ONE PIECE World Seeker Reviews
It is about time we had a proper open world One Piece game but unfortunately, it is not without its faults. The open world feels barren, the combat is lackluster, stealth badly implemented and the mission design is repetitive. The game can still be plenty of fun especially the traversal, and it looks gorgeous in motion.
One Piece: World Seeker is an incredibly ambitious game, and one that I have an immense amount of respect for, even if I personally did not enjoy it.
One Piece: World Seeker tells a good story but is ruined by poor gameplay. Exploring the open-world is extremely dull and meaningless.

One Piece: World Seeker is a shallow open world action game saved only by its nice art direction and technical achievements.

A good game for One Piece hardcore fans, but with repetetive gameplay and not much variety. An approach to the open worlds mechanics that's simply too old.

One Piece: World Seeker features impressively rewarding exploration that'll have you immersed in its beautiful and expansive world.
One Piece: World Seeker isn’t the most inventive open world game out there. It’s not the biggest or the most varied in terms of mission design and structure. But it is a delight to play, thanks in part to its wonderful characters, well-written story and absolutely stunning-looking world.
One Piece: World Seeker is a mediocre open-world game in One Piece franchise. The story is interesting and has the unique one-piece feeling in it. The game also has good graphics and features fun movement system inspired. Despite all this, the missions and overall experience of the game get repetitive and boring very fast which is not acceptable for a 60$ game. The game will be enjoyable for One Piece fans but I recommend other players to wait for a good discount to test this game.

One Piece fans will be able to overlook World Seeker's issues, but those not as big on the series won't miss much by skipping this title.
Although it's filled with annoying moments World Seeker is more fun than frustration. There are some rookie issues with it but the exploration still absolutely makes the game what it is.
Despite all that One Piece World Seeker can't do, it's still a solid B game.
One Piece: World Seeker marks an interesting foray into the open-world genre for Luffy, borrowing familiar sandbox mechanics from games like Spider-Man and the Arkham series. It's not as polished as those games and can be guilty of incorporating some of the more annoying and overused mechanics of the genre. The original story, however, is very much One Piece and its fun boss fights are pure, over-the-top mayhem. It's not quite Pirate King yet but has potential to be a promising series with some extra polish.
World Seeker is a praiseworthy attempt by Bandai to innovate in the games saga that One Piece. But unfortunately, Luffy's last adventure remains in the extensive field of "ahiiii almost"

One Piece fans will be satisfied with the return of classic characters and a spectacular set of moves for Luffy, but those in search of a complete, challenging open world adventure have far better options in the market.

While World Seeker falters in some aspects, great exploration and realization of the world provide for an enjoyable time for One Piece and anime fans alike.
One Piece: World Seeker is going to be adored by veterans and hardcore fans of the series, but is still quite enjoyable and easy to follow by someone that either has a casual knowledge or used to keep up with One Piece and the adventures of Luffy and his crew in the past. The game makes no effort to bring you up to speed with the story so far, character relationships or telling you why you should care about Luffy and the other members of the Straw Hats so I probably wouldn’t recommend this as a jumping on point for someone with zero familiarity with the One Piece universe just based on the fact you wouldn’t get the complete sense of enjoyment that someone with knowledge of the series would.
While players who are unfamiliar with the franchise may be rather bored and find it lackluster, at least at first (it does pick up a bit further in), fans of the series should find quite a bit to enjoy within the game.
One Piece: World Seeker is by far the best the series has been in game form. Combat feels good even if it is one note. The world is simply stunning to traverse through and the story and characters really carried me through to the end. I wish it was more fleshed out in terms of variety. One Piece continues to be a series I have an affinity for even without ever having experienced the anime, which means I will most likely be on-board for whatever comes next.
With One Piece: World Seeker it feels like we are finally getting higher quality licensed anime games, but it still has a way to go to be truly incredible or essential, even for fans of the series. Still, if you want to run and rocket with Luffy and the crew, this is a great place to do so.
It was almost inevitable that One Piece World Seeker would have some faults, but it's hard not to love the game regardless of them.
