The value story

The value story

Across all 51 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 67 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $14.99 at 25 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Its score sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games closest to it, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($29.99, scores 76) and Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition ($4.49, scores 58) both come in lower.

$29.63 is where it would stop being a BANGER.

What players say

I regret 100% completing this game, but for all the right reasons. I wish I could experience it all from the begining again. TL/DR; Scream, Get strong, nearly die, get strong, scream, friend dies, scream some more, beat bad guy - Now in and HD Open world format. 9/10 As with most DBZ games at this point, the base game covers the "Main 4" sagas - Saiyan - Frieza - Cell - Buu.

pretty fun good cutscenes and cool open world. the RR soldiers that randomly spawn are really annoying tho. 10/10 experience

Attempted to play the HD version on Steam Deck. Got to the point where young Gohan takes over as Nappa and Vegeta during the Saiyan Saga and FPS dropped down to 15-20 and I can't figure out if its a hardware issue or software issue. I tried troubleshooting, but there are no issues with my Steam Deck. I'd switch to the SD version, but there isnt a way to transfer data and I've already put 8.5 hours in.
