The Presentation Is FantasticĪs is to be expected from CyberConnect2, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot has some fantastic presentation values.Ĭharacter models and environments are suitably impressive, but it's the particle effects from stuff like Kamehamehas and explosions that are particularly cool. One of my favourite touches is the use of original Dragon Ball tracks and sound effects. There's never really been a fully-fledged console-RPG set in the Dragon Ball universe, but with Kakarot I'm beginning to think there's a lot of potential there. It's not just the epic battles you'll be doing here, but all of the great slice-of-life stuff that makes Dragon Ball so loveable. Really Dragon Ball is all about leveling up and training, so it fits perfectly!Īs I said before, Kakarot is a massive game. It's a very different feeling type of Dragon Ball game compared to what we've seen before, but that's absolutely a good thing. Much was made before release about the fact that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a fully-fledged RPG, and I'm happy to say that so far it is absolutely living up to expectations.īoth you and your enemies deal numbered damage and level up, side-quests litter the explorable map and characters can (and should!) increase their stats by eating. Since my impressions of the first 15 hours are particularly positive, I wanted to write something up to talk about some of the things I love so far, and one thing I don't. It's a very lengthy and extensive game, and to try and rush out a definitive score so soon would be doing it, and you, a disservice. This is normally where my review would go for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, but I haven't put in enough time just yet to be able to give a fair critique.
