A familiar experience if you played Budokai games back in the day. It's nostalgic fun through the several campaigns. The What If episodes are (for the most part) highly entertaining and the fanservice is on point.
Music, artstyle, gameplay, are highlights.
Now, the difficulty. Some fights are easy enough during the campaign, but there are several difficulty spikes that I can understand a lot of people may not enjoy or have the time for. This game really wants people to learn the mechanics and "git gud", which for some people is not worth the hassle or the money, totally understandable (Ape Vegeta was a wall, but there's fights in campaigns like Frieza's or Goku Black, that are way tougher).
There are a few gameplay hiccups, nothing too major, but supers sometimes don't work if you're in the middle of a combo.
The worst part I'd say is the online, I had no interest in it to begin with, but It was taking a while, and when I did, it didn't feel smooth. I only did a few matches and gave up, just my personal experience on it, can't comment much, take it as it is.
Overall, It's a great Fighting DBZ game, lot of options for campaigns, tounaments, gameplay is solid fun from the Budokai Series. It's a good return, expensive but worth it for any dbz fan with time and patience to learn or relearn the mechanics.
