What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in July 2022. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 7 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $14.99 at 25 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 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 ($29.99, scores 49) both come in lower.
$29.63 is where it would stop being a BANGER. Today it is $14.99.
The press gave it 73; the people who bought it give it 93 percent. A 20-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 1,683 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
While it is not a direct substitute, this game is undoubtedly the best experience available for fully reliving the story of Dragon Ball Z in a video game It is certainly true that the gameplay becomes excessively repetitive around the ten-hour mark, but the boss battles feature their own specific gimmicks and unique sequences, making them a visual treat Although the world exploration feels a bit odd, it remains the...
Someone told me to buy this instead of sparking zero and to whoever told me to do it thank you for making me witness this absolute cinema gameplay, graphics and story
Played it on release, didn't feel like it was great but figured I'd come back a little while later. As a fan of Dragonball games, this is one of the worst made for combat and diversity. They reuse voice lines too much. The combat is unbalanced, they skip/brush past story points. The upgrade system is tedious and boring. Go play Xenoverse or Budokai Tenkaichi, the other thing this game does well is show impact...
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT scores 90/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/851850/dragon-ball-z-kakarotThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
