The Dragon Ball Z series has had a lot of video game adaptations, like a lot, alot. While they span various genres, most tend to take the form of some kind of fighting game, which makes perfect sense given the source material. During my childhood, I grew up with the Budokai games and absolutely adored them, but deep down, what I truly yearned for was a game that allowed me to freely explore the expansive world of Dragon Ball.
The Legacy of Goku 2 partially satisfied this craving and is still one of my favourite dragon ball z games of all time. However, it was somewhat constrained by the limitations of the hardware. And then there was Saga's, which turned out to be a big pile of disappointment and empty promises.
Then in 2020, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot made its debut on eighth-generation consoles and PC. Developed by CyberConnect 2, it looked like it was finally going to deliver on the promises made by Sagas 15 years prior.
In early 2023 a PS5 version became available and that is the version I will be playing for this retrospective.

I think about this a lot but I think this game should have had more development time to include OG dragon ball. This way you could start out with running and the nimbus as your only means of transportation. And then by the time goku learns to fly in the series, that unlocks your ability to fly.

Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is the best game I've ever played. I'm so glad that this game changed my life and made me a Dragon Ball fan. If I didn't play this game, I would never discover this exiting world of Dragon Ball.

P.S: Most of people in my country probably don't know what Dragon Ball is, but for some reason Bandai Namco decided to make subtitles for my country anyway.

That’s great to hear! Dragon ball games on the PS2 were crucial to my life long fandom of the franchise so I’m glad to hear the modern games are doing the same thing for others!

Covering arcs of Kakarot in a video for each arc would be super interesting. Also, if you do cover the Namek saga one thing that I just couldn't get over was how the game lets the Ginyu force sort of die after you fight them with Goku instead of letting Vegeta kill them like the anime. Between that and the lack of a final flash or super trunks cinematic, it felt like they cut corners on iconic moments to streamline the story. I can kind of see why, but Toriyama's writing style has a lot of beloved moments that are ultimately not crucial for the plot to move forward so that's a lot of stuff to ignore.

This game was a nice batch of fresh air. And great idea to cover each arc as there own video.

They were definitely teasing that idea by including Kid Goku in the latest DLC. I'd like to think they wouldn't go out of their way to model him just for that one fight.

I live for these retrospectives on DBZ; Hidden. I actually have fell asleep watching them almost an hour in but that’s more than likely a combination of your warm and relaxing voice (with some great humour) and the fact I’ve been super exhausted over the last couple of days 😂 you’re awesome ❤️

I feel like Kakarot has a lot of potential that you can build off of. But something tells me that the sequel, if there ever is one, will probably just be the same thing again like XV2

Your review of the game is Excellent. It's currently still my favorite video game despite that the game isn't fully open world but am glad that most of the explorable areas are big enough to make look as though the game is fully open world. I got that game on launch day at my local Walmart store while in my Goku cosplay costume. For a game that's named after Goku's birth name' the game has us play as Gohan the most in the main story. The one being the narrator in this video review did a pretty good job and like it.

There's a lot to be desired with the combat in this game, but they 100% nailed the visuals and recreating moments with the game's animation. It was a good idea for you to split this up into videos covering each arc allowing you to dive deep, looking forward to the next one.

43:30 I remember Kami permanently removed Goku's tail at one point, like he cauterized it with an energy beam after it was yanked off. Before he did that, Goku's tail also regrew randomly for plot reasons in the middle of a fight too. Piccolo I guess plotwise never knew Goku's and Gohan's tails can regrow.

A lot of the RPG bits just don't work well in this game or work well with the story of dragon ball. The combat and moving around the world felt awesome though and it's probably the best telling of the dragon ball story in video game format I've played. A really good game for fans of the franchise. I love your videos!

@freezasama5802 9 ай бұрын

DBZ Kakarot is a great game but has many issues such that the cinematics aren't utilised to the full extent unlike budokai 1 which managed to tell more of the story in a shorter amount of battles, also the fighting mechanics of dbz Kakarot are very similar to Xenoverse 2 but more repetitive making the 3D style of gameplay better in the budokai tenkaichi games, however the game is a great run through the story of dbz in the game which is really fun my only gripe is they should've brought back the Z voice actors for the game as not only do they have more experience they also voiced the characters in Z since the game is called DBZ Kakarot and NOT dbz kai kakarot

I really didn't like Xenoverse much ESPECIALLY when they made me play 2 rounds of a dpsht trading card game in the story, I just quit right there. This looked like more xenoverse with stupid uninteresting minigames so I never picked it up
