Kingdom Hearts III Reviews
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.

Sadly, the third time is not the charm. Time has passed, and we’ve all grown up. It’s difficult to say the same for Sora and his companions, with Kingdom Hearts III featuring a mixed bag of old and new elements across the areas of combat, storytelling, and design.
It could have done with a little more love for us life-long fans of the series.
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.
Ultimately, Kingdom Hearts III suffers from too many elements that backfire against its own earnest and most sincere intentions. As I slogged towards its climactic finale, I couldn't help but question if the series' magic was ever really there.
Kingdom Hearts 3 can be repetitive and slow in its gameplay, but it makes up for this shortcoming with astounding visuals, tons of ways to play, and a heartfelt story.
It’s a little hard for me to answer the question ‘does it live up the hype?’ as I wasn’t really hyped up for the game until just before Christmas, so I haven’t had 14 years of waiting to compare it to. That said, it’s a very polished game that is incredibly fun to play, and a game that has no loot crates or microtransactions (at the time of writing this review). A very big plus in my book (as I’m sure anyone that’s read my previous reviews of certain games will know). There is almost nothing bad that I can say about Kingdom Hearts 3. In today’s gaming world, I think that is rare and a testament to the effort put into it by the Square Enix guys. Anyone looking for a family-friendly adventure game to enjoy really needs to check this one out (and play the previous releases as well).
This is a game that wants to delight you. It is unapologetically hopeful, like nothing I’ve ever played, offering a seemingly endless font of positivity that is difficult to ignore. Alas, it is still very much a Kingdom Hearts game, and the staunchly unwavering architecture of it is felt in every U.I element and cutscene.
The lineup of locations are the strongest in the series and I adored the depiction of the Disney worlds as vast playgrounds where you can explore, battle and take selfies to your heart's content. Kingdom Hearts III exhibits quality from every expensive edge, with a presentation that matches Disney’s animated output and a phenomenal score by Square-Enix’s composers.
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.

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

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.

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 finally here, and the story of 7 guardians of light and 13 forces of darkness is now over. A story full of exciting, happy and sad moments that tries to show us that friendship is a force so strong that can defeat just anything.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is probably the best game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Each of the Disney worlds in this game is very well implemented both graphically and gameplay-wise. There are a lot of gameplay mechanics that makes the game interesting and exciting until the very end and this comes with gorgeous and beautiful graphics. There are few problems in the game that are not very important. One of these problems is that maybe the newcomers to the series will have problems understanding the story in the first few hours. The other one is the game is maybe not very challenging for Hardcore gamers. Anyway, If you have good memories with Disney Animation and Films or you’re a fan of the Kingdom Heart Franchise, then you absolutely should buy Kingdom Hearts 3.

Kingdom Hearts III may not be the tour de force that fans have been craving for so many years, but it's brimming with beauty, variety, and setpieces that effectively utilize a fantastic combat system.
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.
