    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is one of those excellent Nintendo Switch conversions. Its artwork, along with the soundtrack and sound effects, transport the player to the fantastic universe of the Z Fighters and gives them freedom to experience it outside of combat through a fun gameplay. In the end, Kakarot is a gift to longtime Dragon Ball fans and an excellent first entry to anyone willing to meet the franchise.

    Overall, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a highly entertaining game that’s faithful to the franchise. It accurately depicts the nostalgic events of the series’ earlier stories, and the gameplay engages the player while doing so.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot was a gorgeous game on other platforms and one of the better Dragon Ball games when it launched a little while ago. It's great to see it translate so well to Nintendo's hybrid system in a better-than-expected conversion that includes new features, and some DLC right from the get go.

    The full, compact story, an equally complete cast of memorable characters and an abundance of opportunities to unleash our Kamehameha, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a title that players should not miss. Despite some inconsistencies in gameplay and poor development decisions, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot brings forth the nostalgia and glory of Goku’s saga, leaving only a sweet sense behind.

    In the epic battle between the forces of bad Switch ports and great Switch ports, Goku and his friends take the size of the good guys, with this game being a great port of a good game with loads of extra content and good performance on Nintendo's small hybrid console.

    While its game world is not as fully explored as in other JRPGs, what we have here is a real work of fan service, topped off with praiseworthy graphics and art style, and a fantastic audio work. All this might not be enough to convince those who are not keen on Dragon Ball, but its fans will be delighted with Kakarot.

    Someone's bound to get a DBZ action/adventure game right one of these days, but unfortunately this one's a few Dragon Balls short of summoning Shenron, if you know what I mean. [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 68]

Com certeza um dos jogos mais competentes e bem otimizados do Nintendo Switch. Ele usa tudo o que o Switch tem a disposição em questão de hardware sem avacalhar com a gameplay como é o caso de outros jogos da Bandai Namco (My Hero One Justice 2). Com certeza valeu a pena a espera, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot criou padrões a serem seguidos de o quão bom um jogo pode ser no Nintendo Switch.… Expand

    Thus, Bandai Namco and the developers from CyberConnect2 created a playful and comprehensive title for newcomers and especially for fans ofThus, Bandai Namco and the developers from CyberConnect2 created a playful and comprehensive title for newcomers and especially for fans of the series with the new version of "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot". The storyline with the numerous characters and pretty cutscenes is neatly told and provides good entertainment for the most part. The excitingly staged battles are always a joy thanks to the simple controls and only gradually become rather one-sided. In addition, the various approaches in the course of the game, such as cooking and hunting, cut a good figure and loosen up the gameplay enormously. The implementation for the Nintendo Switch is also really fun and the new content is also convincing. Those who would like to have another interesting game of the well-known series should definitely take a closer look at "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" for the Nintendo console.… Expand
