Kakarot chronicles Goku’s journey from his early training and the invasion of the Saiyans, all the way to his epic confrontation with Buu (though I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dragon Ball Super featured in some way, possibly as DLC).

Fortunately, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot looks to be a more in-depth and exhaustive retelling of the classic storyline.
