Finished the game last night. I played through on Proud because I heard the game was easy as fuck. It was indeed easy as fuck.
But that aside, I more or less enjoyed the relevant parts of the game. Unfortunately the relevant parts of the game were only the last few hours, once they stopped doing the disney world stuff and moved past the organisation 13 filler and wrapped it all up. Everything was pretty well done from that point and I don't have any real complaints.
That said, I'm not sure why the game took so long to make, there really feels like a severe lack of content. I imagine the whole thing went like this:
"Ok we need to finish this KH3 game. I know we have a lot of plot points to wrap up, but I think we can do that pretty well."
"Umm... but don't we have to do the disney world stuff too?"
"No? We have done that for every game so far, it is a pointless waste of time"
"... I agree but we need to have Donald and Goofy in the game and the disney bosses say to do that we need to promote like 5 or 6 of their worlds."
"Fuck Donald and Goofy, we'll just say they died off screen and nobody will care.
"But Mickey? We have a scene planned where he does that eyes looking down thing. It is pretty much 100% of the game's emotion lost if we lost him."
"...Fine. But we don't have to make up any reason for Sora to visit those worlds do we?"
"Fuck no, he can just appear, go through the basic story of each world and move on. It'll be fine. Like he could show up in the toy story world and we will not even begin to say why. We'll just throw in a random organisation 13 member somewhere to appease the suckers who paid for the mobile spin off titles."
"Ok... but if you put in a world with musical numbers I swear to god I'll loop the "friend in me" music in the toy story world in the most obnoxious way possible"
"... umm ok sure. By the way I have the meeting with the frozen people this afternoon ..."
I'm still glad I played it and had a bit of emotion at the end when the music started playing. Not so much for anything felt playing the game, but because of how life has gone, how the series has stayed with me and ... yeah.
Do I hope to see more? Yeah sure. The game is still fun to play in its repetitive way and if they can get rid of Sora, who is a complete and utter moron they might have an interesting story to tell. They might also not have you do things like collect hundreds of crabs, because fuck that.
A solid 7.5/10. Doesn't quite hit the heights of KH2, but it was fine.
