Kingdom Hearts III

A Main Attraction Worth Waiting For

by Kimberley Wallace

9.5

Concept

Visit Disney worlds with Sora and company to put a stop to antagonist Xehanort's evil deeds

Graphics

With detailed environments and character models, the series looks better than ever. The Disney worlds are especially impressive, matching the movies they represent wonderfully

Sound

Main composer Yoko Shimomura's ability to capture Kingdom Hearts' emotional essence shines here yet again. The classic Disney music helps bring each world to life, and watching Sora explore Frozen while Let It Go plays makes me grin

Playability

The action-based combat is easy to learn, but has enough depth to keep you engaged. Multiple difficulty levels let players of all skill levels get into the action, but the previous story threads aren't as easy to follow

Entertainment

With higher stakes, Kingdom Hearts III is a lot of spectacle in the best way possible. It isn't afraid to go big, but it also doesn't forget what made fans fall in love in the first place

Replay

Moderate

If Disney has taught us anything, it's to believe in magic. The company's partnership with Square Enix may have seemed unlikely 17 years ago, but Kingdom Hearts became a phenomenon with a dedicated fanbase that remained invested in a sprawling story spanning eight entries and multiple consoles. Now, Kingdom Hearts III finally takes the next major step in that journey, giving fans what we've been waiting for: resolution. The new installment addresses threads that have been left hanging for years, and it does so by leveraging the Disney magic that seems to make anything possible. The result is the series at its strongest, and most importantly, it provides satisfying answers to the biggest question marks.

The story is a dream come true for devoted fans. Kingdom Hearts III explores plot points that wind through 358/2 Days, Birth by Sleep, Re:coded, and more; the narrative picks up where Dream Drop Distance left off, with Sora attempting to regain and enhance his lost power to stand a chance against Xehanort. So much has happened to so many different characters in the franchise, and spotting these familiar faces in Kingdom Hearts III and learning what they've been up to is exciting and makes the years of investment feel worthwhile. Like many fans, I've been wondering the fate of beloved characters, such as Aqua, Roxas, and Naminé. Kingdom Hearts III takes these arcs in intriguing and surprising directions, while also providing some closure. Let's just say there are some cool scenes that still stick out in my mind, especially after waiting nearly a decade to see if Birth by Sleep's Aqua, Ventus, and Terra would ever be reunited.

As much as I enjoyed the tale, newcomers (and even old fans who have just missed a few entries) will probably have a hard time following many portions. A memory archive in the menu provides short videos to get you up to speed or refresh your memory, but they're not comprehensive. As a result, this is not a good place to jump into the series, but it remains rewarding for those who are already invested.

Reviews

Kingdom Hearts III is rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4078.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ravage from Confusing, slightly odd, seriously fun. As someone who skipped to KH3 from the first KH, I was terribly confused by the plot, but the game is excellent. The inclusion of "attractions" seems silly and money-hungry to me, and the voice acting has odd pauses and seems disjointed. Overall, though, I'm quite happy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lucki123 from Good but too much talking scenes Never played these games before so I decided to try. Game mechanics and play are good graphics are good. But the talking scenes are too much and way to long. I have watched more videos than actually played.

Rated 5 out of 5 by haruko from Kingdom Hearts 3 Played KH 1 & 2 during my teen years and like many of us, waited many years for KH 3! I was bummed when I found out it wasn’t going to feature FF characters, but after playing it and listening to the gorgeous soundtrack, I was not disappointed. Definitely loving KH 3!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shaykira Hal from Overall Game. Instantly felt like I was transported back in time. Little me would be stoked to know how phenomenal this game is. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and Unreal Engine’s graphics really amped up the feeling in this game. I can’t wait for KH4.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RaDappa from Kingdom Hearts Great game, a little shorter than I would’ve liked. Easy gameplay even on harder difficulties.

Rated 3 out of 5 by David27345 from What happened to dual wielding? So I had pretty high expectations for this game. I have waited for this game to come out for over a decade. There are several things that I find are wrong with this game. The first thing, what happened to dual wielding? Wasn't that like a big feature in the second game? The biggest thing that is wrong is the story. There are truck loads of cut scenes which is fine because I like cut scenes, but the story is absent. there is a lot of mindless running around from worlds, but the story appears to be hollow and absent. Also, the graphics are great with the cut scenes, but the game play graphics appear to resemble PlayStation 3 rather than PlayStation 4. I think some of the worlds are fun to play in and I like how the style has been preserved. It has the kingdom hearts feel to it but lacks any real story. I am happy the Gummi Ship is back, and there seems to be improvements with that. I like some of the bosses and the music is quite good. Overall I liked the game but I feel that it was rushed.

Kingdom Hearts III Reviews - page 2

I don't own a ps4, gonna pick this up but would it run okay (with framerate and stuff) on a regular ps4/ps4 slim or should I pick up the pro for the best experience? (I don't own a 4k TV, just concerned about performance)

Asked by: skrrrrrrt

I have a old PS4 and I have been playing Kingdom Hearts 3 for over a week now and it  has no problems with running the game and I haven’t noticed any problems with lag or framerate related issues.
