Round-up of reviews for the popular PC fighting game
Having set the record for the most concurrent players for a PC fighting game, Dragon Ball FighterZ has had a pretty impressive start since launching last week.
Hitting a peak of 44,234 players - the highest of any fighting game on Steam - veterans and newcomers to the genre have clearly had fun picking up the game and taking on AI and fellow players in 3v3 arcade-style combat. The game, developed by Arc System Works and published by Bandai Namco, brings players back to close-quarter battles, compared to other Dragon Ball games like Xenoverse, with 2.5D design to give it an authentic anime presence.
With a campaign split into three sagas, and a number of multiplayer options both online and offline, there's plenty to choose from with Dragon Ball FighterZ. We've put together some of the reviews from the past few days to give you an idea on what people think of the game.
