Games That Will Definitely Be Overhyped in 2019
Kingdom Hearts III
It’s a tall order to expect fans not to overhype a game that’s been in the making for over ten years. Kingdom Hearts III has been dangled in front of us and then whisked away so many times that it’s bordered on parody.
How many trailers, new characters, and world reveals have we seen without an actual release date? And then, even when we had a release date it kept bloody changing! It’s somewhat surreal that this landmark title is finally going to be in our hands in just a few weeks.
Well, I say landmark title… it remains to be seen whether Kingdom Hearts III actually represents a gameplay and story experience that’s compelling beyond just the intrigue of a Disney/Final Fantasy mash-up. And I think that’s a fair question to have about this series, which in reality, is still a bit of a cult-classic rather than an instant hit.
Kingdom Hearts III looks visually outstanding, it’s undoubtedly oozing charm, and people love Disney and Final Fantasy. However, the expectation that Kingdom Hearts III is going to be this big GOTY contender, or even just an outstanding video game, might want to prepare themselves for a bit of comforting light entertainment rather than a generation-defining experience.
