WithDragon Ball Z: Kakarotstill fresh from its launch a couple of weeks ago, the popular YouTube channel Honest Trailers has stepped in to give its take on the anime-turned-video game. In the case ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarot, fans can look forward to the usual extreme sarcasm of Honest Trailers making fun of the game’s more disliked features.
DBZ: Kakarotitself is a pretty deep dive into theDragon Ball Zanime, adapting almost the entirety of the show into the game in a way that theDragon Ballgames haven’t really done before. Of course, when it comes to honest trailers, every aspect of the media being “reviewed” is fair game to be verbally skewered.

Getting into specifics, Honest Trailers turned a few parts of the game into the butt of its jokes, from its anime-to-animation issues to its dissatisfactory power levels, repetitive target deaths, role-playing elements, and built-in subsystems. The Honest Trailer ended withKakarot’s open-worldbeing compared to the video gameSuperman 64, which isn’t flattering, to say the least.Superman 64is widely considered to be one of the worst games of all time, which is an impressive feat in a strange way.DBZ: Kakarotdidn’t have a bad reception when it launched; instead, overall, its reception thus far has beenfairly mixed amongKakarot’s reviewers.
Many reviewers have praised the story ofKakarot, which is the same well-loved story from the anime, while simultaneously criticizing the game’s RPG elements–clearly, Honest Trailers really did notice a couple of flaws. Meanwhile, the game’s fanbase seems enthusiastic, having found plenty of reasons to appreciate what the game does well (and many are already speculating over what will come next forKakarotand any potential DLC). But of course, Honest Trailers will poke fun at lots of games or movies regardless of whether they’ve been judged to be “good” or “bad,” so it’s not always about that, and thus began the Honest Trailers roast ofDragon Ball Z: Kakarot.
Either way, the trailer certainly hasn’t interfered withDBZ: Kakarot’s success; those who enjoy the game remain hard at work, uncoveringDragon Balleaster eggsand eagerly devouring everything the game has to offer.
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarotis available to play for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
