On the eve of the launch of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, first reviews of the game appeared on the web. Did CyberConnect2 deliver and met the expectations of anime and action RPG fans? According to the reviews, we have a good, but a little underdeveloped title on our hands, faithfully reproducing the adventures of Goku, Vegeta and other characters known from Akira Toriyama's saga.

Nintendo Life: 7 / 10 by Trent Cannon

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot might not do much more than retelling the story of Dragon Ball, but it does that well enough that existing fans will find joy in exploring the world and fighting iconic villains from the franchise. Despite the lack of depth to its combat and a minor internet-based technical inconvenience to work around, the game saves itself by expanding on the already massive amount of Dragon Ball lore available and giving fans the slice-of-life moments we've so sorely needed. Non-fans won't find much to love here, but it's a more than serviceable retelling of an iconic story.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a nostalgia-fueled retelling of the Z Fighters' adventures that is brimming with content... it's just really boring.

  • Annoying Encounters: Random enemy encounters can be frustrating, interrupting exploration and leading to tedious grinding.
  • Control Issues: Some s report difficulties with controls, particularly for keyboard and mouse setups, and express a desire for better customization options.

  • Expanded RPG Elements: Some reviews mention a desire for deeper RPG mechanics, such as more intricate character development and progression systems.
  • More Engaging Side Quests: While side quests exist, many players feel they are not as fleshed out or engaging as the main story, and they desire more meaningful content outside of the primary narrative.
  • Improved Exploration: s express that the open-world experience could benefit from more interactive elements and less frequent enemy encounters that disrupt exploration.

Summary
