CONCEPT
Visit Disney worlds with Sora and company to put a stop to antagonist Xehanort’s evil deeds
GRAPHICS
With detailed environments and character models, the series looks better than ever. The Disney worlds are especially impressive, matching the movies they represent wonderfully
SOUND
Main composer Yoko Shimomura's ability to capture Kingdom Hearts' emotional essence shines here yet again. The classic Disney music helps bring each world to life, and watching Sora explore Frozen while "Let It Go" plays makes me grin
PLAYABILITY
The action-based combat is easy to learn, but has enough depth to keep you engaged. Multiple difficulty levels let players of all skill levels get into the action, but the previous story threads aren’t as easy to follow
ENTERTAINMENT
With higher stakes, Kingdom Hearts III is a lot of spectacle in the best way possible. It isn’t afraid to go big, but it also doesn’t forget what made fans fall in love in the first place
REPLAY
Moderate
