Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot Reviews
Dragon Ball Z:Kakarot might not be "the best" Dragon Ball Z we ever played, but it's definitely one of the best of series in years. Due to tons of various contents in the game, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot can takes you to a long entertaining journey. Although it seemed extremely difficult at first, developers somehow managed to tell the story of the anime (which is extremely long) in a single game which is impressive. The only real issues with the game are lack of depth and complicity in gameplayand repetitive combat encounters. Either you are fan of series or just want to play a beautiful anime game, Dragon Ball Z:Kakarot is a good choice for you to try.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a nostalgia-fueled retelling of the Z Fighters' adventures that is brimming with content... it's just really boring.
All in all Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is an engaging and immersive experience that transports the fans back to the very beginning and for me, that came with a heavy serving of nostalgia.
This game is aimed at a particular audience, and those who get a rush of nostalgia from seeing Goku and his friends duke it out with the universe’s biggest baddies will love it. Others may need a proper introduction with the series before they soak up everything DBZ: Kakarot has to offer.
Despite the roughness that comes with some of its systems, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is one of the best Dragon Ball Z games we’ve ever seen.
Some of the content is hit or miss, but the story is told nicely throughout and ends up being an enjoyable way to relive this saga
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's emphasis on making the world and character interactions of Dragon Ball as important as the fights makes for a solid action-RPG experience.
But whether you’ve grown up with Goku and friends, or you’re a first timer who’s never fancied sitting through 300 episodes without getting to play a part in the action, this is still a great way to experience the classic story.
There’s plenty of potential in the idea behind Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, so it’s a shame that the game itself is so bogged down in fetch quests and a repetitive combat system.
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a solid action game with an enjoyable customization system and fun battles. It lacks in innovation with the story repeating events from the popular anime, but this is merely a design decision and has no bearing on the overall quality of the product.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is the best representation of the series' storyline in over twenty years of games. While animations in cutscenes may be too stiff and there are occasional bugs, the simple yet difficult to master gameplay and the sidequests that succeed in building a world we've already come to love make this a must-play Dragon Ball experience.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is not a typical game. It is first an ANIME SHOW and then a game. In other words, you will WATCH the animated series and play some parts of it, mainly during the fighting moments. It is divided into 4 sagas which cover the DBZ story from Vegeta to Majin Buu. The feeling of "playing the game" is stronger in-between the main missions when you can travel around the zones to train, collect items, do side missions, build machines, and complete achievements. To keep loyal to what DBZ is, at most part of the gameplay you will be FIGHTING. Combat controls are really simple and favorable to the use of special attacks. The RPG portion of the game looks complex at first, but as you play the game you will understand it's simple and complementary. And remember, having fun with this game is directly related to whether you like the TV show or not.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will help the newcomers to experience all of the iconic battles of the anime, or will remind old fans how great they were. However, empty open world, useless RPG elements and a bunch of unnecessary gameplay mechanics weigh this game down.

It's just not particularly interesting to play through. There's certainly some enjoyment for fans to latch onto, but it's hard to say if that's enough when the game feels skin-deep in its appeal.
A fine recreation of the story told by Akira Toriyama, but it lack the polishment and better mechanics to appeal to the non-fans.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot isn’t a particularly bad game — it’s average at worst, but it’s simply frustrating to see it miss the mark on so many things that should work in a Dragon Ball game.
Taking the concept of an open world RPG and going all out on the nostalgia, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a retelling of the iconic series.
All in all, while Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn’t really do anything new “overall”, it’s still an amazing time because of the way that everything has been put together. Those new to the series and long time fans alike have plenty to find and enjoy, as the pacing is just right to both let you relive some of the iconic fights of the series, and just live a little with your favourite characters.
Last Time on Dragon Ball Z... Kakarot
This is the best DBZ game that I've ever played and like the anime it's based on, it comes with flaws of its own. I floated in the middle when scoring this one, but rounded up because when this game hits the right notes, it hits them perfectly.
