A game of mixed success

DBZ: KAKAROT is a title best enjoyed as a novelty for what it is, that being an immersive action adventure title set in the Dragonball Z universe and recreating events from the manga/series. However, that doesnt mean its an unmitigated success either. This is not a true open world DBZ rpg, as it was marketed and promised to be. Rather, this is an action rpg that makes compromises at many turns. The largest compromise and most glaring fault of the game is combat. Rather than being open world action combat like it should be, the game jumps into a weird combat phase that suddenly gives you access to your fists and ki and turns the game into an arena fighter (not unlike Xenoverse).

I received this wired controller for free in exchange for writing this review. My son has just about every Mario game for the Nintendo switch so this controller, designed with the Mario character logo, was immediately loved! The controller is ergonomically designed and very comfortable to play for hours at a time. It's got a usb cord that is 10 foot long and there are no batteries to worry about. I love that this controller has a built-in audio jack so my son can play for hours without disturbing the rest of the family. My son loves this controller, and his buddies love it too!

Great controller
25 December 2022

This controller looks amazing. As a huge Mario fan this is definitely a collector for me. As I took it out the box I loved the Mario print on the controller. It's super lightweight! The buttons are smooth when playing. The material of the controller is simple. Feels just plastic. Compared to other controllers I use, this one I want to display in my clear box. I would have wanted it o feel more sturdy, this one feels more fragile. It's great controller for someone starting off. It really brings back childhood memories.

Great controller for a great price will definitely be buying more of these as the months go on. Hopefully from the same seller?
17 February 2023

This is one of my favorite controllers of ALL time. I have been playing my Switch for what seems like days and I barely ever have to charge this thing. It connects very easily once juiced up. I am absolutely buying more of these for party games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so all my friends can come over and we battle it out using these amazing controllers. Thank you, seller, you've brought a ton of joy into my life, ALSO thank you Nintendo for creating such a beautiful controller.

Great looking, light controller, perfect for my 5
27 January 2023

This is a nice looking controller, and perfect for my 5 year old to play with. He loves the Yoshi graphics on it and for the price it is great. The only thing I don’t like is that you can not turn the system on with the controller, even if it is plugged in to the system. I also was annoyed that the cord you use for the controller is a basic micro usb and not the Nintendo style cable. Minor gripes and, for the price, I can’t knock it more than a star. Of course there is also no rumble, but that should be pretty clear from the item description and I wouldn’t expect with a controller at this price point.

Great product for the price

Before I review the controller, I'll provide some context to my gaming habits to accurately reflect how this product was used and if any previous biases may exist. I mainly switch off between SSBU, BOTW and fortnite. 99% of the time that I play video games, I use a wireless pro controller while other the 1% of the time, I use the old school gamecube controllers. With that being said, I'll get into the pros and cons.Pros:- Responsive: There is no input lag. The gaming controls felt smooth and responded well in regards to what buttons were being pressed. Normally, third party companies make horrible controllers with a lot of input lag, but this one is surprisingly solid. For PvP games, this is extremely important and I noticed no issues with response time at all.- ... MoreBefore I review the controller, I'll provide some context to my gaming habits to accurately reflect how this product was used and if any previous biases may exist.

With that being said, I'll get into the pros and cons.Pros:- Responsive: There is no input lag. The gaming controls felt smooth and responded well in regards to what buttons were being pressed. Normally, third party companies make horrible controllers with a lot of input lag, but this one is surprisingly solid. For PvP games, this is extremely important and I noticed no issues with response time at all.- Design: The design layout/ ergonomic feel of the controller is the exact same as the wireless pro controller so it was easy to get accustomed to. It feels good and fits well in my hands so I can game on it comfortably for hours. As an added bonus, there is a fun and colorful Mario design on the controller as well.- Additional buttons/ paddles: This controller has additional paddles/ buttons on the backhand side. No matter how you hold the controller, those additional buttons are placed in easy to reach/ convenient locations on the controller so they add to your gaming experience to make things easier for you. The buttons work well and are easy to operate.- Mic port: The controller includes a mic port which works surprisingly well. I didnt expect for the controller to have this so this was a nice plus/ surprise.- Wired: This is both a pro and con, but in terms of the pros, this controller will never die on you. This is also most likely the reason why the controller has great responsiveness and no input lag.Cons:- Weight/ finish: This is a personal preference so it may not bothers others as much, but for me the weight of the controller and finish on the surface are issues for me. As mentioned, I'm accustomed to using a wireless pro controller so the PowerA controller is very light in comparison. It feels almost hollow on the inside which makes it extremely light. Also, the finish on the controller's surface is a smooth finish all around. The analog sticks has a hint of rubber feel for additional grip, but it still feels quite slippery.- Buttons: The button clicks are not smooth. It feels cheap and doesn't have a solid feel. The analog sticks are also stiff so for FPS games it's harder to aim on.- Wired: As mentioned before, this is both a pro and con. The cons include the inconvenience of having to plug the controller in. The wire provided is extremely long so it's not too much of an issue if you wish to sit 10 or so feet away, but it simply creates more clutter. The other con of wired controllers is that you have to play on a dock in order to use it. You can't plug it directly into the switch if you wish to take it on the go. Also, the controller has a usb port, which is a bit outdated now that everything is usb-c.All in all, I think this controller is great for the price - especially if you're a casual gamer. Most of the cons listed are personal preferences so they may not be too much of an issue for another person. Overall, since the controller is wired and the price point is less than half of the price for a pro controller, you honestly can't go wrong having the PowerA - whether it's meant as a backup controller or your main controller.

Less than a month in, and the drift is here
31 May 2021

I bought this controller about three weeks ago and I'm already having major drift issues with the left stick. I didn't even use it for the first week I had it because I was still waiting for my Switch to arrive. So two weeks of (admittedly moderate to heavy) use means that every now and then Link (BOTW) moves forward at a stumbling snail's pace instead of full speed or tries to walk towards the camera when the stick is in neutral position. I can fiddle with the stick for a minute to get it back to working for another hour or so before it starts up again.Some might argue that you get what you pay for in this controller, but I went with this controller because even the much more expensive Nintendo Pro controllers have complaints about drift issues. I figured that if ... MoreI bought this controller about three weeks ago and I'm already having major drift issues with the left stick.

I figured that if I was unlucky enough to get a problem controller, then at least I wouldn't have paid $60 or more for it. I still expected this to last at least 3-4 months.There is a two-year manufacture's warranty apparently, so I may try to work with that, but other's have complained that it's a mess of a company to work with.I will likely give this controller another go (I need to get one before the drift renders my current one unusable) just because it's a quarter of the price of the pro and I don't want to throw extra money towards a controller with similar known issues.

Very nice for a wired controller
5 December 2022

I'm very happy with the look and performance of this controller. It connected immediately to my switch and gave no issues. I mostly used this on Mario Kart. The controls worked smoothly, felt great in my hand, not bulky at all. The cord is 10 feet long, which should work for most. However, my couch was a little close and is difficult with animals, but I can't complain at all aboutbthr length. The controller also has headset input for online play, but I did not test that function.

Waste of money
30 July 2022

Followed instructions in box just to make sure I wasnt setting it up wrong. Simple plug and play controller. Well doesnt play. Doesnt work right out of the box. Tried every usb connector on switch and nothing. Waste of time, now I have to drive back to the store to return it. Thanks PowerA for wasting my afternoon. Double checked my switch system and dock for updates and both were up to date. Will never buy PowerA products again and people that ask for recomendation will hear this story from me.
