Kingdom Hearts has always been a series known for its complex story and full of twists. Almost every narrative element that exists has already been used in the franchise. Time travel? Yup. Alternative realities? Certainly. For these and other reasons, understanding the plot that unites all games is a task worthy of a professional.

Ready to fight Hercules once again?

Em Kingdom Hearts 3 the case is no different. The game starts right where the last title in the series ended, Dream Drop Distance, released in 2012 for Nintendo 3DS. We find Sora again trying to recover his memories and powers with the help of Donald and Goofy while Mickey and Rikku are in the dark world looking for Aqua.

It may seem like a very smooth start to the game in of story even for someone who has never played any of the other titles in the series, but from there things start to get complicated.

Believe me, Olaf is as lost in history as we are.

In fact, the writers seem to be fully aware of how complicated the plot is, as the game is filled with flashbacks to previous titles.

It is obvious that Kingdom Hearts 3 tries to be both friendly to new players and satisfying to die-hard fans. The game's plot tries to balance the explanation of certain elements with the addition of new ones to this crazy recipe.

Who never wanted to face monsters alongside Woody?

A combination that fortunately works very well and is able to make even those who turned up their noses a little for the series to fall in love after seeing the credits roll across the screen.

The visual and graphic quality of Kingdom Hearts 3 exceeds the expectations of any fan of the series. Character movements are fluid and each world is rich in detail and vivid colors.

Fighting the heroes of Big-Hero 6 is one of the best parts of the adventure!

In addition, the cutscenes (small scenes that are part of the story) in the game are more beautiful than ever. The quality is so excellent that in the sequence we see Elsa singing the classic song from Frozen. “Let it go”, it's hard to tell if we're playing a game or watching a movie.

Disney, magic and action! 3x1q4l

If you feel like (or a lot) lost in the history of Kingdom Hearts 3, don't worry! Even hardcore fans of the series still find it difficult to connect and understand all the points of the complex plot that surrounds all games in the franchise.

More special combos and spells than ever!

Fortunately, there is the fun and exciting combat that has always been a hallmark of the series to keep the player focused on the confrontation with every heartless or nobody they encounter. Is at Kingdom Hearts 3, fights are more charming and accessible than ever!

With Sora as the main protagonist, you have the help of your faithful companions Goofy and Donald to help you in every battle. With a simple customization system, the player can choose different types of Keyblades to use in combat. Each weapon grants Sora and his friends different spells and special moves to use.

By the power of Zeus!!!

However, even with so many characters in the universe Disney to help you like Rapunzel from Tangled or even Woody and Buzz from Toy Story, Kingdom Hearts 3 still has a good dose of challenges for the player.

You need to be aware of the power level of your Keyblade and never forget to keep your stock of regenerative potions always in good quantity.

Also, get ready not only to explore different worlds of the universe Disney, but space too! The Gummi Ship returns to the game and with it the player will venture into outer space while looking for different worlds.

Kingdom hearts 3
Even in space you will venture aboard the Gummi Ship.

The ship is fully customizable and the more different materials you collect and enemies you defeat, your ship becomes more powerful and you can equip different types of weapons. Be careful with the special bosses that exist in space, because if your ship is not well equipped, the trip will be short!

Poor Mike, always being covered in photos!

Along with the addition of new characters from Disney for you to relive your classic stories together, a new element present in the game is the Gummi Phone's camera.

With it you can take photos and selfies during the game, capturing unique moments of your adventure. After all, who never wanted to take a picture with Woody and Buzz, right?

Taking selfies is definitely one of the most fun features in the game!

It's impossible to say which world is the best in the game, because if there's one element that the series has always done with excellence, it's mixing Sora's story with the fairy tales of Disney. Each world has a different way of captivating the player, whether in Monsterpolis or even in the seas of Pirates of the Caribbean.

One is that magical element that s Disney is able to create the game's excellent soundtrack combined with the unique music of each movie covered by the game and you have a unique experience, which promises to touch each player in a different and very special way.

Special combos even include the participation of characters like Ralph.

It is undeniable that the combat mechanics in Kingdom Hearts 3 evolved compared to previous games. Now, understanding and choosing the best way to fight seems simpler than ever.

Kingdom hearts 3
All aboard!

The commands are easy to learn and, once used, the player can build his strategy and inventory for each type of fight. Despite this, being a keyblade wielder still has its problems. In several confrontations, the hit box (invisible virtual box that represents the place where an enemy can be hit) seems inaccurate. In addition, there were many times when there was a failure between the command given to Sora by the controller and the action that the hero performed.

Visually the battles can be confusing, but they are still exciting!

Kingdom Hearts has always been a franchise well known for its focus on narrative, so each game is expected to have a good dose of cutscenes. Although, Kingdom Hearts 3 exaggerates in this aspect.

There are so many cutscene sequences in the game that one could say that you watch the game more than you play it. The element that most complicates this problem is that the cutscenes appear to be at a slow speed, as if the characters are thinking twice before uttering each line.

It would help in the development of the plot if the acting of the characters was a little better.

It's true that the series' performances were never anything of great artistic quality, but with so much time on the road, it was expected that the new title would put more effort into producing cutscenes with convincing interpretations.

We know that the game is recommended from the age of 10, but it is a consensus that most players in the franchise are teenagers, almost adults.

Even Remy participates in the adventure with cooking mini-games.

This is a strange impression that Kingdom Hearts 3 cause. You go through so many universes of Disney that tell stories so captivating and deep to glimpse cutscenes that often don't live up to the quality of animated tales.

Furthermore, in certain worlds it is evident that the insertion of such stories and characters from the Disney it's only meant to please the fans and not add anything relevant to the story or connect Sora and his friends to the world they find themselves in.

High scares!

In several worlds, it is as if the player is just ing through the story in which he finds himself, unable to create a consistent bond with the characters that inhabit it. At the end of each stage of the adventure, the player inevitably asks himself a few times: “Was this world really necessary for the game?”.

Kingdom hearts 3
Each world holds a different surprise for you.

It is still uncertain what the future of the franchise will be, but when such an amount of fan service is provided by including such beloved characters in the world Disney In this wacky story, gamers certainly expect a better polish from this creative mix. We hope that in future titles Square will pay more attention to this aspect.

The power of friendship in Kingdom Hearts 3 67251t

Kingdom Hearts 3 is a milestone for this nearly 17-year-old franchise. The game brings together all the elements that made the series a success in the world of adventure RPGs: action to entertain for hours, customization and customization for all tastes and a captivating story.

Kingdom hearts 3
Friendship above all!

At the end of hours of adventure through different worlds, meeting remarkable characters from Disney and defeating enemies with all the power of heart magic, Kingdom Hearts 3 still remains true to the message that the series has always conveyed to its audience: the power of friendship is the greatest strength of this universe and we have to protect it above all else.

If you've never tried any game in the franchise (like me) or are a long-time fan, grab your Keyblade, board your Gummi ship and set off on a journey that will forever be etched in your heart.
