"With its blend of old and new, Kingdom Hearts III feels almost immediately like a classic," reads a snippet from the review. "While this particular franchise entry has been a long time coming, its updated mechanics and rendering means Kingdom Hearts has never looked better. In truth, this sentimental sequel manages to realize a truth set forth in the very first game: starting a new journey may not be so hard once you realize every path you've taken converges underneath the same sky, and all of those roads easily meet at and within Kingdom Heart III."
