Other criticisms I heard that the power dynamics make no sense, and the character’s solution to getting stronger is only achieving a new transformation. The game supposedly encourages exploring by setting a bunch of orbs everywhere in the world, but there is literally no reason to run around gathering orbs one by one when you can get so many by fighting and a stupid amount by wishing them, since gathering the dragon balls isn't hard and only has a 20 minute cooldown. In the past, difficulty meant that the enemy would be able to land more combos and had some kind of modifier making them deal more damage and/or take less damage, meaning the fight was even in terms of mechanics**, but it would take more EFFORT from the player to defeat the enemy. You can disagree, but no name calling or insults.

After teasing the addition of additional story mode campaigns, Bandai Namco has officially released the first episode of downloadable content for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, which sees the addition of content based on the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods film. I think it was very repetitive and there weren't a lot options in the game unlike this game, games like the Budokai tenkaichi series,Raging Blast series and Xenoverse series had a lot of options and people enjoyed them a lot. A game based on what is essentially a fighting anime being a massive letdown in the fight department is ironic, and sad if I'm being honest.
