DRAGON BALL Z: KAKAROT

KAKAROT mixes open world exploring with action fights, so you get bursts of activity between stretches of story. Those long scenes can leave you pedaling through a lot of sitting still.

Gameplay

The fights are fun and give you plenty to focus on, while exploring keeps things from becoming one long string of battles. But the story has lengthy cutscenes and slower stretches, which can make your workout feel stop and start.

Category Score: 2 out of 3

Treadmill and Bike Compatibility

Full controller support makes it easy to play without reaching for a keyboard or mouse. Combat needs some timing and attention, so it is a better fit for a bike or a careful walking pace than a hard run.

Category Score: 2 out of 3

Computer Requirements

The minimum specs call for a GeForce GTX 750 Ti or Radeon HD 7950, along with 4 GB of memory and 36 GB of storage. That is an older dedicated graphics card, not integrated graphics, but it is still a modest requirement.

Category Score: 2 out of 3

Conclusion and Score

KAKAROT gives you lively fights and a lot of Dragon Ball Z story, with downtime between the action. It works best for a steady bike session where you can focus during fights and keep moving through the cutscenes.

Overall Score: 2 out of 3
