I loved the story because it always kept me interested and even though it gets a little too mixed up at times the charm always shines bright in the tale. Battling against various enemies always felt fun and the amount of depth within the combat made each move feel very satisfying and enjoyable. In terms of content there is a decent amount for you to get to grips with and the variety the content offers you means it very rarely becomes boring or tedious. They’ve done a wonderful job of making Kingdom Hearts III accessible to fans of the series and newcomers which means more fans will come to the table, and old fans will find nods within. Exploration in the game always feels rewarding and the little touches that have been added make the adventure even more of an immersive experience. While some may like the tutorial messages I found them to be a little annoying due to how many times they popped up. I didn’t think Kingdom Hearts III was ever going to happen let alone on Xbox, but they say good things come to those who wait and without a doubt Kingdom Hearts III is definitely a good thing. In fact from start to finish this game was more amazing than good and without a doubt fans of the series will thoroughly enjoy what this game has to offer and I urge newcomers to try the game as well. From the moment I started the game then the presentation made a whole host of memories come flooding back and when in combat to say I had fun would be a massive understatement. I was pleased to see then that in terms of content the game had a huge amount for me to get to get my hands on and exploring the beautifully designed world always felt rewarding. Another aspect of the game that always felt rewarding was the story which made me laugh and sing along the way and most important of all always kept me interested and excited to see what happened next. In terms of problems for me the game didn’t have any at all and the only frustrating thing was the tutorial messages that kept popping up but looking past this issue wasn’t really much of a problem. At the end of the day then Kingdom Hearts III has took what was so good from the previous games and made them even better and it was definitely worth the wait because I can see this game being in plenty of people’s game of the year lists. This is an absolute must buy for any fan of the series and newcomers alike. Two massive thumbs up!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is overall quite an enjoyable experience, provided you know what you're getting yourself into.

    Starting off immediately following the events of the previous game, we find ourselves quickly put into action (after the series' regular setup of CG J-Pop music videos and stat-development selection) in a hybrid Prologue/Tutorial in Olympus, greeted by Hercules and an absolutely exhausting screen with the words "Kingdom Hearts II.9" written as the most blatantly tongue-in-cheek meta-commentary this game pulls.

    Having plenty of experience with KH1 & 2 and zero playtime on any of the other games, I knew that obtuse plot details and callbacks to obscure concepts would be the norm in this game, and they are indeed endless. Having heard my fair share of terrible dialogue and plotting, I knew before even installing the game that my experience would be substantially elevated if I just chose not to care about how serious Kingdom Hearts takes itself. There are many moments of levity, of course, with even a few jabs at how ridiculous this all is. While this self-criticism is a great way to get exasperated listeners like me to crack a smile, there is a big difference in acknowledging a problem and doing something about it.

    Sora, our returning spikey-haired hero, is at the center of all these plot contrivances. It is very fortunate that they play Sora for the dumb but competent type (aka Goku), or else I feel that he would have become sick of the plot halfway through the second game and wheeled off into the sunset in his Gummi Ship. Haley Joel Osment again reprises his voice role, bringing a more mature sounding Sora while maintaining his friendly demeanor consistently through the game. Sora is joined of course by Donald and Goofy, and a highlight of the game is how most of the interactions among the three play out organically and as if they have known each other through all the past trials. For nearly all of the worlds, Sora and Co. are simply observers of truncated movie plots, only interacting with other protagonists after the elusive Organization XIII creates problems while studying each world.

    One of the stronger points in the game would be how good the writers were at melding the ethos of Sora’s enemies with the plots of the movies he journeys through. Do the Toys in Toy Story have Hearts? Is Rapunzel’s Heart of pure light threatened by her captivity or protected? The highlight of this being that the Organization does not realize that the heart inside of Davy Jones’ black treasure chest is his literal heart, not his “Heart.” Since most of these Disney stories are about good vs evil, it is interesting to see the clever ways the writers weave their original light vs dark story into the ones we’re familiar with. If only the main plot wasn’t a bunch of inconsistent, pedantic garbage.

    What is Kingdom Hearts? What’s the difference between a Heart and a soul? These questions that are fundamental to the main characters’ motivations are never sufficiently answered. At this point I’d rather them not be answered because any explanation would probably raise even more questions that I’d rather not think about.

    World design also varies in quality. None of the maps are bad but some (looking at you Monstropolis) capture the feel of the source movie but fall flat as exploration and combat opportunities go. Each world brings something new to the table though, and it is very clear that the developers were trying to give as much variety as possible. The implementation of parkour and wall-running add some great verticality to the levels that makes the environments feel more natural.

    The music in this game is, of course, exceptional. Yoko Shimomura returns with fantastic compositions and accompaniment, creating a sonic aesthetic that is always emotionally on key and captures the spirit of the Disney worlds with grace.

    Playing this game on a first-run Xbox One showed me that this game follows a trend in AAA game development: new games are meant to be played on the newest consoles available. While I have seen performance issues noted on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, I had several instances of frame drop and long load times, with a couple instances of shoddy textures and animations.

    These final couple hours are in stark contrast to the other 75% of the game where we galavant around in Disney movies getting **** all done until it’s suddenly just time to push the plot into high gear. The Disney worlds almost seem like an afterthought compared to the gravitas of the much darker final battles, where everyone gets serious and so much happens in so little time (Terra was actually Ansem’s dark guardian this whole time! Roxas is back! Two Rikus die! Ancient keyblade masters appear for backup and then disappear for no reason!) that it is clear that no one really knows what is going on...but I roll with it anyway.    … Expand

    Suggestion: If you're considering to play Kingdom Hearts III, skip the freaking cut scenes. They are dumb as hell, they make no flippin' sense and they are way too long...    … Expand

    So far.... the game feels great. The story might be a little confusing for newcomers but they did add five episodes that explain the story. They did a pretty solid job explaining the story so far. The combat system feels old school. Would've loved to see a new system but this one works well. The graphics are great. It looks better in some worlds. Overall, a great addition to the KH series.

    People may complain about the incomprehensible lack of difficulty and weird pacing. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 is not about that, except for the convoluted story but that is one of the main draws of the series and not following the other games can only put the person to guilty and not the series as a whole. It's a game with a wonderful spectacle and immense immersion to bring old fans intoPeople may complain about the incomprehensible lack of difficulty and weird pacing. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 is not about that, except for the convoluted story but that is one of the main draws of the series and not following the other games can only put the person to guilty and not the series as a whole. 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 seriously want to see people complain about lack of challenge (it's arguably the hardest the series has been up until now).

    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

    First of all I wasn't waiting for a sequel for KH 2 as I played it as a kid and I enjoyed it for the game play but the story is kinda complex that I don't quite follow how things came to be.

But it was still quite complex as always.

    Graphics of the game on the other hand is beautiful. I love the tangled world the forestry is so breathtaking. It is really a beautiful game as I proceed with the other worlds.

    Music on the other hand was on par with FF XV which means totally great nothing to complain or criticize about.

    Content on the other hand. well I was surprised why there are no Final fantasy or Square enix characters. This is basically a Disney game from this point on. They did however included the song from frozen and the Jap dub was sync with the animation so it is going the extra mile. It's just that if it's Kingdom hearts at the back of your mind you would know that a Final Fantasy character cameo should appear. There's no replay content also or new game + which is basically like KH 2.

    all in all it is a great game. and as one who didn't wanted a sequel but still got a sequel I'm really happy with this. I recommend this to Kingdom hearts fan.    … Expand

    The combat that people are complaining about CAN BE CHANGED. You can disable the animations, cut scenes, etc.

    When it comes to graphics the game is absolutely beautiful and at times is breath taking.

    The story is surprisingly easy to follow and they make sure to catch up people who haven't played previous with an entire glossary on the lore.

    Game of the year.

    It's pretty rough-- this game plays like we all never left the PS2. It lacks innovation from the games that followed. The combat system doesn't feel updated-- but feels really close to the original two games. The graphics are in this weird in between stage where it looks like they tried to update what they started working on for the current generation. The UI looks like a ps2 reshell.

But the worst thing about this game is the story and the dialogue. The story is a convoluted mess-- and don't even think of playing this game without replaying the previous one. It's not going to refresh your memory nor get new players caught it. Once you're in the game, it's a struggle to know what's going on--and who everyone is. It's insanely convoluted. Going from Red Dead 2 to this only made it more apparent. They really needed a proper team of writers for this. And if the story wasn't bad enough, the dialogue pushes it over the edge. The characters have weird, unnatural pauses when speaking. And their dialogue is written stilted and unnatural-- and no amount of acting could save it. There are also moments when you feel like characters should speak-- but they're mute instead. That said, the worlds are beautiful and it was nice to have a conclusion to the series. But this wasn't the conclusion it deserved. Nostalgia can carry a game far-- and that's certainly true here in KH3's case-- but it wasn't far enough.… Expand

    This is the worst KH game I've played in the franchise. I'd go into details but instead I'll just say what I liked and the reason I haven't given it a lower score. The graphics and art are generally pleasing - even when combat is a confusing splash of colors - it looks pretty. Otherwise this game was trash, I played to the end + extras and wish I hadn't wasted my time

    I’d honestly give Kingdom Hearts III a 5.5/10. Definitely wait for the Final Mix to come before buying this game as it’s like FF15, half completed and hella easy. Sure, KH3’s graphics and scenery are absolutely stunning. And sure, the music is absolutely amazing! However, beyond that it is an honest let-down and disappointment in the story, in character development, and in playability. ItI’d honestly give Kingdom Hearts III a 5.5/10.

And sure, the music is absolutely amazing! However, beyond that it is an honest let-down and disappointment in the story, in character development, and in playability. It just feels rushed and uncompleted (ironic for a game 5 years in the making). For starters, Square Enix cut MANY things from the game. Tetsuya Nomura stated that there would be well over 90+ hours of content, when in actuality; it’s closer to 35 -45 hours of content. You literally spend 2/3's of the entire game traversing Disney worlds and goofing around which none of it matters in the slightest and doesn't really do anything at all to progress the plot or the characters (Note: you can clearly tell which worlds they spent far more time and resources on than others. Some worlds, only get one tiny little area). On that note, the worlds that people actually wanted to fully explore in all their 4K HD glory were basically reduced to just backgrounds for cut scenes and for the plot (Realm of Darkness, Land of Departure, Keyblade Graveyard, The Final World, Scala ad Caelum, and to a lesser extent, Twilight Town). Then, all the major plot points and major stuff happens quickly and almost back-to-back in the last 1/3 of the game. Before you know it, you're fighting the final boss out of the blue and the games over. Heroes and Villains fly in and out of the story so quick that you just might miss them if you blink. The reunions of 1) Aqua, Ven, and Terra; and 2) Axel, Roxas, and Xion; are completely rushed. Basically, they are brought back at the last minute for fan service and to make sense of the plot before moving on. Hell, don't even get me started on the characters. The dialogue exchange and voice acting is good in certain places, but is often just cringy and awkward. Any many of the characters don’t even have much of a personality *ahem*…Kairi *ahem*. Speaking of which, the characters: Kairi, Lea, Riku, Aqua, Ventus, Terra, and King Mickey are now weak and useless. In fact, the Disney characters in the worlds you visit are significantly more powerful than they are. Minigames are another problem. Minigames are supposed to be fun and enjoyable challenges that offer additional rewards when added to a game for optional playability. However, that's not the case when multiple minigames are pushed into the main story and are required to progress said story. Furthermore, Square Enix made the game insanely easy, even on hard mode. Fights required little-to-no planning or preparation. I never even died once on hard mode or had to retry an encounter. Going to attractions, I understand that attractions were supposed to be cool and epic, but not when you get like three prompts for an attraction every single bloody fight. It got annoying and boring rather quick. I only used the meals once, in the final battle. I didn’t even need to use the meals because everything was too easy. Lastly, the game mechanics are still clearly broken. You can still easily button-mash X/A to win the game. Also, a player can obtain 99 Moogle Post Cards within 1 hour for only 5,000 Munny; they can easily obtain level 99 within an hour; and they can easily and quickly get 999,999 Munny.

    *sighs* Look, it’s an okay game. It’s fine to like a game and it’s fine to dislike a game. There are many people who liked KH3 and many who didn’t. It has good and bad qualities. However, you do have to recognize and realize all of its flaws and shortcomings. Because many of us who are long-time hardcore KH fans and who grew up with the series will tell you, KHI and KHII were are significantly longer and better than KHIII.    … Expand

When you are actually able to play the game between the neverending spew of cutscenes it was a pretty fun button masher. The most fun I had was after I beat the game and was going back through all the world's trying to 100% the achievement list. I wasn't bombarded by cutscenes and was actually able to just play the game at my own pace. All in all it is a solid game though I felt a little let down after waiting all these years for KH3. It did fulfill my cravings for a good button mashing game. The visuals were great as was the combat system. The background music could grow increasingly annoying and I found myself lowering the volume or outright muting my tv at times when I would spend extended time in a world listening to the same tune over and over. Overall I put 50 hours into 100%ing KH3 and while there was many times of frustration, overall it is playable and has its enjoyable moments.… Expand

    Combat-wise, the game is okay. It feels worse than Kh2, put bluntly, and it often muddles you up with all of the random, intrusive Y-button commands. Many enemies don't telegraph nearly well enough for you to be able to handle combat in a balanced way. You either need to just spam attack and hope or always be blocking. That said it still feels okay, but in the end, its kind of a messy jumble of a bunch of the game's mechanics mashed into one system.

    Honestly, the thing this game does passably is the way the Pixar worlds' plots are handled. They actually have unique and new storylines that don't just mirror the movies, and give you a nice feeling of having a new experience with an IP you know.

    As a whole though, the worlds felt shallow, and by the end of the game, you sort of realize they were essentially just time sinks put in the way of the plot of the game. I actually don't remember if there was ever justification for going to any of the Disney or Pixar worlds, they were just our only choice.

    I'm also expecting a money-grubbing story DLC in a few months, so at least we have that to look forward to...    … Expand

    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, TWEWYou ni nada. PATÉTICO.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the game has a more polished gameplay than its predecessors and an interesting system of key evolution (which seems more an excuse for not doing more keys than a mechanical one) I consider that it has many negative points that make it end with a 6 (And it would be a 7 if it were not because they already said that in the future DLC is going to develop more the plot, thing that at first was not thus).

    The worlds are much better elaborated and visually are superior to those of any previous delivery (Although in general the game could have been much better in terms of graphics is concerned, that simplicity in the textures seems horrible), but, removing the want to get the secret endings, does not invite you to explore them since the chests only give you materials, potions or MINIJUEGOS MALDITOS OF CLASSIC KINGDOM, and little else you find in them, especially because the extra mini-games practically throw them in your face (That's another , this KH has too many Minigames), you travel the world from A to B and already, unless you want 100%, that then you have to spend two hours looking for symbols of the noses, which are sometimes searched or original and others are. .. well, look Arendelle.

    Pooh's world is quite complete, they could have saved it, I do not understand what it looks like or what grace it has. They give you a key and you have three minigames that are the same but with four changes (And for me they are the worst of KH3), you can do them all at once and when you finish you do not have to do anything there again.

    About the mini-games, as I said a moment ago, there are too many, I do not understand why but it seems that they have been more concerned with the Classic Kingdom system (remember that you can play in KHUX) than by giving a plot sense to the plot . You have the mini-games of the flans, almost 1 per world, the gazillion minigames of Classic Kingdom, the slide with the shield in Olympus and Arendelle, the Rattatoui (Which by the way, did not need that every time you go through any ingredient, Goofy or Donald have a voice command, it's horrible) and the Pooh minigame.

    The combat is cool, especially with this new system in which the keys get transformations (Although a little ugly that recycle with Starlight) but this mechanics is precisely the one that loads all the others (Except attractions that end up being more of a nuisance ) since you will not use magic or Tino if you have something more comfortable and without penalty or cost (In fact I will have used Tino once or twice throughout the game, sincerely it is the combat skill that happens the most unnoticed).

    The difficulty system is absurd, and as they said nothing in an interview is why they wanted to attract what is casuals, and I think it's cool, more people can play them, but for that there is the CHOICE OF DIFFICULTY, if I want pass the game fast and easy or I'm new in the saga I get EASY or NORMAL, not DIFFICULT, it seems to me the most absurd excuse in the world Why do you give me to choose if all are easy, what happens with experienced players, and those that are not as good as for a Master mode? I know how to play KH but I do not want to play a Master mode, I want a mode of difficulty that is a moderate challenge, not a walk or a torture, I spent the game without spending extra potions of those because they were not needed.

    On the Gumi ships, I love 3D mode, I do not understand why the fights are still in 2D, and that I do not let you choose inverted control for 3D and normal for 2D, it touched my nose a lot, I had to change it every time I was in combat, but that's more personal.

    About the story, and possibly what people are most upset about: It's chaos. I play UX and that's why I surely understand many references (In fact I go out in the game in a certain scene thanks to that) but there are too many points that develop as Nomura likes, with mystery about mystery and shot because it touches me. Not only does it not clarify many of the things that are taught in KHUX but it is adding more for the new saga (Two new UX carriers, the super "mysterious" end of those who loves to do Nomura, Scale, the end of Daybreak, etc). The part of Disney is pure filler, I had never felt so stuffed as before, in fact there is a world where literally does not affect the plot at all. The final part, which is where you are supposed to tell everything (I already say no) is a run-over succession of combats (quite entertaining, it has to be said) that, due to its speed at the moment of telling you the things, you can not just empathize with the moment, there are even things that come out so forced that Nomura has already had to clarify that they will be counted in the future DLC (EjemXionejem). Honestly in that aspect I think I could have taken better advantage of the succession of events throughout the game to do something more stable.

    It is usually a game that you can enjoy playing, but it is not as good as expected.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kingdom Hearts 3 was the most anticipated title in the series, promising to give us a satisfying ending as well as tying up any loose ends with a brand new combat system and emphasis on world building. While the game's soundtrack and worlds are definitely the highlight of the series, the game left far too much to be desired for a so called "Grand Finale". The two greatest problems with this game are the overall pacing of the story and it's new combat system. Combat is incredibly easy, a veteran can expect a maximum of 8 - 10 hours with this title while a newcomer/returning fan can expect a maximum of 20. Combat is super floaty, the fact that Sora gains even more air combos as he levels up is actually mind numbing. While this may feel incredibly rewarding and fun the first 15 times, being able to perfect a boss simply because of air combos should reveal this as a problem. Even at the highest difficulty, the final boss could easily be countered by simply blocking his first attack and then launching him into the air to air combo him. The story is definitely the worst part of this title, it should leave a sour taste in your mouth by simply how unrewarding, random and down right lazy the writing is. While the game does a better job than the others at explaining the events leading up to this title (It has 5 episodes explaining the other games), characters will start reviving and dying completely randomly with absolutely no build up at all. For example, the worst example of this is the return of fan favorite (And my personal favorite as well) Roxas himself. We are at the FINAL BATTLE when he is introduced. THE FINAL BATTLE. One should expect that our characters would want to be able to have human emotions and reactions upon seeing the return of THEIR DEAD FRIENDS. In the same fight, Xion is revived with no explaination other than "Xemnas had clones of everyone because obviously having a replica of the two organization members that were trying to dismantle your work and stop you from attaining your goal should be CLONED JUST IN CASE". In this boss fight, we witness both Xion's return, Roxas' return, the "almost-death" of Axel, we see Kairi fighting for the first time, we see the 358 trio reunite, we see Kairi being kidnapped again and we also see Axel being gay with the moon guy. WHAT IS THIS GAME.

    Not to mention the fact that the main villains of the story are doing **** during the first 80% of the game. In previous titles, you would have encounters with the main villains while doing **** in Disney worlds and have fights or dialogue that would help move the story. Instead this game assassinates the characters in order to hype up and foreshadow the events of Kingdom Hearts IV.

    I have no **** idea what they were thinking with their world building. There is seemingly useless levels of depth and effort put into making these worlds. Pirates of the Carribbean has multiple large islands hidden with **** crabs that you would use to upgrade your ship. The problem is that there is no **** point into upgrading the ship because no one wants to look for 3000 **** crabs, and the boss battles that include the ship battles are made so easy that a child can do them by simply mashing the prompts. Big Hero 6 has multiple large cities filled with detailed diverse buildings. Many of these buildings even have some interiors. The problem is that the city is completely **** empty with nothing to do but run up a skyscraper and jumping off in the hopes that it **** kills you.

    The soundtrack is still amazing, and there are a few moments in the game were I was genuinely having fun. The presentation of the game is amazing, the amount of freedom you have with flow motion and gliding is great, and returning to some Disney worlds with original stories (Such as Monsters Inc) was a pleasant surprise.

    In closing, this was a genuinely disappointing experience especially because of the multiple delays, the long ass **** development time and all they hype they kept promising. With the story being so rushed and being as far as possible from any Kingdom Hearts magic, it seemed as if they deleted the entire story on accident and rewrote it in a few days. Either that or they completely mismanaged their time and effort into making this game seem pretty instead of actually giving us a proper ending.    … Expand

    Kingdom hearts 3 es un juego muy completo, variado y divertido. Su jugabilidad es la mejor de la saga, sus graficos hermosos, la historia es interesante, sin embargo, es muy molesto que las cinemáticas sean tan largas, pero igual la historia no es lo mas importante en un videojuego.

    Such a terrible experience. The story is definitely the worst part of it, Nomura really needs to calm his own ego and re-learn how to make good games.

    Combat is the only saving grace of this game but other than that it is a mess. If you want to just poorly rehash some Disney movies than this is the game for you.

    The game is visually beautiful, but the writing in this game is very dumbed down quite a bit which becomes a distraction, the ending was great but not fully satisfied as you need to purchase DLC to finish the ending which isn't ideal. Combat, pace, music, free roam, and graphics are all but fantastic!

    This game has an acceptable number of levels but with long duration that it becomes tedious to play.
    If you are a new player you will NOT understand the story well
    It has more cinematics than decent gameplay

    But all in all I really enjoyed what I get. A 3rd full game with Sora where you are companied from Donald and Goofy just like the first and the second game. The Graphics and animations are really well made. And the soundtrack is thanks to the composer Yoko Shimomura great as always.

    If you like Action RPG's, Disney or Anime, you should give Kingdom Hearts 3 a shot. You might like it. :-)

    Since it is a continuation of the story though, I would recomment to play "KIngdom Hearts: The Story so far" first and then come to this title.    … Expand

    Story is confusing as ever, but everything else is mostly good.

    Pros: - everything looks amazing. Characters, environment, and everything - disney story and characters are true to their movies - the ending is really good. Wraps up the saga nicely - combat is cool. Lots of abilities, and very flashy - recap theatre summarizes the past games for new comers Cons: -    Story is confusing as ever, but everything else is mostly good.

    - recap theatre summarizes the past games for new comers

    Cons:

    - Sora is still very childish and doesn't seem to have grown up despite all the **** he's been through

    - some very childish worlds and themes. OG audience is now late 20s and into 30s. Not really suitable for us.

    - combat at the beginning is super easy

    - story is too metaphorical. Really hard to understand

    - too many villains introduced. Too little character development of the Org 13 members for me to care enough about each one.    … Expand

    If writing and dubbing drowned in a less childish The game would have looked much better! If gameplay if story and cutscreens a little less lukewarm (characters not related at all to the game) could have done much better.

    It doesn’t quite reach the level of quality found in Kingdom Hearts II (which I don’t particularly think is fair because I don’t like to compare a sequel to its predecessor when said predecessor was one of the best games ever made), but I find it hard to believe that any fan of this series would walk away from Kingdom Hearts III unsatisfied.

    Inconsistent but entertaining, packed with likeable, iconic characters. [Issue#225, p.72]

    Kingdom Hearts III is a fitting conclusion to this Dark Seeker saga; and by fitting, I mean a hodge-podge of ideas and sub-plots that don’t always seem to work but still manage to muster something pretty decent.
