Kingdom Hearts 3 was an unforgettable experience and as a long-time fan, it was everything I could've hoped for. Terrible story pacing aside, this is a special game and a fitting end to an over decade-old saga.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is finally here, but it ever-so-slightly misses the mark. However, after all's said and done, after worlds have been explored, friends have been made, and keyblades have been wielded – I'm so, so glad it's here.

While it doesn't quite live up to the ridiculous levels of hype set out for it, “Kingdom Hearts 3” delivers satisfying resolutions to a long story. Most importantly, it's an incredibly fun game with a wide variety of activities to take part in and beautiful Disney worlds to explore.

This mashup of animated film stars and Japanese action heroes has new characters to enrol, but beyond exciting theme-park action the connection between worlds feels superficial

As much a love letter to the fans as it is a brilliant blend of the best from previous games in the series.

And even though its combat-heavy gameplay isn’t quite enough in isolation, set against the rich backdrop that each of Kingdom Hearts 3‘s worlds provides, it will still somehow manage to draw me back in for a long time.

Despite its flaws, Kingdom Hearts 3 provides a more than fitting ending to Sora's chapter and its presentation will leave a lasting impression on long-time fans. With careful lessons learned from its past, Kingdom Hearts' future has never been so bright.

Kingdom Hearts III offers a visual spectacle, an epic journey and a worthy conclusion to patient fans. Old-fashioned elements of the franchise that already feel dated, such as camera problems and an unbalanced pace in story, are still present. However, there is much to enjoy here, with great gameplay, some of the best Disney worlds to date and a lot of epic moments. Kingdom Hearts III may not be a perfect game, but it's a worthwhile journey for those who waited so long.

The fact that Kingdom Hearts III even managed to release could be considered a miracle in of itself, but what's perhaps even more surprising is that the finished product defies all expectations. As an unforgettable experience, Kingdom Hearts III is exceptional, essential, and most of all, undeniably special.

Kingdom Hearts 3 at its core is just good fun. It has a messy story to tie up but does a good job of it for the most part. Their are some pacing issues, but thankfully the combat is good enough to pull you through those moments. It's also one of the best looking things I've ever played and it's worth looking at if nothing else.

It's been a very long wait for Square Enix "Kingdom Hearts 3", but the game is now finally here! And I'll have you know that KH III is a wonderful but complicated action/RPG gem, and this is the reason why.

Kingdom Hearts III is a visual spectacle that presents playable versions of the various Disney worlds in a way that has never been attempted by a video game. It has a convoluted story that might confuse newcomers but once you dig deeper into it, there is a surprising amount of depth underneath it backed by a refreshing combat system.
