    Super surpris, moi qui ne suis pas ultra sur-fan de DBZ, j'ai adoré la mise en situation, les cinématiques, les combats avec une impression de puissance et de contrôle, en bref, je m'attendais à un vulgaire tas de boue en mode "pour les fans", et vraiment derrière ça, on retrouve un jeu ! Peut-être pas le meilleur des action/RPG/combat (je suis profane dans le dernier domaine).

Peut-être pas le meilleur des action/RPG/combat (je suis profane dans le dernier domaine). Le côté semi open world/vs fighting marche bien. Le tout saupoudré de cinématiques à la façon DBZ, j'ai l'impression d'avoir l'animé+VS fighting+RPG dans un mélange franchement sympa.
    Ca sentait d'avance la déception, au final c'est une bonne surprise :)
    Gros bémol : il manque une VF, et idéalement les voix FR de l'animé (les doubleurs sont encore actifs, bon sang pas d'excuses à part un manque de volonté et d'implication dans votre produit !!)

    Amazing! This game is so much fun and I love the open world. Graphics are great and it even has some brand new content never before seen. There is so much to do and if you liked the legacy of goku series you will love this game!

    El mejor dragon ball desde BT3, la música es sencillamente maravillosa, una gran jugabilidad con una historia que te hace sentir que estas viendo la serie. Sin duda el mejor tras el mítico BT3

    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL GAME. The amount of detail and nostalgia DBZ Kakarot has is simply superb. From the interactions, to the music. I simply cannot put it down, I have gone back to certain scenarios just so I can explore or do a side mission.

    The Encyclopedia along with the Soul emblems left me mind-blown. The Menu graphics, the orchestra, the classic DBZ memorabilia, just WOW.

    Without hesitation, this is by far the best Dragon Ball game of all time, and one of the best video games overall, in several years.

    A great entry point for people who never watched the anime or would like to relive it again. Having not played an action RPG (in this manner) I was captivated by the so called "boss" battles as they can be quiet challenging.

    The open world is somewhat empty but there are still side quests, collectibles and resources to be found that make you more efficient in combat. It looks like it

    It looks like it will be a 40-60 covering most aspects of the whole Dragon Ball Z saga. I've spent about 10 hours so far and it has been a blast

    Dragon ball Z kakarot is a disgrace of a video game! After completing the main story as well as doing the majority of side quests, this game has left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth.

After completing the main story as well as doing the majority of side quests, this game has left a horrible aftertaste in my mouth. The main story horribly depicts the well loved anime and manga series and what seems like was mainly developed for an easy cash grab. The only thing holding this game up and what is so appealing about it is the dragon ball title. The combat is boring and repetitive as there is only one attack button unlike other games they have made in the past like the xenoverse games. This offers no opportunity for the use of different combos while fighting making it overly repetitive. The graphics at times in cinematics are beautiful but when in the game along with poor textures look as if the game was rushed. Npcs other than main people shown in the books or anime are god awful. All npcs are lifeless and overall lack character as there is no hand or face movements while they are taking. The open world experience for this game is pointless other than mainly to collect orbs which are littered throughout the map as well as going to side quests. Hunting and exploring is a bother which mainly all side quests consist of. The game mainly is also way too easy and offers no challenge as there is no difficulty option. The only times where I had fun were the main fights at the end of each ark. Overall I would not recommend this game as it obviously is designed for a quick cash grab. Expand

    A tad on the grindy side and I really wish you could turn of those annoying character remarks that is uttered and repeated constantly whenever an enemy is nearby

    Also, there is a game breaking buggy area at the area where you can train.
    I lost my 90 hour save file cause it decided to crash during a save.
    And even though there are 10 slots, it corrupted the entire thing

    They took out some of the best iconic parts. Such as vegeta and android hand tearing part and iconic speech on fear, vegeta final flash on cell, bubbles and Gregory on king Kaiser planet, so much dialogue during fight against cell, missed out on the ginyus attacking goku and missing and so on. Very annoying.disappointing.

    Best DBZ game i ever played, it fixed plot holes and goes deeper into the story than any other dbz game ever has. The controls are simple and fun and a great way to introduce people who are new to the series.

    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.
