Kingdom Hearts III is an experience that's been worth waiting for, with this entry serving as one of the series' finest moments. Although the tangled storyline and horde of characters may be unapproachable to newcomers, the colourful, mind-boggling variation of the weapons and attacks in your arsenal is a truly dazzling spectacle, and undeniably fun for the duration of this 30-40 hour long epic. For long-time fans, this is a grand send off that completes the current story, with a particularly memorable finale that gives those fans exactly what they've been waiting for. With a killer soundtrack and an amazing array of enemies and worlds to boot, this could be 2019's first must-play hit.

I had my doubts about this game, as I already mentioned. I never once thought there was a way Square Enix could live up to the hype the company has built up for this game. But bravo, it has done it and then some. The developer has refined and perfected the combat. It kept its silliness in tact. It kept in the darker themes and deep moments of self-reflection that we all need every once in awhile. It's, quite frankly, the best Kingdom Hearts game Square Enix has ever created.

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

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 3 is epic, bold and ambitious. It's a brilliant conclusion to the saga. Kingdom Hearts 3 isn't only the best game in the series but the best Square Enix game since Final Fantasy XII.

With higher stakes, Kingdom Hearts III is a lot of spectacle in the best way possible. It isn't afraid to go big, but it also doesn't forget what made fans fall in love in the first place

This is it, the epic, emotional and satisfying conclusion to one of gaming most beloved series. Kingdom Hearts III is everything we could had hoped for (and even more), but it's biggest achievement is that, even by today's standards, it's a one of a kind experience that can only be described using one word: magic.

Kingdom Hearts 3 succeeds in the difficult task of being up to the expectations, without shaking up its foundations but improving on the strenghts of the previous chapters. Spectacular in the artistic direction, exhilarating in the fights and fulfilling on the narrative side, to be fully appreciated Kingdom Hearts 3 requires however that its public is aware of the intricate background of the saga. After waiting for so many years, recommending the last adventure of Sora, Donald and Goofy would only be a negligible formality.

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.

Square Enix has a habit of developing highly anticipated titles for decades, with Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III taking 10+ years to complete. Like Noctis' adventure, Sora's venture was worth the wait. Providing an epic journey through diverse worlds with amazing boss battles, Kingdom Hearts III rarely stumbles in its 40-hour journey. The long cutscenes and the lock-on system can become frustrating but these are minor issues for this masterpiece. Kingdom Hearts III may have taken over 14 years to release but it was well worth the wait.

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.

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 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.
