Thinking About Getting The Game?
We have an in-depth spoiler-free review to help you make your decision. Personally, I am thoroughly enjoying the game. It is a gorgeous rendition and a captivating way to relive the story and explore the world of One Piece without feeling stuck in only what has happened so far. The original story really adds to the experience and lets you feel like an active part of the story rather than actively reliving reruns of it. Also, the new jokes and gags just increase my love of the franchise. I highly recommend it for fans of the series. It’s more of what you love.

For fans of RPGs and pirates who want to get into One Piece, this is a great way to get into it without being overwhelmed by the over 1000 manga chapters and anime episodes. You’ll get to know all the major characters immediately, and then get to experience major moments from the history of the series. Though some of the experiences are altered from how they happened, the game does call it out, and make it fun. It’ll likely get you to go rewatch or read the adventures for yourself later. Basically, it’s a fun game full of what makes the franchise so beloved, and it works as a great jumping point that organically catches you up on the story.
One Piece Odyssey is out now, on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC.
