Platinumed in around 35 hours.

I wasn't expecting to love Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot as much as I did. I'd heard mixed reception going in, and I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was a modern rendition of all 3 Legacy of Goku games fused into one beautiful gem. The cutscenes are gorgeous, there's plenty of niche references that only diehard fans will recognize, and the combat met my expectations. Does it drag at times? Sure, but if you love this series as much as I do then you won't be able to help but adore this.

Pros:
Faithful adaptation of Z.
Combat is easy to understand, but not too simple.
Plenty of fanservice.
Visuals are nice, as is the OST.
RPG elements are a fun addition.

Cons:
Sidequests are a little too repetitive.
Random battles are repetitive.

90/100.
