The story in "Kindergarten 3" continues to build on the chaotic and humorous narrative established in its predecessors, featuring engaging missions and deeper lore that fans appreciate.

- “The problem is, Kindergarten 3 is very story-based, and fairly trial and error, more so than the first two games, so messing up near the end or middle of a room means you have to skip through the same cutscenes and textboxes to get back to where you were.”

The gameplay in Kindergarten 3 has received mixed reviews, with many players noting the absence of beloved mechanics from previous titles, such as costume collectibles and the monstermon game.
