Kingdom Hearts 3 had been stuck in development hell for a little over 14 years. After the success of Kingdom Hearts 2, fans were clamouring to get hold of a then next-generation experience on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. This deadline was well missed, however. With Square Enix's decision to change the whole game engine, Kindom Hearts 3 needed a complete make-over. A make-over which meant delays, which further pushed expectations on this much-anticipated title.

Kingdom Hearts 3 released with favourable reviews. Thankfully, to the fans that had waited an eternity for the title, the game was hugely fun and delivered knock out graphics. The issue was it had been 14 years since the last game. There was a whole generation of young gamers who had no memory of the previous mainline game.

Couple this with the decision to plug the time between games with a multitude of spin-off stories and soon, Kingdom Hearts requires a Bachelors degree in Video Game Lore to understand.

For those die-hard fans that had patiently waited for years and years, playing the other games and keeping on top of the lore, Kingdom Hearts 3 was a success. For the rest of us that do no have that kind of time or energy, it drifted by.
