Wholeheartedly recommend this game to Dragon Ball and fighting game fans alike. Fantastic visuals, with simple- yet nuanced- gameplay that caters to casual and competitive players alike. Overall, I have enjoyed the online experience. Matchmaking doesn't take too long and frame delay (for me at least) has often been negligible. Top-tiers are prevalent in Ranked, but for the most part, the entire roster is viable in capable/dedicated hands. Sadly, ragequits are frequent and there isn't any meaningful penalty for them, but at least you get a lot of screenshot trophies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With regards to the single-player offline experience: AI difficulty is similar to that of ArcSys's Guilty Gear games, where the CPU's damage/meter gain (among other things) is substantially increased. Whether that kind of a challenge is worth tackling is really up to the player, I suppose. The story mode is not the greatest, to say the least, but as a fan you may at least appreciate a lot of the character interactions throughout the campaign.

All-in-all, the game is incredible. It's fun, fast-paced and stylish, with a great attention to detail in characters' movesets and dialogue (intros, mid-fight, and victory screens). Online is easy to jump into, and the game still has plenty of players in Ranked and Casual. For absolutely gravely seriously competitive players, the frequency of ragequits may honestly ruin Ranked play, so keep that in mind. If you're in it for single-player/offline only, I believe the quality/production value of the game alone will give you your money's worth. If you're a fighting game enthusiast, DBFZ is a must for your library.
