One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Reviews
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a game with good ideas that unfortunately fails to capture the essence of the original anime with its monotonous gameplay and concepts executed in a way that leaves much to be desired.

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows delivers style over substance. It’s a casual adventure/fighting game where chaos and spectacle take precedence over deep and strategic combat.
One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows may please some fans of the overpowered warrior, but the repetitive campaign missions, formulaic fighting mechanics, and underwhelming presentation will limit the appeal of this fighting game.
To that end, it's more charitable to see One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows as more of a Hero Association RPG than a fully qualified fighting game. You won't be seeing it on the main stage at EVO anytime soon, but you can at least have a fun few hours raising your own hero.
The main problem with One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is that it just isn’t fun to play. It doesn’t retain the show’s charm because it completely misses the mark when it comes to its tone and setting. One Punch Man is all about how dumb the Hero Association’s bureaucracy is and you’re basically forced to climb the same ladder the show constantly made fun of. It is also a show about how boring Saitama’s life is due to the fact he’s so overpowered and that is visible whenever you’re actually able to play as him for the mere seconds he’s onscreen.
One Punch Man is a game filled with interesting ideas, but the execution left a lot to be desired and at the end feels like another cheap anime cash-in by Bandai Namco

There’s a respectable degree of fanservice here, but little to see for casual fans. The silver-lining is in the anime aesthetics, which make the game worth a second glance for those on the fence.
Although it's super clunky and very unpolished, there's a weird charm to One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. It may not satisfy brawler aficionados or hardcore OPM fanatics, but it should amuse those who want to experience life as a flamboyant superhero.
One Punch Man’s first foray into video games is a mostly fun experience. The customisation options featured in One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows allow you to create some truly wacky fighters that no matter how strange, would probably fit right in with the OPM universe. It’s definitely a game that will resonate more with existing fans of the anime or manga series, as it’s issues do hold it back from being highly recommendable to those that aren’t. I’m excited to see where Spike Chunsoft might evolve and take the series next after enhancing what already worked here and taking on player feedback.
Despite flashy visuals and a relatively entertaining story mode, One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows's fighting mechanics are shallow and unsatisfying.
Unfortunately, we are facing a completely forgettable game. With a story mode that has many pacing problems, the experience becomes annoying really fast. It may be enjoyed by anime fans.

ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS is fun to play, but is no match when compared to other fighting games in this genre. Gameplay mechanics are neither deep enough nor matched together the way they should, and the final product seems underdeveloped.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a treat for fans who just want to be a hero for fun and beat the living daylights out of some villains.
...for those like myself who don’t know much about this world, I’d say it won’t pack enough punch for you to commit.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows lets players have access to the signature world of Saitama with solid combat and character designs but ends up lacking in many areas.
If you are madly in love with the series starring Saitama, you will have several tasks to perform in the world created by ONE, coming from the homonymous city. Between fights with known monsters and fetch quests, you will feel at home and ready to accompany Saitama in training to become the most powerful hero in the world (however, I do not advise you to cross your own path). A less successful entry while playing in general but with a lot of lore to entertain fans, which simply does not justify an AAA PVP.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a great idea with some fun combat that is bogged down by repetitive and dull missions that lock the best content away.
This game is a short and sweet reminder of why the One Punch Man IP is so popular, but there’s a lot left to be desired. A more refined combat system and a longer campaign would serve this title well. As it stands, the $60 price tag is far from worth it. If you love Saitama as I do, check this one out. If you’re a casual fan, give a few months to go on sale.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows might have a potential to be a fun adaptation of one the most unique animes, but in its current state it is nothing more than a mixed bag of fun ideas and annoying technical problems.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows falls terribly short in almost every aspect. While the premise works well in the world of Anime, it does not translate well to the format of Gaming. A combination of lackluster gameplay, woeful voice-acting and a story as bland as they come, even die-hard fans of the series would be doing themselves a favour in avoiding this one at all costs.
