The gameplay and story weren’t bad per se, it just felt like a weird mixture of how Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2 were executed. There are numerous reasons as to why I’m disappointed. If you’re reading this and are thinking “it met my expectations,” then you probably decided to go in and suspend all disbelief possible. It was never going to meet them, which is fine.

Let’s be honest, this game met no one's expectations because everyone who is a fan of the series had them so high. With that being said, it is not because it didn’t meet expectations, and it didn’t. So why am I disappointed in Kingdom Hearts 3? First off I need to preface that I loved Kingdom Hearts 3. Outside of that, I own the official Kingdom Key Replica as well as numerous figures. Just in case some readers don’t believe how much I love this series, I invested over $700 for Kingdom Hearts 3 including the Limited Edition PlayStation 4 Pro, the Bring Arts Edition on PlayStation 4, and the Deluxe Edition for Xbox One. Being a fan since the original, of course, I had to wait a very long time for the final entry of the Xehanort Saga.

It took a lot in me to write this because the Kingdom Hearts franchise is my favorite series. It hurts to say, but Kingdom Hearts 3 was a disappointment. Editor's Note: This feature will dive into spoilers for the story of Kingdom Hearts 3, so come back and read through after you've finished the main game if you haven't yet.
