There’s also tons of hidden stuff to find, “Classic Kingdom” retro games to play, food to cook, and myriad Easter eggs. Even so, I was inspired to play more as it’s all innocuous enough to not feel like a chore. A lot of folks lament the Gummi Ship sections (which are still shmup romps), but you only need to spend a grand total of roughly 30 minutes playing them in this massive 30-hour-plus campaign. The tradition of extensive minigames continues, but in a way that allows you to put most of the busywork in your rear view if you wish it so. The complete formulaic gameplay overhaul trumps this retread of the third film At World’s End in a way Tangled and Frozen couldn’t by injecting gaidens into the mix. As one of the biggest Kingdom Hearts worlds to date, there’s a lot to do, but it’s coupled with a hint of restraint to avoid becoming the next checkbox Ubisoft game.

Who even knows what the continuity of that series is anymore with Johnny Depp out, but this little universe made Pirates fun again. Hearing Bruckheimer Pirates-themed music again is a thrill, given that the last three films sucked. Monster’s Inc., with its complete and utter focus on emotions and the ethics of fear and joy, makes sense for this magical morality tale (and serves as a semi-sequel to the original film). Toy Story‘s Rex being a superfan of Sora because he thinks he came from an anime video game is incredible. I won’t get into the minutiae of every realm but suffice to say, all of the others made a big impact. It sounds damning but those two worlds (which have their moments) are really the only lows.

Also, not yelling at my TV when the game asks me to find pieces of Olaf a billion times would be nice (and I actually don’t mind Olaf). Elsa’s powers were ripe for showing off here, she just doesn’t have a great platform to do it. Frozen is mostly a wasteland (which is to be expected to some degree), but I wish the team really ran with it further. Hercules (the first world) is a hell of an intro, but not all universes are created equal. It’s on-brand, an observation that extends to the series as a joint body: silly or serious, Kingdom Hearts is as true to its heart as the closing song to Mulan. The series absolutely nails aerial combat (with combos typically known as aerial raves) and that legacy is secured by Kingdom Hearts III. Nomura and his team have a way with their signature polarizing floaty combat system, which fits Kingdom Hearts to a tee, whether you’re flying up in the sky with Buzz Lightyear or clashing Keyblades with a Goku-haired villain. I said in our review in progress that the combat system isn’t super deep and that’s still the case. It’s the dialogue that betrays the simplicity of it all, with plenty of heart similes and metaphors pouring out from an endless chocolate-flavored font. Sora and Kairi need to train further and Riku is going on special missions with King Mickey: again, easy. Sora, Kairi, and Riku all have their own quests to settle and it’s all very easy to follow. There’s absurdity sprinkled abound but for the most part, things are grounded, especially in the first half. See, not so bad, right? I skipped over the creation of around 20 clones give or take, but that’s it. In Kingdom Hearts III you’ve finally assembled a dream team and garnered enough power to take him on. To accomplish this he creates multiple forms of himself using his powerful magic (stay with me). Xehanort, the primary antagonist of the series, wants to recreate the universe (read: exterminate multiple worlds) in a fire and brimstone fashion using Kingdom Hearts as a sort of cataclysmic Pandora’s Box.
#Kingdom hearts iii series update
Update 6:15 AM ET: Pre-order and full pricing added.I’ve summarized the series before in a digestible paragraph, but I’ll start over again just in case. The trilogy price climbs to $90 afterwards, so if you're interested, try to pick it up ahead of the February 10th release date. If that's too much, you can pre-order individual titles for prices varying from $33 to $40.
The collection is now available for pre-order at $72. There will also be a Kingdom Hearts 20th anniversary event in Tokyo, with a mini concert, Q&A with the development team, an exhibition and more. After all, it can run Witcher 3 and the Assassin's Creed collection that's set to arrive on February 18th.īy purchasing the all-in-one collection or individual Kingdom Hearts III version, you'll receive the Advent Red Keyblade for use in the Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC), Square Enix said. While a cloud release seems valid for the latest Kingdom Hearts III chapter first released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, one has to wonder why the first two games couldn't have been remade to run directly on the Switch.
Because the Switch trilogy is a cloud version, you'll need a reasonably fast internet connection to have a decent experience.
