Kingdom Hearts III will not fully live up to expectations – but then again, how could it It's a game that some fans have been anticipating ever since they completed the second game back on the PS2 a staggering 14 years ago.

In 2002, something weird and wonderful happened, developer Square Enix released Kingdom Hearts , a game that so...

Combat is a spectacle; It looks stunning; It's filled with Disney charm; Unique worlds to explore

Story is still very convoluted; Frame-rate drops; Can feel a bit easy on lower difficulties

Square Enix was releasing those remastered versions of all the previous Kingdom Hearts games for more reasons than just to line its pocketbooks. Kingdom Hearts III starts immediately after Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance ends. There is no fanfare.

Refined combat across the games; Getting around the worlds has never been easier or more fun; Story finally all tied together; Gummi Ship is actually enjoyable; Combat never gets stale; Beautiful environments; cutscenes; in-game action; So many things to do

Will be very hard for new players to the series to jump in; Some pretty cheesy dialogue

I thought I would be imprisoned right away, but instead I have to struggle to persuade myself to play it. No fault of the mechanics or the game in that way, but unfortunately it does not feel fun or captivating and furthermore, the story is cruelly messy and I who have not played since KH1 are not...

I'll be honest, this game no matter how much I want to love it, is disappointing. I've waited 13 years (as have many of you) for this long delayed title. The game play isn't bad, but it feels sparse in comparison to all the cut scenes filled with recent Disney hits.

Thirteen years is a long time to wait. While that time has not gone without other games in the series, the Kingdom Hearts franchise has gone a long time without a numbered entry. For the sake of context, I had only recently jumped into the deep end that is the Kingdom Hearts franchise, only having...

I really didn't know what to expect when I started Kingdom Hearts III. I'm a huge fan and completed every game in the series, but I knew there was zero chance of it actually living up to its long wait.

Combat is fun and smooth; The world's are visually diverse

Very little gameplay variety; Too many ideas stuffed in; The story is bonkers and poorly written

Kingdom Hearts 3 is a magical game that feels like a fitting end for the series – if this is, indeed, the end. Each of its core mechanics have been improved upon tremendously, and there's so much to do in this 40-hour adventure that you'll return time and time again to experience it. For veterans, it's a heartwarming adventure that feels like a loving embrace from an old friend. For newcomers, it's a sneak peek into a riveting world where Disney sentimentality meets Square Enix ingenuity, where gamers of all stripes win. If you play one RPG so far in 2019, make it this one.

Massive amount of things to do ; Polished, satisfying combat; Improved and expanded Gummi Ship segments; A wealth of Disney characters and worlds to explore; Fitting conclusion to the main Kingdom Hearts trilogy;

Occasionally confusing navigation; Some wooden voice acting;

Games not bad. Has some cool twists in it that I wasn't expecting, however, pacing is really off. Not only that, but the games REALLY short, and it doesnt feel satisfying once completed.

I feel as though they should have just released KH, KH2, BBS, AND DDD and the story could have been cohesive, coherent and much less of a slog. Although, they do make every entry relevant to the plot, it just feels like too much at times. Honestly dont see why it took this game so long to be released with what we get in the final product.
