Kingdom Hearts III

Hands-on With The Long-awaited RPG

- 

It’s all too easy to become distracted by the addition of Pixar worlds and characters to Kingdom Hearts III, but there’s a whole lot more to this long-awaited sequel than mere fan service alone. seriously.

Sure, you’ll be able to cause havoc in the world of Toy Story with Buzz and Woody by your side, but what’s more interesting is that there’s more to the combat than ever before. Kingdom Hearts II featured fairly simple button-mash-friendly action-RPG systems that only became a challenge once you raised the difficulty up to brutally punishing levels. Kingdom Hearts III, on the other hand, aims to tone down the mashing and keep players engaged at all times (and across all difficulty levels) thanks to rapidly changing combat.
