There has been many Dragon ball games that came out over the years, either retelling the original story or telling it's original own thing, but Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot does storytelling the best. It also remembers some older characters from Goku's original journey as a kid, and it gives some memorable versions of iconic scenes from both the anime and manga.
On Switch, it runs pretty dang well, it mostly ran pretty well with the exception of one time, where 3 Gokus were doing Kamehamehas and a Spirit Bomb at the same time, it froze up just for a sec, but it was still a blast going through it. It's a bit fuzzy but it's not that noticeable once you get into playing more. The only gripe for this version is that the loading times could stretch a little when traveling to different areas, but it's certainly not a deal breaker.
The gameplay is pretty solid but also simple. Attacking is one button, Ki is another, and dodging and blocking, that's all you need to know while fighting, and of course theirs transformations and skills that you can unlock here, either by leveling up or by doing some training fights. Some of the main fights could be extremely fun to get into as well, as certain scenes can play out like how they did in the anime. The other cool thing is the World Map, iconic locations from Dragon Ball are mostly all here, and they're fun to explore in...oh that's right there's a little but of an open world feeling here too! Just flying around, collecting orbs or doing sidequests are a fun little diversion for a while, and they're not required for the main story.
Cyberconnect did a great job with the cutscenes here, giving that extra oomph that we all know them for doing, and on top of that they have the classic music that plays, though it would have been nice to get a couple Bruce Falconer osts in here too!
If you're a Dragon Ball fan and want to revisit the world of Z, this is an easy recommendation, go throw some Galick Guns and hit a Super Kamikaze Attack while you're playing too!
