I’ve played almost every Dragon Ball game since the PlayStation 2 days—some great, some forgettable—but Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot did something most of them never really tried: it gave me time to slow down and actually live inside the DBZ universe. This isn’t just another fighting game. It’s part RPG, part love letter, part interactive anime—and honestly? It kind of rules. Yes, Kakarot retells the entire Dragon Ball Z saga—from Raditz’s arrival to Majin Buu’s final meltdown. You’ve seen this story a hundred times. But playing through it here hits different. You don’t just drop into fights—you live through the moments between them: fishing with Gohan, flying over lush landscapes on your Nimbus, visiting Capsule Corp for upgrades, and even hunting dinosaurs like it’s no big deal. There’s a surprising amount of quiet time, and that’s what makes Kakarot shine. It’s not just about punching Cell into orbit. It’s about being a dad, a farmer, a fighter—and sometimes, a bad husband (sorry, Chi-Chi). Combat is similar to arena-style brawlers like Xenoverse, but simplified. You’ve got ki blasts, melee combos, dodges, transformations, and flashy super attacks—plus dramatic finishers for boss fights that feel straight out of the anime. It’s accessible, but not without challenge. Boss fights, especially in later arcs or DLC, come with phase shifts, scripted moments, and cinematic clashes that sell the DBZ power fantasy hard. It’s not the deepest combat system—but it feels good, and when you’re blasting a Kamehameha into Perfect Cell’s smug face, that’s all that matters. Beyond fighting, you level up characters, unlock new abilities through training, collect ingredients to cook stat-boosting meals, and equip “Community Boards” that add passive buffs based on character synergy. It's not super complex, but it adds variety. Exploration is charming—zones are colorful, and flying around the open-ish world collecting Z-Orbs or finding side quests is just relaxing. Some filler missions are goofy (deliver milk, chase dinosaurs, etc.), but they ground the experience in that quirky Dragon Ball world. Also: Yes, you can spar with Yamcha. Yes, he will still lose. The cel-shaded visuals are vibrant, faithful, and expressive—easily among the best in any Dragon Ball game. Character animations are full of energy, and the cinematic cutscenes (especially for big story beats) are jaw-dropping at times. Voice acting is available in both English and Japanese, and both casts bring their A-game. Pair that with a soundtrack that channels the anime’s spirit (and even includes some original Japanese themes in the Deluxe editions), and it’s pure nostalgia. Since launch, Kakarot has added tons of DLC, including: -A New Power Awakens (Beerus, Super Saiyan God forms) -Trunks: The Warrior of Hope (a darker alternate timeline) -Bardock: Alone Against Fate -23rd World Tournament Arc (Goku vs. Piccolo Jr.) -Goku’s Next Journey (End of Z arc) These expand beyond Z and give you a peek into the Dragon Ball Super and even pre-Z lore, making the game feel like a full Dragon Ball experience, not just a Z rehash. Strengths -Fully playable, emotional retelling of DBZ’s entire story -Unique blend of fighting and RPG mechanics -Beautiful visuals and dramatic cutscenes -Tons of fan service and character moments -Strong DLC support keeps the experience fresh Weaknesses -Side quests can be repetitive or bland -Combat may feel shallow for hardcore fighting fans -World isn’t truly “open”—more segmented - Enemy AI is a bit too easy outside major boss fights Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn’t just let you relive the anime—it lets you be the anime. It focuses less on competitive mechanics and more on narrative, atmosphere, and immersion. And honestly? That’s exactly what I wanted. Whether you’re soaring through the sky, cooking fish with Gohan, or going toe-to-toe with Kid Buu in a thunderstorm of ki blasts, this game never lets you forget what made Dragon Ball Z magical in the first place. A faithful, heartfelt tribute to Dragon Ball Z, packed with style, spirit, and just enough meathead charm. It’s not the strongest fighter. But it might be the most soulful DBZ game we’ve ever had. Rating: 8/10

I've only ever watched the DBZ show once all the way through and I wanted to experience the story again, but didn't really have 117 hours to spend doing so, and even though I haven't finished it, this game has definitely scratched that itch. It's a great retelling of the story with optional side content, if you want to go deeper into it all. It's got great fighting mechanics and the open world segments are really fun. It can feel pretty repetitive at times, but so can the anime, in all honesty. Definitely worth a go if you're a DBZ fan. Not sure why you're here if you're not a DBZ fan.

It needs to be viewed from two lenses. As a JRPG, I found it very lacking. As a DBZ fan, this was a fantastic way to relive the series. Near beat-for-beat scenes, music, voice acting. Unreal 4 makes the lighting for all the beams and energy attacks appear fantastic. A lot of the plot was tightened without filler (which was great), but the game has filler in other places. I just wish they weren't mandatory. 6-7/10. Above average to pretty good. This is more of a recommendation for a fan, who would be more lenient on the issues.

Dreamed of this game since I was 9, trying to get a DBZ RPG running on a palm pilot. Its so incredibly well done, if you are a fan of DBZ this one is a must play.

Play this if you do not want to re-watch the entire DBZ series. The gameplay gets repetitive, lacks dynamic mechanics but overall is worthwhile for the steam achievements and a story recap. Buy when on sale. Kind Regards
