What really makes this edition of The Dark Seeker Saga worth its salt is that the battles are great - there is a plethora of new and different keyblades to use, and lots going on. If you start tiring of Monsters, Inc then suddenly arriving in Andy's bedroom of Toy Story will warm even the most stoic gamer's cockles. The whole story is about 27 hours of play time, with a wonderfully long climax.Ĭonstantly switching setting and sidekicks keeps Kingdom Hearts 3 fresh throughout, with new locations all through. But be prepared to sit through a lot of fairly stale dialogue to get there. Because there's a lot more fun to be had, most of it as you explore the excellently rendered worlds of the likes of Hercules (remember that film?), and so many more gameplay features, such as flying around and even sailing ships. There is a whole host of other characters and complex back stories intermingling, and I haven't even mentioned the likes of Xehanort, Heartless, and Nobodies and to be honest, I won't. Sounds simple, right? Well, Kingdom Hearts really isn't. The basic plot is that our brave protagonist Sore has lost all of his powers, and so must travel from world to world to regain them again.

What's really great about this title coming out in 2019 is not just the beautiful rendering of classic Disney worlds on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, it's also fascinating to watch how newer films released by the studio play out - expect to be seduced an delighted by the likes of San Fransokyo from Big Hero Six as well as the forested Kingdom of Corona from Tangled. If that weren't enough of an adventure, the game also allows for the chance to play in over 20 mini-games to take the edge off.

As well as wielding the iconic keyblade that has been around for 17 years now, it's that the likes of Goofy and Donald Duck are always what you want having your back in a battle. Yes, what has set the series apart from many others since the beginning has been this crazy crossover element. To briefly introduce it, Kingdom Hearts 3 takes a role-playing approach to its gameplay and includes characters from the Disney universe in a story-driven adventure. As a result obviously the whole back story element to this fitting conclusion to the series is a little lost on me. I'm going to be honest with you here - I have not actually played the rest of this much-loved series of video games.
