This was the one chance I had to play online with my cousins while we were both hyped for The Last Jedi and liking the Star Wars sequels still felt awesome. Then the servers crashed. So I only have the memories of playing with them in person. My memories from December of 2015 and The Force Awakens strengthen my feelings on this game. Gosh, what a great time to be a Star Wars fan. It probably always will be. I hope I’m wrong, though.
3.0 is the most advanced Disney Infinity game and for that it has a lot to offer in terms of creating levels or exploring playsets. This one like 2.0 is bloated a lot with one franchise being Starwars in this case, but they also made a lot of regular disney alongside it and even made playsets for non Starwars franchises so it was less of a problem. While I favour the first Disney Infinity due to its charm, this is the one I go to if I want to be more serious with my level creating.
The toys to life model aside, the core of the game really was superb. I couldn't have wished for a better game to grow up with. The Toy Box Creativity toys taught me computing fundamentals before I even understood what that meant; the combat system expanding upon what 2.0 brought to the table; it really was the full package and I'm sad that it died so soon.
Disney Infinity 3 adds even more improvements over the previous games and created a really good foundation for a great online community of fun custom maps. Sadly, with the servers shut down, none of that is available anymore. Additionally, with the figures being difficult to get, Disney Infinity in general is not really playable. I understand that the core of these games is maybe not the best but I absolutely loved them and 100%'d all 3 games. As a toy collector, a Disney fan, and a gamer, I loved these games. The figures were really well-designed collectibles with a great aesthetic, we still have some of them on display. I have fond memories of this game and the community and I wish these games had found some way to continue after the death of the toys-to-life market.

By far best game in the Disney Infinity series. Toy Box continues to be good, but they didn't leave Play Sets out in the dust this time. They also actually remembered their other franchises this time, unlike 2.0 which was all Marvel all the time. This one didn't neglect the Disney/Pixar/Marvel sectors despite the Star Wars focus, and while it was sad that the series went out after this, at least it went out at its best.
