Customer Ratings & Reviews

I enjoyed these games when I was younger. I love that the kids enjoy them now.

There are three types of people when it comes to Kingdom Hearts, and I will recommend it based on the following. You are either: A) A fan from the beginning who is desperate to see this dramatic conclusion and can recall every event and character without referring to an encyclopedia B) A person who played the first game and enjoyed it for being the simple and clean Final Fantasy/Disney mash-up that it was, but detests the pretentious, convoluted mess that became after COM and KHII C) A fan who likes the gameplay, loves the atmosphere, and also loves mercilessly mocking Tetsuya Nomura's attempts at writing. So, with that out of the way, here's a short review for each type of fan: A) This is the game for you. So many arcs that have been built up over the years are finally being resolved. There's so much fanservice, so many returning characters, so many Xehanorts, plus there are even new mysteries built up. B) This is NOT the game for you. This is exactly the same as the rest of this series. I mean, it's a freaking Disney property, why did it have to be injected with all of this jarring emo weeb stuff? It's just more and more hearts, darkness, pretentious ramblings, nonsensical plot twists, etc. Don't waste your time. C) Oh man is this the game for you. This thing is a blast to play, probably the best in the entire series. Sure, attractions do get a little old after seeing them for the millionth time, but it's so much fun. It's also probably the most balanced the series has ever been. Speaking of fun, you'll be laughing at this game's bizarre logic constantly. There's cheesy anime delivery, nonsensical plot points, and infantile attempts at symbolism galore. I probably fit into group C myself, and I've been enjoying the game a fair deal. I haven't played every game in the series, limited to mainly KHI and II in the past and catching up with the PS4 collections, but I've always had a soft spot for this wonderful, stupid series. I would personally recommend it even as an entry point to KH, as you're going to be lost anyways, so might as well start with the most fun, modern version possible. It's certainly not a perfect game, as the camera is a bit unwieldy, some boss fights are a bit obtuse due to broken mechanics, and movement is just a tiny bit too fast, but overall it's a very solid game made by a team that obviously cared very much about what they were they were making. Perhaps a bit too much.

Love this game very enjoyable and the graphics it great.

One of the best games I have play I really recommend it

...and a bunch of other stuff like friendship, love, hitting bad guys with a sword-sized key happened. Stop with this nonsense that "if you didn't play the earlier games you cant play this one" junk folks are saying. This game has a section from the main menu where you can watch a summary set of videos explaining the entire story so far. Done. Ignore anybody trying to tell you this game is hard to jump in to if you didn't play previous games. Obviously this is the best looking and best playing Kingdom Hearts. Its a fun story just for the environments and characters even if you do have no clue whats going on. That's why map objectives exist. More people than you think watch movies and video games and have no idea what they are doing the entire time. It's ok. Everybody enjoys stuff differently. If you played the old ones, buy this. If you are new and like Disney stuffs, buy this. If you like video games and are not hard locked to ultra violent bloody content, buy this.

Yeah i really like this one. Really huge fan of the series

Love the updated Combat and the New Worlds. The Attraction Sequences are an awesome inclusion. It is about time!

I'll be completely honest. I'm new to the series and don't know the story. I purchased this for the Disney Worlds and combat. I am not disappointed and it's well worth it for that reason. The combat is fun, the Disney worlds are fantastic and enjoyable 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. The RPG elements were also surprising to me. Equipping keyblades, equipment, magic, potions etc. on your journey was a big plus. I've read the main story is complicated and convoluted, but not knowing the story didn't hurt my experience. I really didn't know what I was buying and it's a must purchase if you're a Disney fan.

As a KH fan, this is one of the greats. It ties most of the loose ends left behind over the past 17 years of build-up. As a series with so many parts I find its conclusion on par with The Deathly Hallows and Infinity War when needing to go so much right. The game runs well and the Disney worlds are fully realized and larger and more complex than any other entry in the series. Combat is hack and slash RPG action which plays well but at this point needs some new vision as the series continues in the future. HOWEVER... If you are new to this series you'll have fun but really will miss out on what makes this storytelling so great. Its long-winded, complex, confusing and sometimes downright misleading which can be a frustration to many. If you want to get on the train now do yourself a favor and watch some youtube recaps which cover years of this series story the most efficiently. I would recommend playing at least KH1, KH2, Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance to get the bigger beats out of the story if you had to pick some to play.

Pretty sweet production values, but the plot is basically inscrutable unless you've played all the games + spinoffs. Fun, charming Disney worlds but janky combat-- people who are familiar with KH and already like the combat, that's great. But compared to other games, I think it lacks the precision that would make it more satisfying to plow through hundreds of Heartless. Anyway, it's still "good" but it could've been amazing!

Finally after almost a decade KH3 is out. The game is heavy cut scenes and heavy battles of CONSTANT button mashing. This was the biggest turn off in the game. Also the story (as with other KH games) is INCREDIBLY stupid. I guess personally just glad we finally got this game but unless you are a fan of the series this ISNT the way to be introduced into the franchise as you will be lost with all the characters.

Great game love a lot of the mechanics just wish there was some final fantasy content

Kingdom Hearts 3 is a great game. The story might be confusing, but it is also one of the series' greatest strengths. Just because it's confusing, doesn't mean people can't follow it and while people often complaint about how the story is so convoluted, it's not really convoluted, it's just a lot to remember. With some effort the story is actually pretty straightforward. In KH3, most plot points from previous games are resolved in satisfactory way. The game also remember to give fans the room to theorize since KH3 is not only the end but also the beginning of the future KH story. Graphic and music wise, KH3 is just spectacular. You can see that developers put a lot of effort in replicating the disney film's uniqueness into the game and it also shows that they put so many details into the world's design. The music is awesome as always. It is effective in evoking your emotions in many cutscenes. The battle ost has never been this epic. Overall, KH3 is a great game for fans and for people who are open to changes, because the game made some changes that might disappoint some fans while make other fans happy

It is a great game with amazing graphics and story line

Don't get me wrong, Kingdom Hearts III is loads of fun and I'm glad I bought it. But for a game that released nearly a decade and a half after its immediate numerical predecessor, I couldn't help but feel it lacked a number of things that made the series special. For one, there are no Final Fantasy characters (save for moogles and the occasional statue). I also missed the forms from Kingdom Hearts II that allowed you to dual wield and cruise around the battlefield. Instead, your keyblade changes forms based on the one you're wielding and many of the new elements (attractions in particular) are all about taking control away from Sora. They look nice, but sometimes all I want to do is whack people with a big key and this detracts from that. But the biggest problem of all is that you are expected to have played all of the spinoff games in order to have some semblance of an understanding about what's going on in the plot. What started as a fun adventure about traveling to various Disney worlds to find your friends has evolved into a convoluted mess about darkness and hearts and Nobodies and time travel and while I understand a person can pick up the complete package on PS4 and get caught up, it's asking a lot to expect the average consumer to invest in a dozen other games before being allowed to understand the plot of a game titled Kingdom Hearts THREE.

Always have loved the KH games and been awaiting 3 for years! I enjoyed my time with it and seeing the new worlds and characters. The gameplay felt familiar but perhaps dated at times. Gorgeous graphics and animation! Overall I feel content with the ending and all the game has to offer.

The kingdom hearts series is a creation between Disney and Square Enix and the game is all about traveling the different Disney world as the protag Sora with donald and Goofy side by side fighting heartless, nobodys, and unverse. If your a long time fan then you will enjoy the game because it makes great use of the more powerful hardware with High definition graphics, Larger spaces in these worlds and if you're on a PS4 pro or XB one X then smooth frame rates. if you are new to the series and this is your first KH game the prepare to be lost because the story spans over 10 games and this just continues off of the last game KH dream drop distance, but you can get "KH the story so far" to get the whole series. As a fan im a bit disappointed in the game because this game had alot of building from the past games but story wise this game is lacking and feels more of a Disney advertisement with the way they handle some of the works and felt like it was more Disney then Square since its missing its final fantasy characters. As a regular gamer, its a fun game that can have many hours of fun to it but not for beginners if you wanna have some understanding of the story.

I was a little sad at first, knowing most of the worlds in KH3 were going to be focused on Pixar films. I'm a sucker for the older movies and I knew the change would be pretty drastic. After playing the game. I am -so glad- they partnered with Pixar. Not only were the graphics top notch, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Pixar themed worlds more than I could have ever imagined. KH3 delivered the emotions I felt playing KH1 and KH2, I am not at all disappointed, in fact, I'm left craving more content. I can't wait for future content involving the Kingdom Hearts series. 10/10 from someone who has been a fan from the beginning.

I've been a fan of this franchise and I've been highly anticipating this game's release. I sent in my pre-order and got in the day of release. This is a fantastic game. It puts an end to the Xehanort saga and delivers. The graphics are phenomenal. The gameplay is nostalgic while also incorporating new features. I wish it delivered on the story a little bit more in the individual Disney worlds but lets be honest, if you're a fan than you just wanted closure to the main story. I really hope this game has DLC's in the future as it definitely opens itself to that opportunity. You won't regret getting this game.

I'm not a die hard kingdom hearts fan but I enjoyed the other games very much. The Disney crossover stuff is fantastic and makes it all worthwhile to me. I have not completed this game but from what I've played I'm enjoying very much and find the wait was worth it.
