Cool game if you're a Dragon Ball fan. After roughly 40 hours, the game starts to feel really repetitive if you don't do any online activities and since there aren't many players around anymore, or at least not many doing online content, don't expect any real online experience. All there is after completing the main story is to do a bunch of side quests again and again, and they pretty much all feel the same after a …

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is hands down one of the absolute best games for any Dragon Ball fan. For me, the nostalgia factor is just spectacular—I used to play this on the PS4 when I was a kid, and coming back to it always brings back incredible memories. The game holds up incredibly well. Creating your own character, pulling off iconic special moves, and rewriting history in the Dragon Ball timeline is an absolute …

I will start off with the positives with the game. First the gameplay. It was fun and enjoyable experience. You can create different builds for your characters that you have created. If you want to go physical or Ki focus, the game will allow you. You can experiment with so many combinations. There was a lot to choose from. The combat was serviceable. It was repetitive, but it was satisfying seeing the damage you …

73% of the 245 Steam reviewers we collected recommend DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2. The complaint that keeps coming up: dLC is too expensive. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

EDIT: Looks like singleplayer content is still accessible if you shut off your Deck's wifi connection before launching the game, and then turning it back on after launch.

Got uber excited to show her this title and all its clunky charm. Spent ages getting to the portion of the game that unlocks Co-op quests. We can't play together. Checked in the discussions tab.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game for 100+ hours on ps4 years ago and now that i have a PC, i wanted to play it again. Bad news, it's dead. There was no one playing, i couldn't find anyone to fill a mission lobby and let me tell you, you NEED people to help you with high difficulty missions. Sadly, this game is virtually unplayable now. Save your bucks and go for something else.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is a great example of a game that has stayed alive thanks to its incredibly long post-launch support. At first, the combat system seems fairly simple, but with practice it reveals surprising depth, allowing you to chain together combos and creatively mix different special attacks. Character creation and progression are another highlight, offering plenty of customization options to match your preferred playstyle. The graphics are decent at best, but the PC version is…

So yeah, the game's fun, but not fun enough for me to get Windows 11. I don't think any game could ever be fun enough to do that.
