    Most of unfair critics toward KH by people who called themselves fans are just absurd. This game is not perfect, but it also doesn't deserve 0 score. Mob mentality at its worst tbh. The story is decent, the graphics is excellent, only the gameplay imo need some fixing.

Although the characterization are not so deep, you can really see how each character is different from each other through their gestures, interaction, etc. The combat is fun but need some adjustment to increase the difficulty so each battle you go through would feel more rewarding. The combat has very solid base, but not so solid balancing. I get it that the main complaint toward this game relates to the story pacing, but tbh with Nomura saying he decided to keep the story as simple as possible I couldn't think of other way to progress the story other what this game has done. Some fans might find it disappointing, but often what's best for the game might not necessarily what fans think is the best for the game and I think KH3 fits this definition. KH3 is definitely a great game. It just need more content, some adjustment toward the gameplay/combat and add more exposition to the story.… Expand

    Wonderful game. Although it's a bit too easy, it's easily the most customizable and the most complete vanilla KH game to date. Worth the money and time. I'm excited about the update and DLC they've announced

Y sere directo, es muy positiva. Y no, no me estan pagando, y si, soy un gran fan de los anteriores kingdom hearts, de hecho creo que solo me falto jugar los de celular y el chains of memories, asi que no se dejen guiar por esos viejos amargados que esperaban un nuevo mesias de juego, porque si bien no lo es, sigue siendo una experiencia fascinante.

    Para empezar los estetico claramente es lo que mas resalta, pero para mi sorpresa esta vez los mundos si se sentian vivos. Me sorprendio ver que colocaran ciudadanos y personas en los mundos para darles mas vida, algo que no tenian los otros KH y admito que me molestaba. De hecho me sorprendio mas que colocaran personajes de las peliculas muy secundarios pero que al menos le daban sentido a la trama como otros dioses del olimpo, la tripulacion de Jack Sparrow, los compañeros de Big Hero 6, etc. Ese nivel de inmersion me dejo con una gran sonrisa visitando los mundos.

    Ahora lo que es la trama, admito que mas de una vez bosteze con algunas, pero eso es algo que pasaba en otros kingdom hearts, ya que la trama no es mala pero es cursi, pero eso es lo que hace kingdom hearts. Ya saben, el poder del amor, de la amistad, todo tiene sentido en ese mundo aunque a veces saque un par de bostezos por no ser un tema muy impactante jaja, pero bueno es kingdom hearts. Asi que la escencia para mi, sigue siendo la misma.

    Si encontre que quizas deberian haberle dado mas enfasis a algunos villanos como en el primer KH donde todos estaban juntos como una especie de liga de la maldad, ya que vencer a David Jones la verdad lo senti algo de relleno. Me hubiera gustado que algunos villanos tuvieran mas interaccion con Sora para que a la hora de los discursos de amistad estos tuvieran mas fuerza.

    Aun asi entiendo que los principales villanos con los que interactuar son los de la organizacion XIII y sus despedidas finales me mantuvieron bien atento e interesado.

    El sistema de combate es muy bueno, rapido, entretenido, y fuera de lo que algunos dicen, no es tan FACIL como creen. Me da risa que algunos videos que hablan mal del juego tachandolo de facil solo colocan grabaciones de los monstruos en el primer nivel que es el de hercules. O sea es como obvio que esos no seran tan agresivos como el resto, pero en mas de una ocasion estuve a punto de morir en los mundos mas avanzados. Y eso que juego en normal y tengo mucha experiencia a mis espaldas. Obviamente no es una dificultad abrumadura pero creo que es suficientemente aceptable.

    Personalmente viajar entre mundos me entretiene ya que puedo pasar un buen rato armando mi nave gummy y tratando de desarrollar mis combos y habilidades en las que no soy tan bueno como al bloquear.

    En fin, para no alargarme mas, Kingom Hearts es un gran juego que para mi se vale todo el dinero que le inverti, (version normal, yo no compro deluxes ni cosas) y hasta ahora llevo un gran rato jugandolo.    … Expand

    Was it worth the wait? Absolutely. Is it the best one in the series? I wouldn't say that. Nut it is the best looking out of them all. It's great to see brand new worlds to explore and new combat mechanics to this fun adventure. Though it kinda left me questioning the ending. There is still lots to love about this one.

I really enjoyed different things in this game like the end of Xehanort, the awakening of Ventus, Terra that battles and defeats his darkness (I mean Terra-Xehanort) thanks to Sora too, Aqua that comebacks to the realm of light after a very beautiful boss fight between Sora and Riku against her and then, one of the thing that I appreciated the most, when Lea(or Axel if you want), Roxas and Xion reunite after a while, it was very emotional.… Expand

But I could not help feeling a sense of disconnection to the series - maybe because it's been so many years since I played KH2 on the PS2. I felt distant to this game I love with all my heart; it was a bittersweet experience, I suppose.

    Another 'issue' with the game is that it feels... kind of rushed? I feel bad to pick problems, I really wish I could say KH3 is perfect; but it's not. The story is confusing as always (but this is nothing new); the problem is it felt even more confusing and the pace of the game does not help at all. It's like they threw a bunch of disney worlds at us, without a proper narrative between them; just go from planet to planet while piecing out (our trying to) the very confusing and weird story they are telling.

    But all the rest is pure eye candy. The characters, the gameplay, the special attacks, the funny banter. It's pure KH we all know and love.

    Maybe all this sense of 'weirdness' is due to the long time this game is being developed. That's how I feel, at least. Kingdom Hearts 3 is a beautiful, amazing, product of love. It's just not THE Kingdom Hearts 3 I was expecting.    … Expand

    For all intents and purposes it's a Kingdom Hearts game through and through. It still has the same spirit and soul that the previous entires in the game have. The combat mechanics have been refined fairly well, without straying too far from the path. The game looks about as good as it ever did.

    With that being said, there are some flaws in this diamond.

    To begin with, there is a technical aspect to the game that can sometimes be borderline disappointing. When the Xbox One and Playstation 4 Pro made their debuts, both companies made a point to hammer in the fact that all games would work across all consoles, games wouldn't suffer on the older hardware, but instead, users could expect a better, more premium experience with the newer, updated models of hardware.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case with Kingdom Hearts 3. Playing on the original PS4 or the Slimline models, players are going to be faced with slightly muddier colors, jagged textures and a frames issue that can bounce anywhere from 60FPS, to 30FPS and in some cases, down into the low twenties. It's 2019, this game has been in development for 15 years, this kind of technical performance and occasional slow down isn't accetable anymore and I am surprised Square thought htis would be okay.

    While the graphics look great on the Playstation 4, many of the character models have a tendency to lack emotions in their faces. A lot of the times, they look like pieces of clay that are talking. This tends to lead to a lot of weird, uncanny valley moments where the dialog being spoken isn't being properly displayed on faces.

    The dialog and writing is another aspect really aren't up to standard. A lot of the English voice acting sounds off, not a lot, but enough for people to question what's going on. How characters talk and the inflection of their voices aren't always great and a lot of the dialog can come off as overly cheesy.

    One of the most early surprises in the game for many people familiar with the franchise is a complete lack of dialog from Phil. A character that is usually overly chatty and sarcastic is completely silent in the game, giving them an almost errie feeling. This was a terrible decision from Square and it's one of the most obvious glairing flaws early on in the game.

    Finally, for a game franchise that started off with quite a bit of darker undertones, more often than not, the game feels way too overly cheery and feels like Disney had a much larger impact on the development of the game, going as far as having special movies, skills and spells that actually mimic some of their well known attraction park rides. The game, writing and dialog feels overly optimistic to the point that it negatively impacts the game.

    At the end of the day, it's a great game with some flaws that I feel like, personally, could have been buffed out if Square simply had paid a bit closer attention to details.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Really good game. Improve's on everything the previous games does. Best graphics in the series. Best combat system. Much much bigger worlds and better story in general.

    Anyone voting 0 on this game has either not played a Kingdom Hearts game before or are simply here for the sake of trolling. Just ignore them. If you like Kingdom Hearts, know that this is the best game in the series and you won't be disappointed.

    Edit: Having finished the game, I have to adjust my score from a 10 to an 8. Why?

    There are way too few worlds. Only 9 with one (100 Acre Woods) just being a mini game is way too little. Also Twilight Town is super small and leaves out many areas from previous games.

    There is also way too many lengthy cutscenes. At times you can watch cutscenes for as long as 30 minutes between play segments.

    The game is too short too. Waiting 13 years for a game that can be completed in less than 25 hours is just meh.

    People who wanted more Kingdom Hearts story and less Disney will be disappointed as pretty much 80% of the game is pure Disney and most Kingdom Hearts story is told in the beginning and end of the game.

    Don't get me wrong. The game is good. I just had higher expectations than this.    … Expand

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a long time fan of this series, I have to admit it and say this is not one of my favourites in the franchise. In saying that, I really enjoyed the story and the progression. The combat feels incredible and the story hit me right in the feels. Basically up until the nearing end of the game I was having the time of my life.
    Something shifted towards the end. It just seemed to go downhill from this point on a gameplay perspective. For a starters, the boss fight itself just felt very uninspired and lazy. The landscape shifts were clever, but they were nothing much more than cosmetic changes to the fight and served as a slight distraction. That isn't even the biggest disappointment for me.
    The things that upset me the most were:
    A) noticing that so many worlds could have either been added or simply made bigger. Twilight Town is so tiny and has practically nothing in it after the main story, no Traverse Town at all and 100 Acre Wood is literally ONE area with 3 mini games.
    B) There are barely any optional Ultra Bosses. To my understanding, theres only the dark inferno and the gummi ship boss.
    C) No critical mode and Proud mode was quite easy. I'm not exaggerating here, I beat the entire game at level 38 :
    D) My final and biggest complaint, boring end game. Most of the time, I was exploring these worlds knowing what I had to do, but with no drive to do them. I literally said to myself "I don't know if I want to do this". Unless you are going towards the ultima weapon and trying to platinum the game, there is basically no incentive or reason to do all the things that are optional. Compare it to KH1 & 2, everything you did gave you a sense of satisfaction and reward towards the next thing. Here, you tediously grind the same things in massive worlds and try looking for treasures which take far too long than they should. There is certainly stuff to do, but I dont think they are fun. The battle gates are decent and challenging, but thats the best you're going to get from my experience. Its just a shame and plenty of missed opportunities. Its as if so many things were scraped in development.

    Ok enough of the negativity. With all those things out of the way, I can still recommend this game to anybody whether you're new to the series or a long time fan like myself. Just like any other KH game, the core gameplay is fun as hell and always will be. Combat is great (apart from the situation command stacking), the emotions kick in hard, the music makes every battle feel so epic, the story telling while complicated is also very well written and heart felt. I think it started and ended nicely for the Xehanort Saga and I was extremely satisfied with the game progression.

    In a nutshell, buy this game. It is worth your time and it is worth your money.
    So much love has been crafted into the game and I'm sure there will be things you really like. Just don't get your hopes up on the end game. There's not much going for it there which is very sad to say.    … Expand

One of the absolute main issues is that fact this suffers from its franchise heritage so any new players will be completely lost storywise, it has useful flashbacks and explains partly some of the events that lead up to KH3 but really does require you to have played some of the previous games to really appreciate this game.

    I liked the overall improvements to the gummi ship section, giving the player full freedom of movement and to explore finding power-ups, fighting bosses and waves of enemies is a fun distraction, the downside is that it can get a bit tedious after a while especially when your short of money and this is pretty much the only way to farm.

    The voice acting is essentially, although Donalds voice occasionally sounds way off especially when talking about resources nearby, sounds like the poor VA has strep-throat or something =P

    Overall, its a pretty great game, well above average but a few minor issues hold it back.    … Expand

    I was hoping for more of a finality on the series but the ending left me feeling like we'll see another game in about 10 years or so... I loved what I played but I feel like the series needs to come to a close. 8/10, will be buying the next game on the PS6 I guess.

    Great Video Game, very fun and enjoyable to listen to, and has amazing graphics

    Update: after playing the whole game series from 1 and portable games; this game is like Arkham Knight where the main story is just the conclusion of it, and in that regard, it's a great game however is not best as i think the second game is the best of the series.

    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.
