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 4387.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Inga from Start with the first I highly recommend starting from the beginning as there's a lot of references to previous storyline and I get lost as far as names and what happened before. Other than that, I really enjoy the narratives and the different worlds you visit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by amgine from A Fun Game Despite Poor Plot The lowest this game should get is 3 stars. I am giving it five stars for two main reasons: 1) Despite a poor plot and the worlds being smaller compared to the previous game, it was an excellent blast of fun! They made Sora and company meeting the new Disney and Pixar characters unforgettable, and revisiting The Caribbean 10x more fun than in the previous game 2) It was a nice ending to the Dark Seeker Saga. The ending was indeed emotional as ever, but also nice closure (I did NOT buy the Re:Mind DLC). Despite the two big cons of a poor plot and the worlds being smaller, having a ton of fun is 100% guaranteed. Playing through the game a second time is worth it just because of how much fun it is meeting the new characters, and returning to The Caribbean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Discobasilisk73 from A game to have in your library. A must own Love the combat, graphics, and gameplay. Awesomely deep hack and slasher with the coolest level design, and set pieces.

Rated 4 out of 5 by TB2890 from Great game, but familiarity of series is required. Great game, with a few minor flaws. The camera controls are a tad off at times but for the most part everything is great. Although if you have not played some of the non-numbered games in the series, you may be lost following parts of the story.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mrdiglet from Horrible waste of time I know I am late to playing this and writing a review, but between having 60% of this game is unwatchable boring cut scenes in which I pull out my phone to distract me from the misery that is this game and then when you do get to play it is a lot of the same stuff. It is somewhat fun to see the different worlds and what they do with it. But this long drawn out awful awful story makes this the worst game I have played in recent history. I'm sure there is a worse game, but I can't think of one at this moment. Unless you are a diehard Kingdom Hearts fan I suggest steering clear of this as it will be a waste of money and worse, time that you will never get back. Having wasted so much of my life playing this game will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Cityoflos from Getting Stale I had not play'ed a Kingdom Hearts game since part 2 originally came out so I was interesting on seeing how this series would "end." The gameplay was very dull, maybe my years have made me a better player, but i never felt challenged in this game. There were less than a handful of villians that beat me once but once you get beat you play cautious and really have no threat of losing. Wasn't a fan of some of the new worlds neither, monsters inc and pirates were probably the worse, Arendale was meh and the rest I can't remember. But the worse part, and nothng else comes close are the cut scenes, good god they go on forever. I would prepare myself food during the cutscenes how long these were. And while you could skip them, you play these games for the story, but my god, it got to a point where i didn't care anymore, hence the food making. It was fun to play with the trio again but maybe i'm just to may years removed from the other games and it lost its appeal. While not boring by any means it wasn't anything that excited me. That one Donald scene was awesome though. If you're a fan of the lore you'll enjoy it, casual fan I would say pass.

Rated 4 out of 5 by opCinkDaD0n from KH3 in <50 words As part of the AMAZING Kingdom Hearts franchise, it was of course a good game. A little bit disappointing in comparison to the other titles in the series, but would still highly recommend. Well worth multiple play throughs!

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.
