I was able to pick up the item quickly through curbside pickup service, and the order was in good condition. I'm happy I was able to get this game for: $9.99 instead of having to pay $39.99 like everywhere else that sells the game currently; furthermore, ordering this item on BBY.com helped me with completing my Kingdom Hearts game collection on PS4. Even though,... I had to pick it up; however, I was able to get the item a lot sooner than just waiting for it to be mailed to my address. Especially, since an order I made on BBY.com prior to the this game's order actually came in the mail between 2 to 3 weeks and was completely damaged which made that previous ordered item the 1st purchased item to receive from Best Buy in bad quality which made me feel really reluctant to order anything from BBY.com again during this time of pandemic and possibly consider looking elsewhere earlier last month. I am pleased with the curbside orders that I have picked up in great looking condition lately without having to go through a return process that would've only created a further headache for trying to things I need and want as well while under social isolation. Thank you.

I sat down all night playing kingdom Hearts 3. I have to say it’s pretty good and worth the long wait. The story is really nice and the length of the game is about 30 hours or more.

I made this purchase last week while it was on sale, I assigned my mother as the pick up person because I recently injured myself... anyway.... I had wanted this game when it released but I didn't want to spend 60 on it so I've patiently been waiting for a sale for, forever it seems and the wait is finally over!
The game is totally beautiful, has the same nostalgia feel. I even recommended it to my boyfriend after I had started playing it, told him he should buy it for his Xbox one and play it with his 6 year old.
Definitely a good buy.
Thanks Best Buy.

Right out of the gates the graphics are amazing. The Disney worlds are spot on in story and character development. Maybe one of the few drawbacks is that the stories in most of the worlds are copy/pasted from the movies and not original stories to Kingdom Hearts. The game does suffer from some pacing issues due to the number of cutscenes, but the combat is tried and true. If anything, the game may be too easy, even on the hardest difficulty are there hardly any concerns about dying. While my rating is 5 stars, I would set it at 9/10. The game certainly doesn't deserve 4 stars, but also not perfection.

The end of an epic saga

From it's humble beginning way back in 2002 on the PlayStation 2, the long-awaited numbered-sequel does no disappoint, if you're a fan.
Kingdom Hearts 3 marks the end of the "Dark Seeker Saga", not the end of the series itself, and this game makes it clear with numerous hints towards more adventures for Sora, his friends, and the Disney brand. As such, newcomers will undoubtedly find themselves overwhelmed by the plot, even with the handy inclusion of an in-game archive that abridges much of the story for quick digest and refreshment on the story.
Combat is a refined blend of many elements seen in both the original PS2 games, and the many sequels/prequels released after them. Keyblades now can be upgraded, and all offer their own skills for offense, defense, and magical destruction as you battle the hordes of Heartless, Nobodies, and Unversed.
The music is by some of the best seen in the series thus far, with catchy tunes that capture those seen in the films recreated, and some that directly recreate memorable melodies like Toy Story's "You've got a friend in me", the game is both an audio and visual joy from start to finish.

Fun game and a definite buy at like 10 bucks or so. You do not need to be a kingdom hearts fan to understand the game and enjoy what it has. Perhaps it’s better to not be a fan and just enjoy it for what it is and not what a hardcore fan expected it to be.

I waited forever for this game and it did not let me down. The graphics are beautiful. The combat is fun. The Disney worlds are fantastic and enjoyable. The cut scenes make it seem like you're watching a Disney movie as you tag alongside Goofy and Donald. It's great seeing all of these characters interact with each other. Fun times and Disney characters. The free DLC will be nice when it is released.

I've bee waiting about 13 years for this game and let me tell you, it was worth it! They added enough variety to this installment that it makes it nostalgic but new! If you were on the fence about this one you should really just try it!

Having played Kingdom Hearts I and II on the PlayStation 2 I can safely say that I have been waiting a looooooooong time for this. Now that is out I can say that this is great gam.e but not quite the masterpiece that I thought it was going to be
The engine that it runs on seems a little dated (more like PS3 era) and there are some design choices, like the save system that seem really antiquated, especially when compared to games like God of War or Spider Man.
Again, if you like KH there is a lot to like here, just not the mind blowing experience that some of the fans were hoping for.
This game plays very similar to the older games with a few tweaks here and there.
Cheers,

The game is great if you are a fan of the story, especially the end game. Gameplay is really fun. It is just a bit too easy and the main story does not pick up until later in the game.

KH3 is a vibrant game with exciting worlds to explore. Combat is user friendly for beginners, only downside is complex plot and lengthy cut scenes.

Very cinematic combat, but was very easy compared to the previous games. Hopefully we get some DLC for this including older keyblades and such.

After I beat this today, I had to ask myself if this was worth the full price of $60. If I am being brutally honest, no. This is a $30 or less game in my opinion.
I bought this at release because I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan and I love the music. I knew going in it probably wasn't going to have that much new story content, but I was kind of disappointed we only got like 30 minutes or so of new story cutscenes. If all you are interested in is the story, I would save money and look up the cutscenes.
With the gameplay, there really isn't anything special. If you like rhythm games you'd probably enjoy this game a fair bit. I wish I could say more about it, but all you do is go to a world, play a couple of songs and go to the next. You basically go game by game and Kairi gives a recap of what has happened in the story so far.
As a Kingdom Hearts fan, I enjoyed the game for what it is. However, I can see how people can see it as a waste of time and not worth buying. My personal suggestion is to only buy this game if you really like rhythm games or absolutely love Kingdom Hearts and its music. Otherwise, you're better off waiting for this to go on sale.
As a side note, I played this on my PS5. Great performance overall. No crashes or anything.

Okay I'm a long time Kingdom hearts fan so as soon as I got a PlayStation 4 I got this game. This was something that I waited a long time for and it is needed and it's storyline. I can't say everything for certain cuz I haven't played the DLC yet but this just shows what they can do with the engine they have. As I said for a long time Kingdom hearts fan this here was a very very long time coming.
