This game is literally just Yakuza: DBZ edition.

Ok, but for real Kakarot was an incredible game. Arguably the best Dragon Ball Z game I've ever played. Yeah it tells the same old story we've experienced time and time again, but it does it in the most fresh and complete way to date. Kakarot does a perfect job of adapting the DBZ story from start to finish and captures all the most iconic moments with gorgeously animated cut-scenes. The combat, the boss fights, the music etc. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about Kakarot and even just flying around the world collecting things and doing side quests was very immersive and though the side quests are typical 'go here, collect item/fight thing' they're totally worth doing just for all the character interactions especially the ones with characters you hardly ever (or even never) saw in Z. If you're even somewhat a fan of Dragon Ball Z and its characters and world I strongly recommend it because I'd say it's the best way to experience this story and world outside of the anime.
