One Piece: Odyssey - Collector's Edition (PC)

One Piece Odyssey bringt Fans der Vorlage endlich eine verdiente Umsetzung. Das Kampfsystem funktioniert super, die Story vereint Neues mit nostalgischen Emotionen und auch grafisch weiß es zu gefallen. Lediglich ein paar kleinere Makel halten es noch zurück, spielen sollte es aber jeder, der mit der Piratenbande etwas anfangen kann.

One Piece Odyssey erfindet nichts neu, setzt aber die Marke gekonnt in ein JRPG um. Wem One Piece nichts sagt, wird der Geschichte kaum folgen können.

One Piece Odyssey captures the visual style and whimsy of the original material but stumbles at turning it into an engaging RPG.

It nails the core cast of characters, the Memoria areas are fun to revisit, and the revelations surrounding Waford, Lim, and Adio ultimately satisfy. Of course, I can't thoroughly recommend this voyage for someone new to One Piece, but seasoned pirates will find a worthy adventure on the horizon.

It's touching to be able to revisit the people and places making up some of the series most iconic story arcs in a way that feels rich and immersive rather than skimmed-through and streamlined. Some quirks in the overworld exploration and a few combat design flaws might make this a but of an unpolished RPG on paper, but if you've spent the last two decades with Luffy and his crew, then the shine and charm of One Piece Odyssey is undeniable.

Fans of One Piece and turn-based RPG lovers alike will be more than pleased with what One Piece Odyssey has to offer. Its combat offers a great new spin on the genre’s trademark battle systems, and is far deeper than one would expect from an anime-inspired title. Even if it isn’t perfect, the game takes chances in the best way possible and could very well lay the groundwork for much more promising One Piece games in the future.
