Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2

What it’s like

Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 is a sprawling, fan-service-heavy action RPG that prioritizes power fantasy and customization over narrative depth. The experience centers on creating a unique warrior and navigating a hub city to undertake missions that revisit iconic moments from the Dragon Ball timeline. Combat is fast-paced, aerial, and deeply mechanical, rewarding mastery of ki blasts, flight, and combo chains. The game’s greatest strength lies in its sheer volume: hundreds of hours of content, extensive character creation tools, and a robust multiplayer system that allows players to team up or battle others online. While the story serves as a framework for nostalgia rather than literary merit, the atmosphere captures the series' energetic spirit perfectly. It is less about exploring a living world and more about engaging with a vast library of movesets and cosmetic options.

Keep in mind The single-player campaign can feel repetitive due to its mission-based structure, and online matchmaking often suffers from lag or imbalanced matches. Non-fans will find little reason to engage with the dense lore references and anime-specific humor.
