Often as infuriating as it is entertaining, Kingdom Hearts III bolsters the series’ trademark commitment to nonsense, both for better and for worse.

An easy 8, maybe even 9/10 for long time fans, but for most people points will be lost in the story department. It's never too late to catch up, but DO NOT start here!

It'snot a top quality game, but it doesn't have to be one to conquer the hearts of longtime fans. If you're new to the series, this is just a "good" game for you. But if you're an old fan, KH3 is "the" game you've been waiting for.

Fans of the series have nothing to fear here, and even newcomers can jump in and enjoy their time with it without having too much of a problem following the story, and even if the story is not your thing, the combat will keep action fans and RPG players entertained throughout. This is the best Kingdom Hearts game to date.

I recommend the game even to newcomers, though at least a cursory knowledge of the events of prior titles is mandatory. It’s a must-have for fans of the series, though I’m sure most of the die-hard Kingdom Hearts fanatics have already finished it by the time of this review.

Kingdom Hearts 3 provides for some fun times packaged with a confusing story. If you haven't played the previous ones, it's gonna take some time to understand the context behind this one. With unfocused gameplay yet lots of charm, Kingdom Hearts 3 leaves a lot to be desired.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is no small world after all, featuring a ton of Disney characters and areas for you to connect with. Figuring out the story can be like wrapping your arms around a giant boulder festooned with tons of zippers. The floaty combat also can be a bit slippery to get an adequate handle on at times. It's stunning visuals, wonderful sound and epic grand scale, however, make this a magic carpet ride you'll want to get on board with, whether you're young or young at heart.

For those who have enjoyed the past entries, the issues have already proven themselves to be readily surmountable and the way the game wraps up the lingering plot points will be very much appreciated.

Kingdom Hearts 3 offers a fascinating adventure with some stunning optics that offer absolute fun when playing it but the plot is slow and does not live up to the level of noise the game has created.

Despite all of important missing features, Kingdom Hearts 3 is following the former games footsteps. If you like the JRPG genre and Disney movies, the game contains all the thing you like to see. But if you are not JRPG type of gamer, stay away as much as you can.

In short, Kingdom Hearts 3 is a memorable story driven masterpiece that, despite its flaws, delivers a fun story-driven action RPG into one neat little package.

When the game is over, you're left with a strange feeling of completions and melancholy, and that should be proof enough that you've experienced something worthwhile.

Kingdom Hearts III is game with a beautiful visuals and incredible soundtrack that is designed for fans of a multi-volume series first and foremost. They finally got answers to many important questions. It will be difficult for other players to understand the plot without important explanations as story progresses.

Kingdom Hearts III is a marvel of presentation filled with heart and charm, but might not quite be the dramatic finale that fans have waited half their lives to see come to a close.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is not the grand finale as someone hoped for, but nevertheless it's the decent ending of the Xehanort saga. The game wraps up all the story lines in a really nice, even kind manner, but leaves a few bridges to the future of the series.

A great conclusion to a long running chapter brimming with imagination, variety and plain fun, but can't avoid being saddled with a convoluted and poorly-told story and occasional bouts of boredom. An uneven experience, albeit one that more than makes up for it with some of the best moments of this generation.

Kingdom Hearts 3 delivers the conclusion to the story started nearly 20 years ago in extraordinary ways. It has the best gameplay of the series, wraps up all the storylines and still finds room for some surprises.
