I didn't go into the game having super high expectations, but I also expected more than what it had to offer. Making a claim that we can \"play the show\" means more than complicated progression systems and an open environment. It also means more than hitting the basic plot points. Where the title truly shines in its cinematic qualities. It's gorgeously animated and shows a lot of passion. The flip side of that coin is that gameplay feels passionless. It feels as if developers were trying to improve things that didn't need improvement. All the mechanics for leveling don't feel needed at all. The world is what deserved \"complication,\" not the mechanics. What made previous DBZ RPGs so successful was the focus on story-telling. The Legacy of Goku series is still one of the best franchise RPGs you can play because they kept mechanics straightforward and created an excellent environment for telling these stories. What I enjoyed was minimal compared to the game's content, so it does not come with a high recommendation. But if you're a hardcore DBZ fan like I am, you'll still manage to find some entertainment in the game. Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is not the best love letter written to fans, but it's still a love letter nonetheless.","2025-01-15T06:26:58.23083-05:00",{"id":836,"logo":847,"name":848,"slug":849,"tags":42,"bluesky":26,"twitter":850,"youtube":851,"facebook":852,"mastodon":26,"muckrack":26,"claimed_at":26,"description":853,"website_url":854,"score_format":49,"average_score":50,"default_timezone":51,"last_review_date":855,"stats_updated_at":856,"headquarters_city":26,"news_editor_email":26,"platforms_covered":26,"claimed_by_user_id":26,"reviews_this_month":17,"active_authors_count":857,"headquarters_country":26,"reviews_editor_email":26,"editor_in_chief_email":26,"published_authors_count":31,"published_reviews_count":858},"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FHardcore-Gamer-Logo.jpg","Hardcore Gamer ","hardcore-gamer","HardcoreGamer","HardcoreGamerVideo","Hardcore-Gamer","Follow us for the latest and greatest in video game news, previews, reviews and more.

I, like many Dragon Ball fans, first started watching the show in my early adolescence, and its resurgence in recent years with movies and a brand new animated series and manga adaptation has been heartwarming to see.

It is truly a fantastic time to be a Dragon Ball fan, and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot promises to bring the world of Dragon Ball to life, with huge, open environments reminiscent of Akira Toriyama's genre-defining series, dozens of recognisable characters, and the frantic action you want from anything Dragon Ball. In many ways, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot delivers on its promises, but it falls flat in a bunch of others.
