Look i put a lot of hours into this game, and the core mechanics are fun albeit simple, i'm giving it a "do not recommend" because once you're about 3/4 or more through the game it crashes every 10 minutes and becomes totally unplayable. I'm trying to close out the post game stuff and DLC and it crashes multiple times an hour. How dare they release such an unplayable game with no plans of updating or fixing it. …

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot: The Ultimate Interactive Tribute to Akira Toriyama As a lifelong Dragon Ball fan who has played everything from Budokai to Xenoverse, I can say that DBZ: Kakarot is the definitive way to experience the Z-Saga. Having 100% completed the game and unlocked every achievement, I didn’t just play through the story; I lived in that world, and the journey was nothing short of legendary. Living the …

Gameplay is probably not the best, it actually was what made me drop the game for a while, but the art style and the visuals, the particle effects, the RPG elements and flying as Goku or any of the Z Fighters around the world of dragon ball, which is very beautifully crafted and very loyal to the anime btw, are what make the game stand out. Re-living the story of Dbz, again, very loyal to the anime/manga, it was …

While it is not a direct substitute, this game is undoubtedly the best experience available for fully reliving the story of Dragon Ball Z in a video game It is certainly true that the gameplay becomes excessively repetitive around the ten-hour mark, but the boss battles feature their own specific gimmicks and unique sequences, making them a visual treat Although the world exploration feels a bit odd, it remains the …

Nostalgia Trip of a Lifetime (100% Base Game Completion Review) Just wrapped up the base game and locked down 100% of the achievements. My Steam clock shows 77.8 hours, though with some AFK time cooked into that, it’s probably closer to 70 hours of actual active gameplay. I didn't skip a thing! Cleared every single main quest, side quest, training session, and unlocked all the cooking recipes. If you grew up …

Players who liked DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT talk about beautiful graphics and faithful anime art style; those who didn't talk about combat is repetitive and lacks depth. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Kakarot received "mixed or average" reviews for the Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions and "generally favorable" reviews for the Switch and PlayStation 5 versions according to review aggregator Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received fair approval, being recommended by 54% of critics. IGN's Michael Saltzman gave Kakarot a score of 7, praising its combat and story presentation, but criticized its poor RPG elements. Kakarot was awarded 7/10 in GameSpot's review, with Heidi Kemps saying that its "modern, semi-open approach to telling the saga of DBZ - despite some minor issues - is a good one." Kemps concluded that "[i]f you're looking for an…

neutral · AI labelView post →The game is good, but it is not without some glaring flaws. I’d say only pick it up if you’re a big fan of the anime. If I had to sum up the game in a single word, it would be “consistent”. The highs are highs, but the lows are VERY low. The animations, cutscenes, and models look fantastic. The sound effects and original voice actors are all faithful to the anime. Even the story follows the anime beat for beat from the Saiyan Saga all the way through the Buu Saga (and beyond up through the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Dragon Ball Adventure I Always Wanted Many Dragon Ball games focus primarily on the fights. While combat is obviously a huge part of the franchise, there has always been much more to the series than simply watching characters throw energy blasts at each other. What makes DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT special is that it understands this perfectly. Rather than simply recreating the major battles, the game allows players to truly live in the world of Dragon Ball. You don't just experience the story…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The raw base game is "ok" for a one time playthrough and thats it. But if you want the COMPLETE insane Dragonball experience then you 100% NEED to play this game with mods (I get em from Nexus mods). The mods hard carry this game and they're pretty awesome.

neutral · AI labelView post →Kakarot feels like the manga has been adapted into a true game, it feels solid, doesn't have as much of the crappy filler, but is repetitive as all hell. For as expansive as the characters, world, skills and story is/are, the combat is extremely lacking, its just the same button mashing all the way through.

neutral · AI labelView post →They somehow added in bugs post launch that can cause your game to crash during cutscenes, dialogue, and when exiting the skill tree. I wouldn't recommend this until they fix those. Aside from that, the unskippable dialogue, and the main and side quests everywhere that are either just talking to people or collecting things massively lowers the replay value.

The world is gorgeous, the fights are cinematic, and every Kamehameha feels like you just burned calories in real life.
