    I wanted to like this game, but I found myself falling asleep between fight/cut scenes. Very, very slow starting the information is not that complicated to warrant the slow approach to the simplistic controls. I just feel it’s too late in the franchise for this, the retelling of the same story yet again for the 24th time. I know this content too well to be exited for what comes next. II wanted to like this game, but I found myself falling asleep between fight/cut scenes. Very, very slow starting the information is not that complicated to warrant the slow approach to the simplistic controls. I just feel it’s too late in the franchise for this, the retelling of the same story yet again for the 24th time. I know this content too well to be exited for what comes next. I KNOW what’ll happen. The gameplay is fun, if only there was more fighting. The enemies in the open world hardly put up more then 50 seconds of fight, and that’s being generous. That coupled with the main fights being easier than they should be just kills the small uplifting moment before the droning storyline, single sentence button tapping dialogue advancement continues. Having an open world, world map and an odd skill tree doesn’t constitute the RPG tag line here.
    Insanely let down. This was marketed as something it clearly is not.
    But hey, if you’re just getting into DBZ this game will fill you in on it’s long, long past, which is worth it for new comers.    … Expand

    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 game is basically a childhood dream fulfilled. Free roaming and flying around the world of Dragon Ball with lots of different characters. Combat is fun and flashy, like a better version of Xenoverse. The game looks great and the controls are good. Best Dragon Ball game so far!

    It’s a beautiful Dragon Ball Z game! Such a great nostalgia trip for any fan. The fighting part is great, fun and challenging. It’s a different game... while not perfect it’s a dream game for someone that has loved dragon ball for decades

    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.    Absolutely BEAUTIFUL GAME.

While too simple in some ways(empty scenarios, not much to do), It's unnecessary complex in some other ways, they tried to compensate filling it with things like the "badges with characters faces" system or collecting random objects. The game forces the player to do boring things to continue the story, they increase the duration of the game in the cheapest possible way.… Expand

If you love Dragonball Z like I do this game will give you all those feelings you had when you used to sit watching it. When the intro kicked in it was like going back to my childhood and reliving the series again. Nothing can beat the feeling of pure nostalgia and cyberconnect2 have done an awesome job, you can really tell a lot of love went into making this game.

    Graphics: bright and beautiful, character models look good as do environments. they might not blow you away but there's definitely a lot of detail and effort put in here.

    Audio: Classic soundtrack and original cast voices what else would a DBZ fan want?

    Gameplay: Although quite a bit of fighting takes place, being an rpg there are lots of other things to do which will make any DBZ fan smile, Anyone who has played previous Cyberconnect2 games will know how much content some of their games have. The fighting feels good and pretty satisfying and levelling up character moves etc is enjoyable. I had fun just wondering around each area exploring and seeing how much effort went in to each place you'd see in the anime or manga.

    The only reason I haven't given a 10 is because I believe there's always room for improvement.. but being a huge dragon ball fan this has definitely fulfilled everything I would want from a game. What dragon ball fan wouldn't want to step into Gokus, and other characters boots and explore the vast world of DragonBall Kakarot.

    Thank you Cyberconnect you've done a great Job!.    … Expand

    It's everything you've already done before. It's just Xenoverse with extra bits. Combat is still terrible, tutorials gloss over everything and there's no real fun.
    Grind for orbs, grind normal mobs, grind animals... grind grind... then fight a few battles in the saga. Fighting is dodge dodge dodge dodge (get some hits in) and repeat. It's just terrible.

    It has enough filler to make Bleach, Naruto and One Piece blush but those are just bad, first one is finding a porn mag. There isn't enough personality here to make it a DBZ game worthy of any praise. And the RPG parts aren't well done, and try to do too much without achieving anything...

    buy persona 5. enjoy. if you already have it and beat it several times. Do it again... royal is just around the corner    … Expand

    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.
