What Dragon Ball Games You Should Play
Dragon Ball games vary in quality with each one displaying unique gameplay for different gamers. The type of Dragon Ball game a player will enjoy depends on their preference.
Dragon Ball Origins and Dragon Ball Origins 2 are the best choices if you want to learn the origins of Goku. Likewise for Dragon Ball Z, the story of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot involves the entire Z Saga of Dragon Ball Z in role-playing format. The gameplay of Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 allows players to make their own character in a unique twist on the Dragon Ball story. Dragon FighterZ is for those who want a competitive 2D fighting game. In contrast, Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is for those searching for 3D arena gameplay.
Dragon Ball games continue to be released with the upcoming Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. If none of the recommended titles above appeal to you, there are more to choose from.
