Kingdom Hearts 3: 8 Ups & 4 Downs
8. Up: Generally Great Story
Despite a few drops here and there, the story of Kingdom Hearts 3 is generally very satisfying, especially for longtime fans of the series.
As the conclusion of the Xehanort Saga and nearly ten games, Kingdom Hearts 3 had a lot of balls to juggle at once. Luckily, it does manage to resolve almost everything in a nice manner.
The best part of the story in Kingdom Hearts 3 comes from the character interactions, specifically between Sora, Donald and Goofy. Unlike other games, the trio really does feel like best friends, and it's one of the things that future Kingdom Hearts games are going to have an incredibly hard time trying to top.
There are a few moments in the story that are either missed out or just brushed over, but these tend to be some of the smaller things.
The only real story problem comes from a cliffhanger ending, but we'll get to that one later.
