Before diving to the heart (pun intended) of my review, I think it's worth mentioning that Kingdom Hearts III is not a sequel to Kingdom Hearts II, but it's the conclusion of the entire series, including the spin-offs. Fortunately for newcomers like me, Kingdom Hearts III does re-cap parts of the story from the previous Kingdom Hearts games in different ways, making Kingdom Hearts III's story easier to follow. However, just like in the previous Kingdom Hearts games, Kingdom Hearts III's story is convoluted and the writing is weak for the most part... but I didn't hate it, even though some cutscenes are overly long and the pacing has issues. The gameplay is great though despite being very easy, and it's extremely diverse; there are so many different things to do, it's actually impressive. The characters - including the Disney characters - are pretty good too. The visuals are stunning and the music is really good. Also, the Disney worlds represented in Kingdom Hearts III are the highlight of the game by far; they're absolutely wonderful! The new outfits, Keyblades and U.I. changes are cool as well. Now, I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion, but honestly, I don't like how some Disney characters are major party members in this game because it ruins the immersion for me; I'd prefer if all of the Disney characters in this game were side-characters in different Disney worlds, but it's not a big deal at all.
