If there’s one factor the Kingdom Hearts sequence is understood for, it is the variety of Disney Worlds it visits. That and a pile of Keyblades that may in all probability be on show without end.
Each entry within the sequence has a number of Disney worlds that you could go to, and every of those worlds normally has issues that it’s worthwhile to assist the world’s protagonists resolve. For sure, Kingdom Hearts 3 is comparable, however with noticeably much less of the Disney world.
However the world out there’s not all created equal, some are significantly better than others, however the place do they stand as compared to one another?

100 acre forest
Winnie the Pooh
It is unhappy to see the 100 Acre Wooden degraded to this extent. Granted, it is all the time been an possibility world, so we do not have to consider it that a lot, nevertheless it appears like nobody had that in thoughts when creating Kingdom Hearts 3.
Within the first sport, the 100 Acre Woods world was tied into the primary story as small duties that wanted to be accomplished, and the mini-games in that world have been a whole lot of enjoyable. This drastically frees them from the same old areas infested with Heartless.
Nevertheless, Kingdom Hearts 3’s in-world minigames are among the worst within the sequence, and their brevity makes the story really feel like an afterthought. No less than the artwork type was high class.

olympus
Hercules
The world of Hercules has by no means been my favourite in any of the Kingdom Hearts video games, and it comes up usually, however for some purpose the world of Olympus in Kingdom Hearts 3 is my least favourite.
Most of them are long-drawn worlds that offer you greater battles and the reason why Hercules wants your assist, whether or not it is as a result of he would not really feel like a hero, is shedding his powers, or another purpose.
The explanation to leap into Olympus is especially to undergo the tutorial and get out of it rapidly. Nevertheless, I did get pleasure from kicking all of the Titans’ butts directly, so I am going to give it some credit score.

Arendelle
frozen
If there’s any world that may very well be in comparison with the unique sport’s Atlantica, it is Kingdom Hearts 3’s Arendelle, and you’ll’t even play the minigame to listen to that track. It was a busy worldview, as if the story had been modified throughout manufacturing.
The world itself is fairly good, apart from the sliding mini-games, however every part falls aside within the story. It felt just like the world was setting Elsa as much as be the villain, however then the rug was pulled out and we ended up following the story of the film precisely.
It felt like Elsa was being corrupted after which Hunts all of a sudden confirmed up as a villain out of nowhere and we needed to watch a complete cutscene of Elsa singing “Let It Go” which was irritating as a result of it wasn’t interactive in any respect.

corona kingdom
tangled
I would not object to Sq. Enix utilizing the identical plot because the film for Kingdom Hearts 3. In spite of everything, it is taking place in a number of worlds, normally with slight modifications. Nevertheless, there aren’t any such modifications on the planet of Corona Kingdom.
Play by way of Tangled’s story beat by beat. Nevertheless, the world is significantly better than Arendelle with some stunning surroundings, and the juxtaposition of Heartless and No person in such a wonderful world is nice.
Moreover, I just like the dance mini-games that happen within the kingdom, as they’d an interesting attraction that added to the world for me.

Slightly unsatisfactory
I really like the film “Large Hero 6.” When it was launched, I assumed it was considered one of Disney’s higher 3D animated movies. However when it got here to Kingdom Hearts 3, the workforce type of dropped the ball when designing San Fransokyo.
The world is enjoyable and the cities are a bit participating to discover, however in the end it feels a bit flat and repetitive relatively than vibrant. There aren’t any residents who cower in worry of the Heartless. Slightly, it is just like the world is a diorama and you’re the just one transferring.
Regardless of the design points, it was good to see the characters once more, and the story had a unique tone than the film, making it stand out much more.

monstropolis
monsters inc.
Monsters, Inc. is considered one of my favourite Disney/Pixar motion pictures of all time, so for sure, I used to be excited after I first jumped into this world with Kingdom Hearts 3, however I could also be a bit of biased relating to this world.
Exploring the manufacturing facility was enjoyable, and it was enjoyable to combat enemies whereas powering up the doorways with Boo’s laughter. The rail sliding sequence was additionally a extremely nice time and operating by way of the doorways was a whole lot of enjoyable.
Nevertheless, the primary draw back to this world is that it feels repetitive. Mike and Sulley clarify that laughter is required to open the door. It is a world the place the opening sport is powerful, however loses momentum after some time. I nonetheless thought it was a whole lot of enjoyable.

toy field
Andy’s room lastly seems
I have been ready years for Toy Story to lastly make its option to Kingdom Hearts, and I wasn’t disenchanted with how the world unfolded. Beginning in Andy’s room and heading outdoors to the toy retailer, an authentic story associated to the Toy Story sequence unfolds all through.
After they arrive on the toy retailer, the world begins to get higher. The world could be very massive, there are a whole lot of battles, and it is possible for you to to pilot a mech swimsuit. The motion is sort of continuous, making it probably the most entertaining worlds in gaming.
And you’ll’t discuss concerning the world of Toy Field with out mentioning Woody delivering one of many coldest traces within the sequence to Xehanort’s face: “I do not suppose anybody has ever cherished you earlier than.” The one lackluster facet of this world was the straightforward battle on the finish, however the remainder of the world greater than makes up for it.

caribbean
pirates of the caribbean
I used to be a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean universe when it first appeared in Kingdom Hearts 2, so I used to be positively excited to see the franchise return with a 3rd installment within the mainline sequence. It didn’t disappoint in any respect. It ended up being my favourite world within the sport.
We meet Jack Sparrow once more through the occasions of At World’s Finish and are instantly launched to the sport’s ship fight. It is a disgrace this did not make it into different elements of the sport, as a result of the ship fight was among the greatest I’ve ever seen.
Exploring this world was among the finest elements of Kingdom Hearts 3. I spent years visiting each island within the Caribbean to gather all of the treasures and don’t have any regrets. Every little thing you expertise on this world culminates in a battle between the Kraken and Davy Jones. That is thrilling.
This world embodies every part I really like concerning the Kingdom Hearts sequence, so it is simple to replay.
