One Piece Odyssey Reviews
One Piece Odyssey is a slog to play, with horrendous pacing and progression issues destroying what little good can be found in the story and combat.
One Piece Odyssey fails to captilize on a strong IP, telling neither an interesting original story nor adapting the manga into a fun game.
ONE PIECE ODYSSEY - Reunion of Memories is a listless appendix to say the least. Net of interesting narrative premises at first glance, the DLC proved to be disappointing in every respect: an already superfluous and forgettable plot is in this case aggravated by the total removal of the exploratory component, which on balance translates into an extremely linear and boring experience, and by the exasperating recycling of settings and bosses already proposed by the main game.

One Piece Odyssey captures the visual style and whimsy of the original material but stumbles at turning it into an engaging RPG.
One Piece Odyssey suffers from many different issues such as unbalanced Checkpoint system, open world structure and sporadic technical issues. That being said, story and characters are interesting and if you are a fan of One piece franchise, you will have a good time playing One Piece Odyssey.

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.
Some publications call One Piece Odyssey the best One Piece game ever made. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the best anime game ever made. That’s not saying much in a consistently underwhelming subgenre, though. The long wait to get to the meat of the story and a genuine challenge makes it difficult to recommend to others, even fans.
One Piece Odyssey is a slice of fan service that is easy to recommend for die-hard fans. As a game detached from its brand, it doesn’t bring anything new or exciting to turn-based combat. From the story's perspective, the plot was straightforward to predict and quickly left my mind as soon as it entered.
One Piece Odyssey unfortunately fits the "it takes twenty hours to get good" shoe. I find it difficult to recommend it to those who aren't already fans of the series, and not just because it's a mostly bland RPG.
If the trailers successfully convinced you that One Piece Odyssey is of a scale of something like Dragon Quest, then you've been fooled. What we have here is just another mid-budget title that is aimed at the fans of the original One Piece manga and anime. This time with a jRPG coat of paint.

One Piece Odyssey might appeal to long time fans of Luffy and co, but the glacial pace really drags it down.
One Piece Odyssey could've been one of the best anime game adaptations to date, but it failed painfully in providing a competent narrative separate from the original story. Thankfully the game offers well-crafted gameplay elements that make it worthy of being recommended to at least One Piece fans.
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.

A stunning One Piece game great for fans and JRPG newbies, but one that won't satisfy hardened min-maxers.
For fans of the One Piece manga and anime, One Piece Odyssey may be worth investing in. However, it may not be the best game for those who are not familiar with the source material or are looking for a more challenging turn-based RPG. The game is relatively easy and assumes that players have a certain level of knowledge about One Piece.
One piece Odyssey celebrates 25 years of the anime by providing a game with gameplay that is at times just as old. The turnbased fights have some interesting new elements, but outside the fights a lot feels oldfashioned. Quests lack a sense of progress, no fast travel during quests and the use of savepoints make this game feel like it hasn't progressed beyond a few decades ago. Fortunately, the anime itself is brilliant and makes you eager to go watch it right after you close the game.

One Piece Odyssey has all the heart of the original manga and tells an enjoyable storyline filled with interesting "what ifs" but is far too easy and often simple to the point of detriment.
ONE PIECE ODYSSEY does an excellent job of transporting players back in time for epic fights, while beginners may struggle to keep up with the story's rapid pace from the very start. Although it shows promise, the game falls short as a quality role-playing game.
