You’ll soak up epic and light-hearted story events, unearth plenty of Dragon Ball Z Lore, and even build relationships with other characters as you live, fish, fly, eat, and train as Goku. There’s backstories that weren’t featured in the manga, and if you fly high enough, you’ll be able to view the world map. How cool is that?
