    Alright, as a weeb I always wished that a site would release reviews for games that are specifically for fans of the IP. Like, most DBZ games can be a 6 or 7 out of 10 for most gamers but a 9 if you're a huge fan. If you've ever wanted that, here is my review of Kakarot.

    There is no DBZ game like it. The closest relative it has in any series is the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, but it is by
    Alright, as a weeb I always wished that a site would release reviews for games that are specifically for fans of the IP. Like, most DBZ games can be a 6 or 7 out of 10 for most gamers but a 9 if you're a huge fan. If you've ever wanted that, here is my review of Kakarot.

    There is no DBZ game like it. The closest relative it has in any series is the Ultimate Ninja Storm games, but it is by no means a clone. There is no versus, no online, this is a straight up JRPG. The story is almost verbatim the anime, but with little extras thrown in for fans who have seen it a thousand times. And like the Storm games, it is great fun to simply watch certain classic scenes recreated with the beautiful unreal engine. When Piccolo destroys the moon, his monologue about turning Gohan into a warrior is given the backdrop of meteors from the moon explosion streaking across the night sky. I got chills.

    The combat is fun and satisfying, there is a learning curve as the controls are similar to Storm but cleverly DBZ-ified. One of my favorite details is the mechanic for menus mid-fight: Whenever you hold L1 for a radial menu of super moves, or R1 for support character actions, the fight enters slow-motion. This creates some cool moments, and is optional in the menu if you want a challenge and faster gameplay.

    The RPG elements fit right in. Flying around and exploring nets you Orbs, which are used to upgrade skills, so you're rewarded for nerding out over the map (which is loaded with content.) Low level enemies fly around and provide random encounters for exp. I got so into the side quests and exploration, I let Raditz lock Gohan in a hot space pod for probably 3 hours. I am only one saga into the game, and I really considered calling out of work today to play it until my eyes bleed. The lack of any modes besides story is the only drawback, but if you have Xenoverse 2 then stfu and play the different modes in that. This game is a straight up single player experience.

    Love the game, ton of fan service, nails the story, adds some interesting storytelling, makes other stuff make sense. Fun, DBZ game for fans. If you play past the Frieza Arc, things begin to pick up. Most negative reviews seem to be people who only played through the first quarter of the game.

    For me 10.

    Epic fights. Finally first Dragon Ball where you can dodge attacks like in Anime.

    Story great. Side quests sometimes can be a pain in the a** but that is not a bigger issues.
    Animations, Music - everything in Dragon Ball climate!

    Can't wait to play next DLC's!

    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.

    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.

    Tutto quello che potete chiedere da un gioco di Dragon Ball se siete veri appassionati della saga.
    Esplorazione del mondo molto profonda, non solo fine a se stessa ma utile per la progressione dei personaggi. La possibilità di vedere da vicino t

    This is the most beautiful Dragon Ball Z game I've ever played hands down. Brutal honesty here, this isn't technically "Open world" BUT!....DO NOT LET THAT FOOL YOU. This game's zones are absolutely gigantic. Beautiful voice acting, visuals are true to the anime, free roaming is just...ADDICTING. I spent 2 hours just flying around at level 3 with piccolo.

    Awesome and fun gameplay, cool animations. Good amount of content thats not highlighted in the show or previous game. Yes its the same story, but done better then all of the previous games imo. If you love Dragon Ball, especially Z, then its a must buy, because even if the story is the same, you never played lt like DBZK.

    This is a perfect example of a game that's for the fans of the series, you can see this when you compare the critic score to the user score.

    Fans like myself will love the instanced open world. While not open world, it is very close to that feeling and with seeing the world of the series I grew up with is awesome.

    Despite the numerous flaws, Kararot still offers a wonderful retelling of the main story, above-average graphics, and a great soundtrack, so it’s worth picking up for established and new fans of the series alike.

    Even though DBZ: Kakarot retells the same story the franchise has been telling for decades, it manages to do so in creative new ways for hardcore anime fans.

    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! May they not stop here, and deliver more and more of love-letters like this. If it goes in the right direction, the next one could definitely be legendary.
