Kingdom Hearts III Reviews
Kingdom Hearts is still peerless; there’s really nothing else like it.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is rather enjoyable to play but it will end up being the black sheep of the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
Kingdom Hearts 3 As expected, it's nostalgic and full of popular cartoon and non-cartoon characters. But the game has not been good enough in the areas of narration, characterization and stage design, and it loses its excitement and charm over time.

While it has several problems, Kingdom Hearts III is pure fan service and is an overall great game. I do not recommend it for those unfamiliar with the series, for even if you watch or read a summary of the story, it will not mean as much.
Kingdom Hearts III is an incredible game, and a worthy successor to its last numbered installment, the series’ best Kingdom Hearts II. Newcomers will be lost in its story but in love with its realized, exciting worlds and riveting combat. Veterans will find strategies to master new gameplay elements and hang on every word and plot beat as almost two decades of storytelling draws to a close while also laying an exciting groundwork for the future of the series. Kingdom Hearts III is in many ways a triumph, and the sheer number of things it does so right outnumber what it does wrong.
Kingdom Hearts III is an exciting continuation of one of the most ambitious and dreamy video games of all time. The story takes place in a world where the destiny of Sora and his companions intervenes with the destiny of precious Disney characters; a world where love, hope, and joy reign supreme over anger, hatred, and lust for power. With a blend of cherished Disney characters, innovative gameplay, a story featuring childish innocence, and a catchy soundtrack, this game is sure to be a memorable experience.

Fans of the series will continue to fall in love with this recent installment. Kingdom Hearts 3 plays similarly as its predecessors, while bringing new elements to the gameplay that make it feel fresh.
Kingdom Hearts III is a product of a development hell. It has too many ideas, too many characters, and too many mistakes holding it back. It is a fun experience that I recommend just for how addictive and smooth the combat is. Kingdom Hearts III is a fun game, it just easily could have been a great one.
Kingdom Hearts III is a confusing and sometimes tiring fireworks display of ambition and passion. The charm and wholesome nature of the Disney worlds, the flashy and frenetic battles, the gargantuan scope and scale of it all, all of this works in its favor to be something really unique but there's a lot dragging it all down too.
I've gotten some sense of closure after the credits rolled in Kingdom Hearts 3 and it wasn't quite what I wanted, but that doesn't make it unworthy of being experienced. It's hard to say this game was worth the long wait, as the story is still a mess, but Square-Enix showed some real love in crafting this experience. There's definitely some highs, and quite a few lows, but seeing this journey through is ultimately satisfying. And if you've been in it for the long haul, then you'll probably come away pleased.
Kingdom Hearts 3 offers a unique adventure which remains unrivalled by any other IP due to its crossover nature
The prospect of Disney parks and reality are two very different things. No-one thinks about the crowded places, the huge bills, or the huge waiting times. They think about the Disney magic. Kingdom Hearts is very much the same. There are some negative elements, paramount of which is the utterly incomprehensible story and the repetitive gameplay. However, like the parks, all those negative elements are soon forgotten when experiencing the game. Each of the Disney worlds completely captures the magic of the movies, plucking the heartstrings and embracing the nostalgia. This is exactly what fans of the series wanted and, best of all, somehow, someway, all the crazy plot threads are dragged together, kicking and screaming, into an utterly satisfying conclusion. The prospect of Kingdom Hearts III being the end of the road is a sad one. Sora's tale may be over, but there are so many other Disney worlds left to explore. The world needs a Moana level with Mau'i helping to take on a huge Tamatoa boss. Wreck it Ralph deserved its own levels, as did The Incredibles, and so many more. Here's hoping, one day, Kingdom Hearts will return.
Kingdom Hearts III is a great action game that takes us to new worlds with proven gameplay. It extends the story and complements it with new factions

Kingdom Hearts 3 is a technical marvel and was well worth the wait fans of the franchise have been complaining about. Thirteen years is indeed a long time, but things are starting to feel like we’re back on track and maybe, just maybe, it won’t be that long again until we see another mainline entry in the franchise.
After a deep experience with it, I can tell you that we’re looking at a masterpiece. Kingdom Hearts doesn’t show any lack (but the camera control), being excellent in everything! It has just a limit: who plays it needs to know the story of ALL the previous chapters. That’s the only way to experience and enjoy the beauty of this saga, that grew up together with many generations of players. As you can see from the review and the vote, Kingdom Hearts 3 is a game that must be played. A videogame that moves you from the start to the end.

Kingdom Hearts III is a difficult game to review. It does a lot of things right, from its excellent gameplay to its breadth of content. It also stumbles here and there, with some strange narrative choices and lack of Final Fantasy. It’s a great game overall, but it’s easy to see that it could have been something greater.
Kingdom Hearts 3 has been a long time coming, leading some fans to wonder if it would ever finally get there. The long wait proved to be well worth it though, with a satisfying ending they've been wanting for years, while also managing to setup the future of the franchise as well.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is a very satisfying ending to a chapter in the series that has been building for 17 years. Even though the story seemed convoluted at times this game did a great job of bringing everything together and resolving most of the questions we had up until this point. While there are still some questions that will need uncovering, and a Secret Ending that raises a whole lot more the main epilogue featured in the game is a fitting and satisfying ending to a series I’ve loved since it’s inception.
After years and years of waiting, Kingdom Hearts 3 deliver in it's promises... sort of. For the fans, the game will definitely leave them satisfied and wanting more, if you're new here I guess it's time to prepare for a game that leaves you more questions than answers.
