One Piece Odyssey Reviews
“One Piece Odyssey” is an RPG made for “One Piece” fans. While you will get a lot of enjoyment out of it even if you don’t know much about the series plot due to its retrospective nature, it is better suited for those who either want to get into the franchise or remember some of its memorable set pieces. And, even if you don’t end up enjoying the plot, the combat – although easy – will keep you going due to its dynamic nature and amazing visuals.

It’s clear a lot of effort was taken to get this game just right, it instantly feels higher in quality compared to other One Piece games and does act as a true celebration of One Piece’s 25th anniversary. Odyssey doesn’t just feel like a generic game that’s been created with a licensed anime skin thrown on top like we’ve seen many times in the past with other anime titles. It’s apparent a lot of care was taken across it’s 5 year development time to make sure the game was fun to play, filled with great characters and is enjoyable for players whether they’re existing fans of One Piece or if they’re jumping into the game because they love JRPGs that take players on grand adventures.
One Piece Odyssey is Bandai Namco’s first great game in 2023 and a title in which fans of Eiichiro Oda’s work have placed great confidence, and in general terms, I think they will not be disappointed. In command of this new adventure for Luffy and his friends is the hand of ILCA, who had already done a great job with Dragon Quest 11, a game that draws a lot from it in all the right aspects.
While One Piece Odessey might not be for everyone, it had its hooks on me. The gameplay is fun but can sometimes be repetitive, and there are times when I wanted more variety, but the story was solid, and that's what kept me coming back.
One Piece Odyssey is a very good transfer of the anime in the field of gaming and especially in the genre of turn-based RPGs.

Odyssey adapts in a great way the Turn-based mechanics of Persona for a franchise that is known for its bombastic action. Some side quests can feel quite repetitive as the game progresses, but is a must for every One Piece RPG fan.

Games based on anime are notorious for two things: being arena fighter Musou games and retreading the source material. So when Bandai Namco announced that the new One Piece game would be a full-fledged JRPG with an original story written by Eiichiro Oda himself, it sparked interest throughout the entire fandom. Thankfully, developer ILCA has largely managed to deliver an engaging adventure for fans and JRPG enthusiasts alike. Despite some rough edges, One Piece Odyssey stands out as one of the best games based on an anime in recent memory.
Die-hard One Piece fans will be able to appreciate the game as an interactive reminiscence of its arcs with minor redesigns. Yet, those looking for a bold and unique game may need to look elsewhere.
One Piece Odyssey was a blast to play. It felt like I could watch a new adventure of One Piece unfold right before my eyes. The way everything was set up and played out was a great experience. The pricing here is set in the right spot since, as of writing this review, it’s still relatively new. The Steam cost of Odyssey was $60, but I could see the price dropping to $50 easily in the future. $60 isn’t a bad price for the game right now, as I’m having much fun with it. For anyone wishing to buy One Piece Odyssey, happy travels, and may your pirating adventure await you!
One Piece Odyssey is a fun game, especially for fans of the series, as there are little nods everywhere that can put a smile on that fan’s face.
ILCA's turn-based experience comes with a different twist, but Luffy's pirate adventure is definitely not for everyone, with a few minor hiccups. While one can easily discern the passion and the vision of the team, more or less the repetitiveness of the game with its missions, the non-existent difficulty beyond the basic bosses, combined with the over-reliance on nostalgia, results in a mediocre experience that often tends to be tedious and appeals mainly to those who already love the popular Shōnen series.

The Straw Hat Waford Odyssey is one of the best games in the franchise. It has easily avoidable flaws but, overall, we have a complete, long, pampered and interesting adventure, especially for fans of the adventures of Luffy and company.

One Piece Odyssey is the best One Piece game to date. It’s full of depth, substance, style, and even offers something different to the genre. Everything comes together in a well presented and structured end product that is surprisingly enjoyable from start to finish. 2023 has started with a big surprise and one that’s a perfect fit for this enduring world.
Despite having a story that beats around the bush, One Piece Odyssey has a lot to offer. With an arduous combat system and engaging equipment system, this game tries to bring new flavors to the RPG genre. We highly recommend JRPG players try One Piece Odyssey, or else you'll be missing out.
One Piece Odyssey is a Turn-Based JRPG in which the Strawhats encounter a new island. Arriving at Waford, the Strawhats lose their powers and must endure their own memories to regain them.

One Piece Odyssey has a powerful story that fans and newcomers will easily resonate with. On the gameplay side, unfortunately, you'll run into many issues that hinder your enjoyment of the game, such as the lack of clarity in quests or getting lost on the map.

One Piece Odyssey manages to bring together the best of both worlds: a wonderful exploration experience through the most important anime's settings, as well as a very well-developed combat experience. The difficulty level is quite low, allowing anyone interested to finish the game without any difficulty. However, I can't recommend the game to anyone looking to get to know the world of One Piece, since the "flashback" moments are very confusing and in some cases completely distorted or poorly explained . For true fans of the series, if you can accept these aspects, you will get the most out of the experience, just like I did!

One Piece Odyssey shows more style than substance but in the right direction. A direction that I would like them to return with a bolder and cooler way than a beaten past that everyone insists on repeating.

One Piece Odyssey is the best One Piece game I have played and it successfully presents the features of the JRPG genre to the player. The game misses the chance of getting better scores because of problems with story tempo and pointless stories that are stretched out in vain.

Despite some of my personal gripes, One Piece Odyssey is a solid JRPG experience starring the beloved characters of the series. Its decision to retread familiar arcs despite having an original story can be tolerated and may even be a reason for newcomers to try out the anime/manga. By shifting to a JRPG, One Piece Odyssey provides players with a new way to interact with the Straw Hats, and even employs some nice strategic elements during battles that highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each character.
