What is DRAGON BALL Xenoverse 2?

The wait is over. It's time to fight!
Become a Time Patroller in order to preserve DRAGON BALL's history in this unprecedented experience.

You are the protagonist! Stand with Goku and his friends as you battle a new enemy that has been warping DRAGON BALL's history. Fight alongside famous fighters from Z, Super, GT, and more, including movie-only characters like Turles, Broly, and Janemba, the mysterious Masked Saiyan, and many others.

Create your own warrior avatar from one of DRAGON BALL's 5 races. Everything from your race, gender, build, and face can be customized down to the smallest detail. Each race has its own special transformative Awoken Skill, including Super Saiyan 3 for Saiyans and turning giant for Namekkians. Get ready to recreate yourself and dive into the world of DRAGON BALL.
The setting for this adventure is Conton City, where time patrollers come from far and wide. Here you can communicate with other players from around the world, fly through the air, enjoy PvP combat, and team up in groups of 6 to tackle powerful raid bosses.
DRAGON BALL Xenoverse 2 also contains many opportunities to talk with characters from the animated series. You can join Frieza's army, rescue Namekkians, learn new moves directly from Goku and his friends at Time Patrol Academy... All sorts of new opportunities await you in the world of DRAGON BALL.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was a massive game on other platforms and is even bigger on the Switch. The visual downgrades were expected, but the removal of the gray filter present on other platforms actually makes the Switch version look better overall, in this scribe's opinion at least. 
The brilliantly rendered cutscenes, deep character customisation and fine-tuned fighting mechanics make for a title that is easy to pick up but hard to put down. This is another case of a game that makes one wonder just how much developers can do with Nintendo's diminutive console. Fans of fighting games and Dragon Ball alike should look forward to picking this one up.

I was a big Dragon Ball fan for many years, so I expected I would enjoy Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Unfortunately, it just didn't click with me. I find traversal and identification of objectives to be needlessly complicated and confusing. Combat doesn't feel quite right. Frankly, it's overwhelming. The game might appeal to the truly hardcore DB fans, but I am apparently not one of them.
