The titans in this game love to focus you. There could be 10 other people swarming around it and it will only want you. they turn seemingly at random, making keeping up with their nape extremely tedious. My weapons would also be slightly too weak, and would leave the titan with very little health, robbing me of a satisfying kill and wasting more of my gas and blade durability. The story is simply a retelling of the original, but with your self insert just kinda there, this is obviously the worst way to experience the story of Attack on Titan. Even if you wanted to experience like this, it only goes to Chapter 90 in the manga, or the end of season 3 in the anime, leaving the story just before the arc that would make it more like a traditional musou game.

What a disappointment. Starting this by saying I am a Dragon Ball fan, a big one. Everything about this game just feels like a chore. When you're in combat it doesn't feel like you want Dragon Ball combat to feel. Enemies constantly interrupt your combos with bursts, suddenly invincibility while they charge heavy attacks, and animations that completely break the flow of battle. This is 3 times worse when you're fighting against more than 1 enemy without supports in your party. The vehicles are horrible, both the car and the walker thing have no reason to exist when you can just fly everywhere. The time trials aren't fun. The game misses much of the nuance and detail of the original DBZ story, and they cherry on top? This game is called "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot" but you spend around 70% of the game playing literally every other character.

Let's stop pretending this game is anything more than a frustrating slog fest, designed to be played in an era where if you didn't make your game extremely difficult or super confusing, it could be beaten in an hour, and this game is exactly that. It was made to be confusing, forcing you to grind for resources to put a bomb on every wall to see if it has a secret door, and use the candle on every shrub to see if it has a secret staircase, the candle which can only be used once per screen, initially I assume that's just some sort of tech limitation, but then you get an upgrade for the candle that lets you use it an unlimited amount of times! Seriously, this game was designed to waste your time.
