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.

Adventure in Disney and Pixar Worlds - Embark on an adventure that spans the Disney universe: Travel across Disney and Pixar worlds to protect them from the Heartless invasion, and befriend and join heroes from Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Big Hero 6, Tangled, Hercules, and more!

It's a fun game.

9 months ago

The game work perfectly, the only thing I hate is that they give you the game with no cover art. I brought it online so I couldn't choose it for myself. It would be nice if they could do a simple print out I would even pay 3 to 5 dollars extra for it and given the option to buy or not.

Buying online from GameStop is ALWAYS an issue. This is a fairly new, modern game. I ordered for in store pick up. When I got there , the clerk handed my just the disc in a generic paper sleeve. No. What a waste of time!

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.

A Fun Game Despite Poor Plot

Amgine

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.

Length of ownership: 1 year or longer

A game to have in your library. A must own

Discobasilisk73

Love the combat, graphics, and gameplay. Awesomely deep hack and slasher with the coolest level design, and set pieces.

Length of ownership: 3 months

Great game, but familiarity of series is required.

TB2890

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.
