While at the cost of not feeling as One Piece-like as the anime’s OST, if anything it made me feel like I was playing a “Tales of” game at times, having one of the best composers in the industry made for a fantastic selection of pieces that resoundingly succeed at making you feel immersed.īut beyond that, surprisingly enough, from a purely gameplay perspective the game does deliver fairly well, at least at first glance. That said, special mention needs to be given to the soundtrack, composed by legendary game composer Motoi Sakuraba. You can unlock and change to pre-timeskip looks, but that’s about it, and this is is only for battle and field, meaning that all cutscenes will still play with the same generic outfits, which absolutely overstay their welcome. Characters generally look great too, in spite of some slightly janky animations, but I have to address the Zunesha in the room: unfortunately yes, you are stuck with the ugly Fishman Island outfits for the entire game. Praise should also go to the UI and menus, which look incredibly stylish, as well as the fact that most of the game is fully voice acted by the original actors.Įnemy monsters also feature a fantastic selection of creatures from across the series, especially from Strong World, as well as even some designed by Eiichiro Oda exclusively for this game. While it may not seem at first glance, seeing it in action this is undoubtedly the most beautiful One Piece game to date, especially with its environments, which make it a joy to walk through iconic locations of the series. In case you haven’t played it, Dragon Quest XI is considered one of the best JRPGs of recent times, so there’s certainly a lot of promise for a fantastic system here.įor starters, let’s get this out of the way, much like Dragon Quest XI the game looks really gorgeous. Particularly, a lot of DNA from Dragon Quest XI can be very evidently felt, as Odyssey was developed by a team that assisted with creating that title. So essentially gameplay is split up between exploring very lineal levels and interacting with characters to advance quests and turn-based strategical combat. One Piece Odyssey stands out among previous entries, which were usually more focused on action adventure, by being a very traditional turn-based JRPG. So in the end, what is the verdict? Does Odyssey manage to deliver on the promise of being the best One Piece game ever made, especially for hardcore fans of the series like you and I? Or does it fall flat due to some poor design decisions? Let’s find out! One Piece Odyssey has finally released, and I’ve had the opportunity to play it for over 40 hours.
