As a long-time One Piece fan, I am thrilled with One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4. The story goes all the way to Big Mom Arc and in just under 20 hours you get the main points of the story. The fighting system remains true to a Musou game. You fight your way through a level with a pirate of your choice and defeat several thousand enemies. The special abilities available to you are the graphic highlight. Each character has four attacks typical for the series. Also the innovation with the shield bars and the giant enemies brings fresh wind into the series. Unfortunately, the biggest criticism is the long waiting time for the loading screens. This aspect takes so much dynamic out of the game that it sometimes seems frustrating. Also the level of difficulty is not really demanding. At the highest of the three levels, there are isolated sections where you have to take more care. All in all One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is the best part of the series. If you have fun in the One Piece universe and own a console or PC, the title is an absolute must buy.

It’s crazy to fathom that a Musou game is far better than it has any right to be in this day and age of more complex action game experiences. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 makes itself approachable and worth sticking with for the long haul thanks to an incredible use of its source material, a huge cast of characters to master and the type of mission structure that offers tons of fun in small/large doses.

The best way to describe One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is the best version you could hope for. Regardless of where story and gameplay lack, it's impossible to cover anything, especially when there will be more in the future and a lot of the faults are a result of this being a Dynasty Warrior game. If you can get past that, this is a wonderful tribute to One Piece and allows some of the latest and most expressive arcs shine. At least enough to think it is worth considering.

Although it doesn't try to do something as radical as World Seeker, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is arguably just as great by sticking to the satisfying Warriors gameplay loop. One Piece fans will adore it even with its condensed story-telling, but it's also great for people with a casual interest in the series. It's easily the strongest title in the series so far, and a great bit of mindless fun in the wonderful One Piece world.

A let down it is that Omega Force couldn't dedicate as much time to the visuals as they have done the source material, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is still the kind of game — the kind of Musou too — that seemingly does the unthinkable in providing a ludicrous-yet-fulfilling action game regardless of its depth.

Making a mistake on a crossover between the Warriors franchise and one of the most iconic animes of all time is almost impossible and One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 shows why. The action in the battlefield is extremely fun, the bigger focus on certain arcs of the story is welcomed and the experience as a whole brings hours of great fun, even if it stumbles on its localization in portuguese.

Despite the lackluster amount of story arcs and some of the weird story and character cuts, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is still one of the best One Piece games that you can play today. Different and fun gameplay systems, an overwhelming amount of playable characters, some really good music tracks and detailed levels, have made Pirate Warriors 4 a must-have game for a long time One Piece or Musou fans. Even if you are not familiar with the source material and you are just looking for a fun action game, there is a good chance that you'll end up enjoying this game.
