The title animations for each kingdom are spellbinding: however much the person or people responsible for these is getting paid, it isn't enough.Īnd, on more than one occasion, those things were subsequently explained - because Kingdom Hearts 3 can't decide how it should bring players up to speed. On more than one occasion I paused a cutscene to look up a wiki because someone had referred to a name or a plot development I couldn't recall. I've played and finished both previous numbered entries, as well as PSP spin-off Birth By Sleep and Dream Drop Distance on 3DS, and still I was left flummoxed at times.

After all, it has two mainline entries and roughly half a dozen spin-offs' worth of narrative threads to pull together and tie up. To a point, its aggressive investment in its story is understandable. But then Kingdom Hearts 3 is, in the modern vernacular, a lot: from the dazzling pyrotechnics that accompany many of its special moves to its extravagant, indulgent final act, restraint is not in its vocabulary. If that sounds like a lot for a game of around 30-40 hours, that's because it is.
