shallow and rehashed - poorly executed scripts and voice acting included. At one point I was laughing at Jack Sparrow's performance and facial animation - it was just too awful to take seriously.

    This game is simply overhyped trash dumpster fire, and hardcore fans are going to dribble and drool over it because they're a bunch of biased SJW white knights. We all know Disney told Square Enix what to do, Disney is completely out of touch with everything now and Square Enix hasn't made a good game in years... so I don't know why I was expecting anything good to come out of this.

    Vote this down if you want, you're part of the problem though. These games are bad because you rate them high and give them money. It's really sad to see the entertainment industry fall further and further from their roots.    … Expand

    Es una realidad que cualquiera que haya puntuado con una nota superior al 7 a este juego, o le han pagado, o no ha jugado mas de 2 horas.

    Vamos a empezar por lo básico, han pasado 13 años desde la segunda entrega, son una realidad muy dura para un juego que parece haberse realizado en un año deprisa corriendo.

    Empecemos por lo ÚNICO bueno de esta valiente basura de juego, los gráficos/fluidez del juego. No pega tirones en casi ningún momento, va super fluido y los fps son constantes. Aun con todo eso, es el primer juego que en mi ps4 pro se ha "cerrado inesperadamente" cosa que no entiendo, ya que no corre los mejores gráficos del mercado ni mantiene una cantidad de enemigos en pantalla desorbitada(salvo en el final). Esto es lo ÚNICO en lo que parece que han dedicado mas de un mes de desarrollo.

    En lo que a los combates se refiere, un gorila con unos bongos conectados a la consola serian capaces de pasarse este juego. La CONSTANTE aparición del comando "triángulo" es como poco UNA BROMA DE MAL GUSTO, un combate consiste en aporrear el botón X hasta el momento que aparece la opción del triángulo, que son como 2 segundos de combate, después de eso, aparece como 2 o 3 veces mas, en caso de ser un combate largo evidentemente, en caso de ser un combate del montón, termina al momento y a continuar la historia.

    La construcción de escenarios es una vergüenza, literalmente en boca de Tetsuya Nomura íbamos a tener menos mundos por que los que teníamos iban a ser mas grandes y mejores. VAYA TOMADURA DE PELO,los mundo NO son mas grandes, y lo peor de todo es que son lineales,hasta había mas desarrollo en ciudad de paso en el KH1 que en cualquier mundo de esta mie*** que llaman juego.

    Lo poco que salva el juego son las cosas secundarias, como el hecho de las referencias a versus XIII, el cactilio y el tema de las fotos y la cocina. Aun así, donald y goofy se encargan de que este juego hecho para niños de 8 años sea mas fácil cada segundo que pasa y te dicen cada medio paso lo que tienes que hacer o donde buscarlo.

    Los personajes. Madre mía, como explicar esto sin ponerme a insultar a nadie. ES LA PEOR CONSTRUCCIÓN DE PERSONAJES DESDE ESCUADRON SUICIDA. Al empezar el juego, evidentemente vuelven a robarte tus poderes para justificar que seas un inútil otra vez, cosa que no me pareció mal, pero SORA TIENE YA 15 AÑOS O 16 O YO QUE COJ*** SÉ, POR QUE PARECE QUE TODO EL MUNDO HA MADURADO MENOS EL, HASTA EL MALDITO GOOFY PARECE UNA PERSONA ADULTA. No hay manera de justificar que sora sea igual de infantil que Ash Ketchum, no solo sus respuestas, si no su manera de interactuar y todo, es VERGONZOSO. Axel ha pasado de ser el mejor personaje de la franquicia a una especie de pobre patán que no sabe ni que está haciendo, ojalá le hubiesen dejado muerto. La justificación de los elegidos de la oscuridad es lamentable, muchos de ellos están ahí por que no hay prácticamente mas que relleno en todos los juegos que hay entre el kh2 y el kh3, y como no querían alargar el juego presentando personajes nuevos, PUES POR QUE NO!, HAGAMOS UN REFRITO DE LOS ENEMIGOS QUE YA HEMOS MATADO 35 VECES, Y POR QUE NO, REVIVIVAMOS ALGUNOS SIN ABSOLUTAMENTE NINGUNA JUSTIFICACIÓN, TOTAL, TAN SOLO HAN PASADO 13 AÑOS!!!!. Voy al siguiente punto por que aquí podría estar 1 día entero y me duele el corazón y nunca mejor dicho de estar escribiendo esto sobre algo que ha marcado mi juventud.

    La historia. Tampoco voy a hacer un drama de esto, KH es una saga con una historia que no da para mucho más, tampoco era lo que más me gustaba de los anteriores, pero antes al menos se justificaba por el desconocimiento de lo que ocurría, pero por ser algo concretos, los mundos de disney son prácticamente como ver las películas, enredados y frozen son un claro ejemplo, no haces nada mas que ver la película en tercera persona, es como si sora viese las películas, no aporta NADA. y ya para ir al siguiente punto, el final es insultante, con el final del kh1 LLORÉ la primera vez, la mezcla de emociones y música es muy bonito, aquí ni siquiera te saca una sonrisa.

    Pero sin lugar a duda, lo peor de todo el juego, es su duración, no alcanza ni las 50 horas jugando despacio, y mas de la mitad son cinematecas que NO CUENTAN NADA. El juego es así, un combate contra 3 pringados, cinematica, 2 combates, cine*, cine*, cine*, un combate que no aporta nada, 3 cine* y así las 50 horas.

    Ah cierto, no hay acto de presencia de NADA relacionado con Square, es disney 100%, ni un solo personaje de FFantasy,ni nada. PATÉTICO.

    Hacer está crítica me duele muchísimo y ha sido la única razón de crearme la cuenta en esta página, por que ver como medios y niños puntual este juego como un 10 es DOLOROSO    … Expand

    The biggest disappointment of all time. I wish I could rate it lower. Nomura released this game unfinished. He rushed it out for a quick buck and it shows. It's lacking content the previous games had. The story has plot holes big enough to drive a bus through. I cannot believe I waited 13 years for this.

It's such a tangled mess of bloated, unnecessary nonsense now, the writers can't even keep track of their own characters. The usual incoherent gibberish of "darkness, hearts, darkness, friendship" is all there but now it's more repetitive than ever.
    The dialogue is still poorly written. World endings are usually the worst.
    The 'humour' in this game consists of characters laughing like morons at something thats not remotely funny as the camera pans out.
    The story is so phoned in, even the characters start phoning it in.
    Characters go from being total powerhouses to complete drooling potatoes in cutscenes.
    There's one cutscene in the final battle where Sora actually gets knocked unconscious from another character stumbling & falling over on him. I'm not joking. The ending is complete fan service trash & the main villain completely does a 180 on his character in the end and it's laughable and not not believable.    … Expand

    This is not what KH is about
    Game drifted away from what really defined KH as an RPG game Way too much focus in detailing Disney with no attention at all to ESSENTIAL elements as storytelling, characters, dialogues, PACING, NARRATIVE, fun and meaningful gameplay.... i could go on and on... Even tedious gameplay has been introduced in this part... ugh... what    This is not how RPG is done

    Totalmente decepcionante. Los mundos Disney acaban siendo irrelevantes y su Lore es inexistente. Un juego demasiado fácil y su Gameplay está muy roto. El juego base de ve incompleto sin el DLC y muchas de las escenas en las que vuelven personajes muy queridos están muy mal tragadas para lo que supone.

    All of Nomuras creations have been blantant abominations from a story standpoint and KH3 is no exception. I dont understand how anyone over the age of 12 can consider this nonsense story to be enjoyable.

    *An absolute mess of pacing, story-telling, writing, character-development and every other skill required to communicate an idea.* Few worlds stand out as charming (Toy Story and Big Hero 6) and when the game forgets to talk to you about hearts/light/darkness/vague metaphor device 4 and just lets you run around and hit things then there is fun to be had.* While the Pirates of the Caribbean*An absolute mess of pacing, story-telling, writing, character-development and every other skill required to communicate an idea.* Few worlds stand out as charming (Toy Story and Big Hero 6) and when the game forgets to talk to you about hearts/light/darkness/vague metaphor device 4 and just lets you run around and hit things then there is fun to be had.* While the Pirates of the Caribbean is an unwanted revisit when it allows you to explore islands with Goofy and Donald I found myself wishing that was more of the game. Worlds are all visited and left in one sitting with no narrative reason apart from "Sora you are weak get stronger" (that's the plot btw).*

    *Sora controls very awkwardly, the first thing I noticed when playing the game was Sora can even run in a circle with stuttering and skiing all over the place.* Gummi ship has been expanded into an ugly semi-open world map.* There is a lack of content and most of your playtime will be filled with endless upon endless cutscenes.* Most of which are boring. I skipped the second half of all of the Frozen cutscenes because it was just a retelling of the movie with no bearing on the rest of the game.* When it's fun, it's quite fun. But when it's not, which it very often isn't - it's awful.*    … Expand

    The game totally failed to give what it was expected, it was mediocre and story wise bad, really bad. There are just some things they should have added, more exploration of twillight town, seeing radiant garden and destiny islands and more original worlds and not so many disney worlds that just were a copy and paste.

    Worst game in the series! It doesn't deserve to be called Kingdom Hearts! Stupid story, boring gameplay and it is worse than KH2 in every aspect of the game. If you're a KH fan, don't buy this game!

    all the new KH "fans" will say "It LoOkEd So GrEaT" cause that's how easy it is to appease morons low expectations from something that was once great. the storytelling in this game and pacing sucks the Disney worlds you find out you visit are pointless and a cashgrab waste of time. the leveling and skills feel like garbage and after the Disney worlds it felt like horrible fan fictionall the new KH "fans" will say "It LoOkEd So GrEaT" cause that's how easy it is to appease morons low expectations from something that was once great. the storytelling in this game and pacing sucks the Disney worlds you find out you visit are pointless and a cashgrab waste of time. the leveling and skills feel like garbage and after the Disney worlds it felt like horrible fan fiction conclusion written by someone with downs on their deathbed. if you want a decent Kh experience play 1 & 2 main titles that was developed by a team that actually cared about the game. KH3 plaquettes to the bottom of the barrel reddit morons that really don't care about the game in its entirety they only care about if the particular character they like the most does the things they hope it does in the story and aligns with them. Kh3 is a smoking poop pile hopefully everyone that worked on this conclusion is ashamed and Nomura should get 0 praise for this conclusion if anything it only shows incapability to complete a series... to which they didn't even finish the series because the game feels like one big preview for the next game . its like the entire game is just priming you to get through this so your can pay for the next thing. the series is dead the company sucked it dry and now they're beating a dead horse and people will never know what actually makes the game good. Square enix is a POS comany and they will destroy all their good original IPs for the sake of "MoNeY' but really did they ever love these titles to begin with ? or only claim they do? because the work put into them is horrendous and anyone who says different is probably a lvl.1 scrub that wasn't even alive when the original was made and has 0 knowledge of what merit is and as long as something visually looks good everything else goes out the window circling back to appeasing morons with naturally low and crappy expectations of what makes something actually good. STOP GIVING SQUARE ENIX MONEY THEY ARE BRAINDEAD AND ONLY WANT YOUR $$$$$$$$… Expand

    This is the most cringe thing i've ever saw in my entire life. This franchise was good when the players were still children. But now it is way too annoying. Dialogues are so so bad, that ive skipped all of the end game sidequests. Gameplay doesnt make up for it too. Very repetitive. The only good thing are the enemy designs.

    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.

    If you like animated movies from Disney and Pixar, and you want to relieve some of the key moments, welcome to Kingdom Hearts 3.
