One thing is for sure, Disney had some high demands when it came to the quality of their IPs and Kingdom Hearts 3 is the best looking and most expansive title in the series. These Disney worlds are gorgeous and every cinematic is perfectly-designed with the utmost care to portray the universe in the best light. Sora enters a Disney world, completes its story while levelling up and fighting enemies. Much of the game’s overall plot is pretty straightforward for most of the game. After the end of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Sora loses most of his abilities and heads to Mount Olympus to meet Hercules and find a way to regain his strength. With very little side narrative, Sora, Donald and Goofy head off to explore a load of Disney worlds to recover Sora’s lost powers. Unfortunately, the build-up to it all in Kingdom Hearts 3 is weak and the amount of control Disney has had on the game clearly shows how dumbed-down it has become. Everything we have seen and experienced up to now reaches a final climatic close and the conclusion to the game is simply perfect. Master Xehanort has been planning his takeover for over a decade and to see it finally come into motion is one of the best parts of the game.
KINGDOM HEARTS CHARACTERS ARE BLAND SERIES
To explain the Kingdom Hearts story would take us all day so in short, Kingdom Hearts 3 sees the end of the Dark Seeker Saga, a story built over a series of games and worlds that follows the journey of Sora and a couple of Keyblade masters and wielders as they try and stop an evil villain from recreating the famous x-blade and in turn, controlling Kingdom Hearts. It just lacks the magic and challenge found in past games and only the last few hours of the game truly bring that magical Kingdom Hearts experience to life but it is short lived.

For everything it does great, it feels pretty lacklustre in other departments and its large emphasis on Disney is its biggest downfall. In short, Kingdom Hearts has been in a better position as Kingdom Hearts 3 could be the weakest entry in the series to date. I have played every game a couple of times and I am pretty much brushed up on its layered story and plot. I have spent about half my life following the Kingdom Hearts series. For those that have never played a Kingdom Hearts game before, it is a fantasy RPG set across a handful of Disney worlds filled with magic, charm and an extremely elaborate plot. It marks the end of the Dark Seeker Saga following the story of Sora as he finally confronts the dark Master Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts 3 is the epic conclusion to a video game series in the making for over seventeen years.
