    if for some reason someone didn't watch dragon ball Z this is a great way to experience it. You re playing the main story and seeing the events that occur while you control the characters.
    the music is nothing more of a nostalgic tone . I believe its the first RPG dragon ball since the original Game boy Legacy of Goku games.

    battles are fast pacing and extremely good, the cutscenes gorgeous.
    Also worth mentioning that the way they combined the 2 Xenoverses into this with the secret boss is amazing

    HOWEVER
    this game cut some important scenes such as the final flash,rage form trunks and others.
    The game does not have the replay ability value (for me), some rpg elements such as food and Z board shouldn't even be there since they re useless :')    … Expand

    Played Game Time: 55 Hours

    Intro

    The long-running Dragon Ball franchise has delved into its first attempt into an Open World Action RPG which is a route many longtime fans have wanted for decades. Dragon Ball Z story has many retellings and this game follows in the same footsteps. While many anime games have a stigma of not being that great, can this game break the mold like Dragon Ball FighterZ?

    Story/World Building – 2/3

    I have never seen the Dragon Ball Z anime but this game does a good job retelling the story in a way that someone like me could still follow and enjoy. If you have never seen the anime, most would tell you to watch that instead but this is not a bad substitute if you don’t have the time. If you have seen the anime, you’re missing nothing in the story department. While it is told competently, there is a varying level of quality between cutscenes. Due to the overwhelming amount of DBZ games retelling the anime story, this might burn out fans wanting to pick this title up.

    Gameplay – 2/4

    Exploring the vast landscapes or fighting one of the many iconic villains from DBZ can be a lot of fun but there is a lot of fault with it. Fighting mechanics consist of an easy one to two-button press combo that looks flashy but can become repetitive especially when grinding for EXP if you want to max out all 7 playable characters. Most fights will not be difficult because characters automatically level up with the story making side quest pointless. Side quests are boring fetch quests with uninteresting stories and no voice acting. Other side activities like fishing and crafting are almost an afterthought and have little bearing on anything else in the game. There is fun to be had in the 40 to 50 hours you will spend in the game, but mix in the negative of the gameplay and a story you most likely have played though before, the game offers very little for a 2020 release.

    Technical/Performance – 2/3

    LOAD SCREENS! Load screens are a major issue in this game to the point that you will spend 1/3 of the game in just load screens. Graphics look nice some times and look a little dated in others. It’s pretty disappointing to see almost flawless looking cutscenes, and then static characters with little to no life right after. The soundtrack is pretty generic with most songs lifted straight from the anime but it gets the job done. It’s not the worst technical performance I have seen from a game but improving load times would help.

    Verdict

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a game I want to like due to how much I got into the story and this game being my gateway into watching the Dragon Ball Super anime but there are quite a few flaws that show up in this RPG despite its potential. If you want to experience an Action RPG in the DBZ universe, this is still the best one (only because it's the only one) but I would wait for a price drop and for the game to be released with all DLC before making a purchase.    … Expand

    The DB games franchise needed something brand new, innovative. So, that's what Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot did. It ain't the best RPG, or the best Sandbox, but the game fulfilled its objectives. I think that Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and DBZ: Kakarot are the 2 best DB games ever made.

    DBZ Kakarot is a worthy installment for all fans of the franchise. To me this game is a 8.5. As usual I go with my gut feeling whether to go up and down. This time I would say it is a worthy 9 for fans and a decent 8 for casual visitors to the series. I ve been playing DBZ Kakarot on my PS4 Pro with SSD and will give you some heads-up with my personal game experience.

    First of all I    DBZ Kakarot is a worthy installment for all fans of the franchise. To me this game is a 8.5. As usual I go with my gut feeling whether to go up and down. This time I would say it is a worthy 9 for fans and a decent 8 for casual visitors to the series. I ve been playing DBZ Kakarot on my PS4 Pro with SSD and will give you some heads-up with my personal game experience.

    First of all I have to admit that the DragonBall franchise has been a large part of my childhood, still I did not play any of the predecessors because I m not that much of a button-masher-fighting-game-dude. This time I tried my luck because the emphasize seemed to be more on the world and a bit less on the combat.

    The presentation of the game is very good. The visual experience, the effects, the sound and also the voice acting is really really good. You can choose between english and japanese audio which is a worthy addition for fans and might be a let down for people not able to speak or understand english at least. The loading times from saves, starting the game or warping around the semi open world was surprisingly good. It took mere seconds before the loading was done. During my game experience I did not encounter larger frame drops although there seemed to be very minor texture popups during cut-scenes, which is a bit surprising considering I used a pretty decent SSD. I still want to add that this happened scarcely and did not interfere largely with the game experience. The only bug I encountered was that sometimes I was not able to talk to people if fights happened next to them. So I had to save and reload in place to fix it. Nothing too bad overall.

    Gameplay toggles between traversing the semi open world, doing story tasks and sidequests, grabbing orbs to level up or gather new skills during training ground missions. The game loop feels a little bit dull and misses a great opportunity to give this game a real open world touch although it is not a complete let down. For me being not a fighting expert the mechanics are okay. You control your character with a handful of skill buttons and can toggle to party members skills with shoulder buttons. Mix up skills are also available making the fighting experience interesting. You dont have to mash combos as you would in full blown fighting games. More or less you mash between dashes, strikes and punches, build up your ki and fire designated skills at the enemy. Whether that is enough for you might be very subjective. It feels mashing heavy at times but for me still sufficiently complex. Some boss fights might be a little bit too hard for casual players. To me it felt largely okay.

    Fights go in different alterations such as 1v1, 1v2, 1vX or XvY, so there is also some variety here and in free roam mode you can also customize your party you want to go out with. The game feels a little drawn out at times quite as you would expect it knowing the old series. Still I have to say it was a worthy experience because you can enjoy the stages of DBZ in a more direct and somewhat condensed feeling without loosing too much of its original depth. Everything you loved (and probably hated) is in here for you to re-discover.

    One of the biggest let downs for me (as it was back then) is that the game is pretty cut in terms of gore and violence. They tried to manage it well with setting decent scene cuts but for hardcore fans this might be a re-ocurring nightmare of old times where you had to go with imported versions to see the actual movie experience. I wished they had an option for this or an uncut version to buy because it made me really sad to live through the disappointment again. Decide for yourself whether this is a no-go or not but it is to me also a deciding factor to why I choose the 8 on my side.

    I would recommend this game for franchise fans and people who enjoy semi casual fighting combined with semi open world story elements. Maybe grab it at some discount but I feel that it is a game that has a decent production value. It would ve been kinda cool if they took an even more RPG-ish approach to leveling or evolving your character because it feels overly simplistic at times. Knowing the franchise the next appearance might be already in the works and who knows what will come next.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many great ideas for this game, poor execution. One of the more aspects for me was cooking setup. Only make one item at a time, takes way too long. The constantly switching between characters was also annoying. Artificially extending boss fights by adding lame mechanics that make them invulnerable almost. The power curve for levels and exp is way out of portions as well. The biggest annoyance was how bad the voice acting and lip sync was.… Expand

    I was hating all these Dragon Ball games we've been feeding all these years and FINALLY a Dragon Ball RPG game with quests, allot of exploration stuff to do, several character to lvl up, some mini games and much more. A Dragon Ball game where you FINALLY could train that strong that you could one shot most enemy who are much weaker than you just like in the Anime itself so the point of training makes finally a sense.

    A Tip for beginner. When you are 5 lvl above the enemy on the map, you can finish the fight without even starting it by Super Speed flying into them. This method saves you allllllllot of time lvling up your character from the beginning of the game. If you love Dragon Ball then this is in fact a MUST HAVE.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's under 9,000

    Enjoyed the game overall, but there are problems. Graphics are mostly good and there's a huge amount of detail and lore in the game's Z Encyclopedia, plus plenty of post-story content and a huge world to explore. Unfortunately, it's plagued by stability issues ranging from frame rate drops to crashes and failing to recover when returning to the game from the PS4 dashboard. Gameplay is what we've come to expect from over-the-shoulder DBZ titles. Ultimately it becomes button mashing and nothing but beam attacks because the controls are unresponsive and the camera is broken. You can't record certain gameplay segments and you're forced you to agree to an in-game EULA before you can play at all. I'm done w/ Bandai Namco.

    Audio

    1. No VO in side-quests besides repetitive, awkward grunts or random mono-syllabic phrases to represent entire paragraphs of subtitles. The final VO for many conversations is "hi." Disgustingly obvious shortcut.

    2. Idle VO is repetitive and often nonsensical; within seconds of eating, characters complain of hunger. Every time a mob gets close, the same character VO plays. It's annoying.

    3. Bad dialogue pacing and usually too much pause after each line (see item 7 in gameplay).

    4. Mostly original voice cast.

    5. Frequent sound dropout, most noticeable with team finishing moves and transformations.

    Gameplay

    1. Some NPC interactions seem like they're going to be sidequests but aren't, which is confusing.

    2. Battle camera is completely broken--no better than it was in the Tenkaichi series. Doesn't help that you get pinned against scenery and the player character disappears completely when multiple opponents are shooting particle fx.

    3. Driving is awful. No matter how much you upgrade your car, the driving never improves because the camera doesn't turn with the car therefor you can't see where you're going. You have to move the camera manually as you turn so that you're not looking at the side of the car.

    4. Feels like every enemy attack stuns you, and you get attacked through your own beams. When attacking a stunned enemy at close range, no matter what you do, you will get knocked back as soon as their stun period ends.

    5. Mini map is useless. It's too small and everything on it looks the same. Can't even tell which direction you're facing. When certain items are added to the larger map screen, it might be impossible to find them because they overlap other map icons.

    6. Lazy development lead to in-game healing items. There's no limit to how many you can buy or how many you can use in a fight. It's as if the devs played the game, realized it was broken, and threw healing items in at the last second as a "fix."

    7. Just like in Dragon Ball Fighterz, you're forced you to press X after every line of subtitled dialogue which breaks the pacing of the exposition. Turning off subtitles only affects a handful of cut scenes, it doesn't actually do what you'd expect.

    8. Unavoidable mobs which spawn infinitely and yield little XP. Just annoying, avoid them.

    9. Leveling is mostly scripted so that each character is at a minimum level at each point in the story. Not much customization.

    10. At certain points through the story you're boxed into an area w/ invisible walls, but there's no indication that this is the case until you automatically turn around when you hit one. Worst on Namek.

    11. First person ki-firing mechanic is terrible and unless you aim above your target you end up blasting the ground.

    12. Often difficult to find things and you might fly in circles for 20+ minutes searching for items or people.

    13. Baseball game needs a restart option to avoid completely unnecessary fumbling through menus and NPC conversations.

    14. When a sidequest requires a specific character, it's not enough that he be in your party, he has to be the player character. Rather than auto-switch for you when attempting to start the quest, you have to manually reconfigure your party. This happens a lot.

    Visuals

    1. Game looks nice overall. Some cut scenes are gorgeous while others are little more than talking heads with exaggerated breathing animations. Because of the aforementioned dialogue/pressing X issue, a lot of the animation comes across as unnatural (or even creepy) while characters hold a pose and an expression waiting for your controller input. Most noticeable w/ Mr. Satan's laugh...

    2. Load screens begin and end with a full white screen, be prepared to shield your eyes frequently. 3. English lip sync virtually nonexistent    … Expand

    As a fanboy, who has been following Dragonball series since childhood, I will rate it as 9/10

    Otherwise, it is somewhere around 7-8/10.

    Who should get it?

    If you are new to Dragonball ball series or never ever watched Dragonball anime, then get it blindly, since story has been highlighted very well.

    Who can skip it?

    Well, fanboys like me will definitely buy it without giving a second thought. But still, if you have played all the Dragonball based games in past, and watched each and every saga of Dragonball, and want to save your money , I will suggest you to wait until price drop. :)

I get being a fan , I love dragonball and games, but if you care about something you tell it when its done wrong, not pretend its all good and live in denial.

    the fighting mechanics are weak its like xenoverse had a regression of mechanics, all bosses have super armour and all training is 3 on 1 with them spamming you with projectiles, there is no challenge outside of that, most fights consist of one combo over and over and spamming special moves.
    the "rpg" elements are little to none and have little impact in the game its a action game with ridiculous numbers that don't mean a lot when you really look at it,

    some of the visuals are amazing and really show what this game is capable of like recomes ultra fighting bomber or vegeta loosing his temper at cell are 10/10 when it comes to visuals I cant deny that, but so many other story critical moments where either low effort cut scenes not fully rendered or straight up skipped and told to us by the announcer while we get a slide show if we get that, the recome scene got more love than the goku vs majin vegeta bit I mean...…….

    we was sold on it having new info to the series but any fan like me will know pretty much all this stuff and anything they do add like bulmas mums name are pointless and not worth your money

    the game called kakarot but it skips most of his time in the anime and focuses on gohan and the other cast, I think you play as goku the least in the story, its a misnomer it should have been called gohan.

    all in all a very average game if you never played a dragonball z game you might get some enjoyment out of playing the story but any older fans will get bored and frustrated with this game fast, as the combat is boring and gets stale fast and they cut so much its painful to sit though after you feel you been robbed of a great moment    … Expand

    Un juego totalmente hecho, para FANS.

    Soy totalmente consciente de que si alguien ajeno a esta franquicia juega a este juego, no le va a gustar nada. Tampoco es necesario tomar de ejemplo a alguien completamente ajeno, con tan solo que esa persona sepa toda la etapa de "Dragon Ball Z" pero no sabe nada de "Dragon Ball" , pues... disfrutará muy poco muchas de las misiones secundarias,    Un juego totalmente hecho, para FANS.

    Soy totalmente consciente de que si alguien ajeno a esta franquicia juega a este juego, no le va a gustar nada. Tampoco es necesario tomar de ejemplo a alguien completamente ajeno, con tan solo que esa persona sepa toda la etapa de "Dragon Ball Z" pero no sabe nada de "Dragon Ball" , pues... disfrutará muy poco muchas de las misiones secundarias, donde lo primordial no son las peleas, sino su complemento en el global del universo Dragon Ball.

    Solo quería aclarar ese punto, Ahora vamos a mi Análisis totalmente personal como fan de las aventuras del Sayajin criado en la tierra, Son Goku.

    *Diseño de personajes: Es de lo primero que se ve en el juego, y a decir verdad, me encantaron. Se nota mucho que se basan en los diseños del manga original de Dragon Ball (por ejemplo, uno de los mejores detalles es el de que una ceja esté más levantada que la otra, típico de los dibujos de Akira Toriyama) y no de los diseños de alguna etapa del anime. Lo negativo en este punto es el sombreado en estos, no sé por qué optaron a una más "realista", si fuesen más planas creo que hubiera sido mejor.

    *Jugabilidad: Me parece muy buena, es muy intuitiva, adictiva y las peleas espectaculares. A pesar de no ser un juego orientado exclusivamente a las luchas (como FighterZ), si me parece mejor que los Xenoverse, ya que, en estos últimos, los movimientos para esquivar o de defensa eran casi nulos y las asistencias estaban de adorno. Lo negativo en este punto son las peleas contra los enemigos del mundo libre, ya que no suponen ningún reto y es contra esos enemigos en donde se vuelve repetitivo.

    *Banda Sonora: Obviamente excelente, pero, lamentablemente, en algunas cinemáticas no las supieron aprovechar y no pega con el acontecimiento que está ocurriendo (los que más me molestaron son cuando Goku usa el kaioken x20 contra Freezer y cuando este mismo es pisoteado por Raditz.

    *Mundo: Me fascinó que este sea el mismo que fue publicado en la guía daizenshuu de Toriyama y cada región con todos sus nombres. Es un mundo totalmente vivo, pero sin contenido a la larga, ya que comienzas a darte cuenta que los orbes salen mucho más rentables obtenerlos al derrotar enemigos, las esferas del dragón, luego de un máximo de 10 usos, ya no valen la pena recogerlas y los materiales también pierden sentido luego de terminar de mejorar la sala de entrenamiento (también aclarar que ninguna misión secundaria te otorga Zenis para lograr este último cometido mencionado). Los villanos son los que salvan a este juego para que no me aburra, ya que se pueden hacer muchos retos interesantes con ellos.

    *Historia: El punto fuerte, se nota que también está basado completamente del manga y no del anime. Pero debo admitir que hay escenas importantes e impactantes que se saltan y no entiendo el por qué (aunque sean muy pocas) como por ejemplo, el Final Flash de Vegeta, la defensa con el dedo índice de goku ante los ataques de espada de Trunks y, la que más me hubiese gustado ver y que estuve esperando, la pelea de Goku Vs Majin Vegeta, aunque fuese unos segundos, me hubiese gustado ver un gran intercambio de golpes.

    *Factor RPG: En un principio te da una falsa sensación de libertad y progreso en los personajes y pensé que sería así todo el juego, pero desde el comienzo de la saga de cell, a pesar de que sigue un poco por ese camino, si que se nota que el factor RPG desde ese punto ya importa mucho más.

    *Censura: A pesar de que está muy censurado, se nota que está menos censurado que muchos otro juegos de Dragon Ball (por no decir todos). Espero que suponga un avance para las siguientes entregas

    *Global y Conclusión final: A pesar de no tener destrucción de ropa y no tener las mejores secundarias en cuanto a actividad se refiere, este juego está hecho para complementar el universo de Dragon Ball de una manera genial, puramente para fans. Si bien, no puedes jugar activamente con todos los personajes, si puedes llevarlos en tu grupo. Tiene una estética muy bonita y una jugabilidad en el que tú decides si quieres que sea un machaca botones o no (esto me hizo acordar a los Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking, Neo, Meteor).

    Ese es todo mi Análisis, espero que les haya sido de utilidad. Saludos!!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As it stands right now, the game feels as if it needed a lot more polishing and technical work, and just simply more time. Constant bugs, some that even make me reboot the game to continue plague the game right now, and it has some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard in a dragonball Z game. All the main voice actors do a great job, but then the delivery is off in a lot of scenes, or they just use the same recorded "Okay!" about 500 times. Voice lines repeat, play out of order, and there are some instances of brief scenes that had 0 audio.

    Some of the other voice actors (Android 17 especially) were just awful. Sounded like they were just reading a book out loud, instead of actually playing a character.

    Most of the issues I have with the game can be fixed though. The game itself is pretty fun, if not a little grindy (But a hell of a lot less grindy than most RPGs). I'd definitely recommend people wait to buy, after a few more patches maybe things will be improved.    … Expand

    1 NO es un juego RPG bajo ningún parámetro

    2 El juego después del primer capitulo es pobre en el sentido de innovación y enfrentamientos, vale decir, repetitivo, peleas constantes y molestas contra, siempre, los mismos enemigos (genéricos) mientras te mueves, (enemigos que no aportan nada, ya que su loot es pobre e invariable, y la experiencia que dan es insignificante)

    3 Demasiadas cinemáticas y cargas, básicamente el juego carga durante 30 segundos mínimo, entre cada 20 segundos o 2 minutos de juego. El 60% del tiempo que estas jugando solo estas viendo cinemáticas, otro 20% estas cargando, por lo que de juego queda bien poco.

    4 Los diseños no están a la altura de otras entregas, en ocasiones se ven cutres o poco detallados

    5 Las batallas son monótonas, todas caen en las mismas mecánicas, después de un rato de jugar, cuando debes aprender skills nuevas, todos los desafíos son iguales, lo cual hace que pierda todo dinamismo y en definitiva no te den ganas de sacarlas, pues con dos o tres puedes derrotar a todos sin problemas.

    6 El juego adolece de sistemas diversos, la única cosa diferente es conducir un auto, mientras otros elementos simplemente son irrelevantes como el farmeo de materiales, la comida incluso la recolección de esferas de poder, en este aspecto el juego es deprimente pues lo único que haces es apretar un botón y moverte a una nueva pelea.

    7 El juego dice tener entre 45 y 80 horas de juego, lo que es verdad, pero como mencione antes, en realidad de juego no tiene mas de 35 si le quitas las cinemáticas y las cargas constantes.

    8 El costo del juego es muy elevado para lo poco que ofrece, básicamente, es el costo de un juego como inquisition o cuando salio witcher 3, entre muchos otros de ese nivel de calidad, sin embargo es un juego muy olvidable.

    9 Cero rejugabilidad, un típico RPG lo puedes jugar muchísimas veces; sin embargo, este titulo por su sistema de juego y peleas mas las cargas y cinemáticas, definitivamente no querrás volver a jugarlo, ademas de que en el juego jamas tomas una decisión por lo que no hay posibles variantes o resultados así como tampoco hay finales diferentes, lo cual es lógico por que es la historia de Goku; sin embargo, es tan limitante esto ultimo que es insultante que lo denominen como rpg.

    10 No tiene sistema de pelea pvp, tampoco eventos que siempre llaman la atención como la configuración de un torneo o cualquier cosa que no sea hacer lo mismo por horas.

    BIEN

    1 El sistema de pelea es simple y esto hace que sean rápidas y vertiginosas dando una sensación inmersiva de velocidad, pero solo eso.

    2 Si bien encontré varios bugs, ninguno fue serio o dramático, en ese sentido el juego esta bien.

    3 La animación de los movimientos es fluida y bien lograda tanto para moverse libremente como en las peleas.

    4 Es un buen resumen de la historia, y si bien hay partes que hubiese querido jugar, la mayoría están ahí.

    5 La música esta bien puesta, me refiero a que suena precisamente la que debería sonar en cada momento del juego.

    6 El mapa, los lugares, las ciudades y escenarios están bien logrados, dan la sensación correcta, y dan ganas de recorrerlos.

    CONCLUSIÓN

    El juego esta bien logrado en los aspectos visuales en su mayoría, también en la animación de movimientos y combate, sin embargo es tedioso, repetitivo, sin rejugabilidad. Tiene una absoluta carencia del genero RPG y no aporta nada ni al genero ni a la saga. Es un juego limitado tanto por la historia original como por el exceso de cinemáticas y cargas, lo que tampoco ayuda a sopesar las constantes batallas contra enemigos molestos e insípidos que vagan por el mapa, los cuales solo varían en lvl pues su forma de pelear como su imagen siempre es la misma.
    El juego trata de sorprender con sistemas de comida, pesca, carreras y un farmeo ágil, sin embargo todas esas mecánicas quedan obsoletas al resultar casi inútiles para el juego, ya que no aportan realmente nada al desarrollo de los personajes, quedando en el rincón de las anécdotas.
    Tomando en cuenta todo lo anterior, el juego tiene un valor excesivo para lo mediocre que resulta al concluirlo, Es un juego que dura un par de semanas y luego quedara en el cajón guardando polvo.
    En definitiva si tuviera que definirlo en una sola palabra, seria: DECEPCIONANTE    … Expand

You can be caught up in a lot of the story before DB:Super. There are some slight bugs here and there but this can easily be looked over. The combat and gameplay are great! Animation is perfect! Voice acting can be cringe sometimes but that's not a problem. Missing out on a side-quest can be annoying as you won't have access to them anymore through the story until you complete the entire game.
    The perfect DBZ story-telling game in an RPG element! Now all we have to do is for them to do DB:Super as well and then this will be the PERFECT GAME! There are a couple of things to do after the game but I'll let that to you to find out yourself.    … Expand

    Great visuals and overall presentation, but everything else is just mediocre or straight up bad. I wasn't expecting anything deep but the game's mechanics are either too simplistic or annoying.

I wasn't expecting anything deep but the game's mechanics are either too simplistic or annoying.

    1. You get 1 attack button that can't be cancelled into supers unless you do a full combo then pair it with a Kamehameha. Some supers are also broken due to input delay and others just don't work properly like the consecutive energy blast.

    2. Boss fights are annoying. Their attacks are always paired with super armor and will often even go through your supers. If you get a boss down to it's last HP bar then they'll start to permanently rotate between super armor specials and super armor dash attacks. The joke about all this is that the gameplay isn't the slightest bit challenging, yet it tries so hard to annoy you in every single way possible.

    3. Uneccessary rpg mechanics. What's the point of having a leveling system when each time you change characters they get 1million XP for free? No reason to grind. The skill tree is also just a bunch of upgrades for attacks that you get through the story. What's the difference between this and the capsule system that was used in Budokai 3? Maybe the fact that companies today need to have "rPg eLemeNtZ" in order for their game to sell.

    TL;DR Style over substance.. Bandai is a company that makes low effort garbage and Kakarot is yet another proof of that.    … Expand

Ni está demasiado bien, ni mal.

    POSITIVO

    - Historia: revivirla de manera muy fiel (desde Raditz).
    - Banda sonora: temas y sonidos originales de la serie.
    - Enciclopedia Z: muy muy amplia, incluso con explicaciones muy determinadas de ciertos elementos.
    - Animaciones: hay ciertas partes de la historia que parecen sacadas frame a frame de la serie animada. Pero que se ven mejor que nunca.

    NEUTRO

    - Combates: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot NO es un juego de peleas. No existen los combos elaborados, no hay que pulir tu habilidad para hacer buenos y espectaculares combates.
    - Desplazamiento: resulta bastante agradable volar a toda velocidad por los mapas de este mundo semi-abierto a porciones.
    - Sistema de Comunidad: está bien recolectar emblemas de todos los personajes e implementarlos en un tablero de sinergias para obtener mejoras. El problema es que estas mejoras no se notan demasiado en el gameplay.

    NEGATIVO

    - Misiones secundarias: completamente banales. A estas alturas sobran este tipo de misiones repetitivas y vacías. Lo único que aportan bueno es ver algún personaje clásico y conseguir su emblema.
    - Equilibrio: hay ciertos entrenamientos y misiones secundarias que no están bien ejecutados. Si el nivel recomendado es 30, no puede ser que te revienten a nivel 28 y los destroces a nivel 31. No resulta satisfactorio, puesto que no parece que dependa de ti.
    - Niveles de EXP: fatal. Experiencia ridículamente baja farmeando enemigos por el mundo, y desproporcionadamente alta durante los combates de la historia principal. No sirve de NADA combatir en el mundo abierto.
    - Habilidades: no hay problema con la poca variedad (eso es Dragon Ball), sino en que se desbloquean más por historia que otra cosa (y las que son por nivel, me remito al punto anterior. Es muy complicado subir nivel fuera de la historia). Está claro que no vas a conseguir el Súper Saiyan 3 antes de Freezer, pero, ¿por qué no el KameHameHa Guiado o el Combo +1, +2, etc?.
    - Tiempos de carga: EL PEOR ASPECTO DEL JUEGO. Es ridículo, y lo peor es que, sabiéndolo, lo diseñen así. En una PS4 normal, los tiempos de carga son de entre 25-35 segundos. Si hubiera alguno suelto, no habría problema, pero es que el diseño de misiones y la narrativa lo requieren muy a menudo. Como es un mundo semi-abierto (porciones de mapa más o menos grandes entre las que te mueves con un mapa de viaje rápido) hay tiempos de carga entre ellas, y hay misiones en las que tienes 3 o 4 seguidas entre momentos o conversaciones de 5 segundos. Si me vas a hacer recoger cinco p***s manzanas, no me hagas irme a otro mapa, cogerlas y volver, que estoy más tiempo cargando que jugando. Igual que con ciertas conversaciones de la historia que se suceden en distintas zonas del mapa y que duran 4 segundos con tiempos de carga entre todas ellas... FATAL.

I don't want to sit and read text boxes. Granted I was frustrated for the first few hours because I didn't know how to do certain things.

    Does it really need the tacked on RPG elements and open world with nothing there? I'm tired of developers making open world games but never put any effort into the environment. It reminds me of Death Stranding. There is no incentive to explore. The world is just peppered with orbs you can't even use right away, and ingredients for the food crafting mechanics. Aside from the main story characters, all the NPCs look like lifeless dolls. There is no detail to them at all. Instead they could have easily just made it one screen where you just choose the next story event. That's all this game feels like. But instead you just fly through an open empty world to the next event.

    This game is falsely advertised as an RPG. Not sure what is the point of making it like an RPG when you can't really level grind either. I guess to give you the sense you're getting stronger like in the show? But if you try to power up too much and get certain abilities, the game locks you out from using them. So what's the point in training like in the show when you can't even play the way you want and use abilities you earned? Just because it doesn't follow the story? Then why make it like an RPG?

    Normal mobs are easy to kill and some boss fights are very hard if you don't bring healing items. It's very unbalanced. Bosses just spam their special moves. Battle is boring. It's basically just dodge a lot and wait for an opening to get a few hits in. Makes combat take forever on tough fights. It's not fun. What's fun is really beating the crap out of an enemy and feeling good about it. I don't want to sit here and dodge a lot waiting to get a few hits in. This isn't Dark Souls!

    Not very satisfied with this game. It's the same story we've all seen before. Honestly I'm just skipping all the story and dialogue. I know the plot points. I don't want to sit through it all again. If the new content was worth it maybe I'd be into that, but the side quests are boring and repetitive. There really ISN'T a whole lot here that I haven't seen before content wise. If they were going to redo the same story. The least they could have done was make some fun alternative story content.

    This game is just another cash grab on people's nostalgia, and I fell for it. Just avoid this rubbish. The load times are straight up out of PS1 era of bad. Can they fix it in a patch? Anyway, just buy a real open world RPG like Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Es unos de los mejores juegos de dragón ball que hasta ahora ha esplorado la historia de manera más profunda que ninguno y con muchos momentos memorables la única pega que le pongo es al sistema de combate que se puede tornar algo repetitiva cuando llevas más de 25 horas jugando pero la verdad trae una gran calidad sobre todo con la banda sonora original de la serie

    A very few games can compare to Kakarot in terms of sheer love towards the original series and storytelling qualities. Not without its set of flaws that leave only regret not being even greater, Kakarot still manages to be a great game for fans. No, scratch that. It manages to be an amazing game!
