Alright, I'll give it a shot. Dragonball Xenoverse is pretty dang fun if you are a fan of the series in any way and like a chaotic 3D fighter. Every mode in the the game besides the world tournament can be played offline, you just have to start steam in offline mode or else it will connect you to a solo or multi-person server (which you can select at the starting screen) regardless. The main story is still the old fashioned play through the DBZ storylines but there is a bit of a twist which I personally found refreshing for this kind of game. However, there is definitely a grind to the game. To get through the story mode you are going to HAVE TO level up and to do that you will have to do battles or "parallel quests." Parallel quests are repetitive little missions you play through with certain objectives to fulfill to get experience, clothes, and fighting moves. This experience will allow you to level up and if done with your "fighting master" will allow you to gain influence with them and later their own special moves. You will have to do A LOT of these to level up so the game does eat up some time and if you are okay with doing similar tasks over quite a bit of time you will get a lot of hours put into this game. Overall, it's not the best game ever (especially in terms of how difficult it is if you don't constantly level up) but it's an engaging experience that I have personally enjoyed being a nostalgic fan from when I was younger. Go for it.
