Xenoverse 2 is one of those games that are still supported today rather than making a proper sequel. It also has way more characters than Budokai Tenkaichi 3 as of the Super Hero dlc pack (which is has yet to be released as of this writing). Making characters is as fun as you'd expect, shaping them as you'd see fit. Though one of the drawbacks of this game is that its very grind heavy. So if you want a specific skill or costume, expect to keep replaying the same missions over and over until you actually get it.
One other is transformations lean heavily towards saiyan characters. I mean I guess it makes sense since Goku and Vegeta has utilized every transformation available to that race? Given, other races still have access to their own unique transformations (though some drastically changes your moveset so using them depends on your playstyle), but I feel like the ones that are used universally are potential unleashed (the transformation that's used mainly by Gohan and as of recent, Piccolo) and kaioken. But lets be honest, everyone wants to at least use Ultra Instinct.
Gameplay wise, its almost the same song and dance as the first Xenoverse. The main difference probably being the way super saiyan works. Instead of draining your ki until you revert back, it stays on and upgrades on its own depending on your ki. So your saiyan will probably achieve SSJ3 by the time you get the quest from Vegeta. Story however is ever expanding thanks to the countless dlc Bandai Namco keeps releasing. As well as numerous characters spanning from movies, filler episodes (no Garlic jr though. not like anyone cares about him), to GT, and Super. Besides Z characters of course. Coop can be pretty fun and can potentially speed up the farming process since there will be someone in the party that can one shot the enemies.
The game overall is pretty fun, but that fun is probably limited to fans of Dragonball. The game continues to be updated and dlc is still being released for this game. Despite the game originally being from 2016. Combat can be monotonous, but depends on how you see that. If you're used to how things were in Budokai Tenkaichi 3, then you'll probably like this game. Plus the addition of being able to make your own character is always fun.
