This is a game that made me somewhat interested in trying traditional fighting games rather than just platform fighting games, ala Smash Brothers. I usually don't like them, as the concept of having to hold "Backwards" (Which is also an accurate, though confusing, way of putting it) counter intuitive, though FighterZ has opened my eyes to see just how the system works and how well it works, with it's many mix-up options, such as high and low attacks and having to hold forward and backwards.

The controls are simple enough that they don't require too much practice to be able to pull attacks off. You won't find any attacks that require you to go "Up up down down-forward forward backwards forwards high punch" here. It's usually a quarter circle movement, and one of the attack buttons, 3 of which will do nearly the same attack with different properties, and one of which is usually a special attack. Each character is different however, resulting in the characters not feeling the same at all, which a lot of other fighting games can tend to feel.

The graphics are absolutely stunning. They are not realistic, as they shouldn't be, but they get almost every single detail down. You can find videos on YouTube that show what each attack is a reference too, but it's not simply service to the fans. It's how the character would fight. It's how they do fight in the Manga/Anime. The shading and effects and animations are amazing, but they don't put the graphics before performance. I was running it at max settings with a GTX 760, a much older card that doesn't have that much power, and very rarely did it drop beneath a constant 60 FPS, at 2K resolution, so the game is also very well optimized.

If you like fighting games but not so much DB, you'll more than likely like FighterZ. There's enough to it that a non DB fan might like it.
If you like DB, but maybe don't like normal fighting games, you may still like FighterZ. It's simple enough to learn, but hard to master. If not, you'll know if you don't like it within 2 hours, and can refund it.
