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.

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.

Any series with a dozen games in its mainline story and over 15 years of time investment will naturally have an endless pile of expectations directed at it when it comes to wrapping things up.

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 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.

Generally speaking, the Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind PC port is very solid. With several adjustment options, it is easy to adapt the action RPG for a good experience. In addition, the game itself brings a fluid and interesting combat that demonstrates very well the series' evolution over the time.

Kingdom Hearts III a beautiful game with a heart like few other games. It does have a harder entry point than most games, but catching up is worth it. Even newcomers can jump in. Just don’t expect the game to hold your hand narratively. Kingdom Hearts III is not a perfect conclusion to the saga, but it’s pretty damn close.

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.

Kingdom Hearts III is the game that fans have been craving for all these years but at the same time is a daunting endeavor for rookies to dive head first into. While veterans of the series are used to Kingdom Hearts’ confusing plots lines and odd idiosyncrasies, the great moment-to-moment gameplay and awkward storytelling has a large potential to create a lopsided experience for first-timers. At its core, it’s a truly enjoyable game with adventures to be had, but is unfortunately bogged down at times by its own story.

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.
