One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 Reviews
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is fun or not? If that's the question you're asking, the answer we have to give you is: Yes and no. The formula is pretty much the same one we're already used to, without much variation on the theme: destroy the first horde of enemies, head to zone 1, defeat the boss, and repeat everything. Despite a roster of characters as varied and vast as ever, this time Omega Force's recipe seems to have become stale, and would probably need a restyling, both in terms of gameplay and from a graphical and technical point of view. Recommended mainly to die-hard fans of the franchise, One Piece and musou.

WORTH CONSIDERING - One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 lets you live out your wildest One Piece fever dream of crushing enemies as God Usopp, but the action grows stale after short time and after awhile you realize you’d much rather just be watching the anime again for the third time.
A solid enough entry into the beat-em-up genre, but one that is only really enjoyable if you're invested in the One Piece universe.
The gameplay is fun and the combat sequences can put a smile on a player's face, not to mention the truckloads of content. At the same time, its performance is not the best and the game loses fluidity in some moments. It also suffers from a shoddy plot development, which makes it less suitable to be a good candidate for representing the animated series, and doesn't match its Warriors peers.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a huge game that allows players to relive iconic battles like never before, playing as one of the 40 plus characters. There's so much for fans and newcomers to enjoy but nothing new or special to stop the game becoming monotonous after a while. Also the same problems that I feel have plagued musou games still exist, disappointing camera control which isn't awful but can make boss battles a pain at times. The difference in difficulty between bosses and grunts is like Heaven and Earth. They are pretty much useless and wait to be killed, they just need to put up a fight.
One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 brings a lot of good additions to the franchise but it has far too many technical and camera issues to be a must play right now.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is yet another action heavy entry in the spinoff series that will provide fans of the series with a fun experience for awhile before starting to feel very monotonous as a result of the lack of anything special to set itself apart from other games in the genre.
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a crazy fighting title that will keep you and your friends entertained for a few hours. If you expect nothing more from the game than a fighting game from your favorite world, you will definitely not be disappointed. We recommend the game for 7 points out of 10, especially for fans of the series who are looking for a game for relaxing sitting with friends. If we see a sequel, maybe it will be a kind of revolution of the genre, because playing the same game for the fifth time will not be so much fun.

In the end, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a game I would recommend to One Piece or Dynasty Warriors stalwarts.
We are facing a musou of remarkable level, whose gameplay has been polished with respect to the previous Pirate Warriors. Get something as monotonous as it is to burst everything that comes before us is frantic and fun, especially the amount of combos we can do, as well as the diversity of the existing team.

The new battlefields, improved combat system, and sheer action that goes on makes it every bit as much fun to run through those battles again, and One Piece has so much character and personality that the antics of Luffy and his crew never seem to get tiring.
One Piece fans rejoice, there's a ton here to enjoy.
The game does not have anything special or unique about it except that it is set in One Piece World, but since it is an amazing world, and with the developer being able to make the fighting system fun, especially for the people watching the anime and wants to try the different abilities for each character since the game has a lot of characters, including some legendary ones.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a game that fans of the famous series will admire as it captures the feel of the iconic characters powers and fighting style. Still, it's plagued by the usual shortcomings of the musou formula.

Whether you’re a fan of Warriors games or One Piece, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is easy to recommend.
Unless a Warriors game ends up being on the poor end of the spectrum (Looking at you, Dynasty Warriors 9), summarising them is often the same across each themed release.
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.
Pirate Warriors 4 is a rich experience for One Piece's fans, but it doesn't even want to try to come up with something new for the musou genre.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 adds more to the Musou formula, giving players a chance to re-experience the familiar story while adding in original content for replayability. All that adds up to a fun way to kill some time and become King of the Pirates.
