![]() ![]() If you can stand the monotony, the credits roll in about 32-35 hours. Yea, there aren’t even minigames or anything to break up the monotony… You basically walk around and fight, and nothing else between the nearly constant dialogue interruptions. While that in and of itself wouldn’t be a problem, it wastes your time with things that simply do not pan out into anything useful in the grand scheme. The focused simplicity, once again, comes off as aiming the game towards a very young crowd as evidenced by puzzles that can be solved with your eyes closed. You really won’t be impressed with the gameplay in any aspect, especially in the face of more modern JRPGs. We’re talking linear, hall-running, corridor exploration to a painfully simple degree… so simple it includes unnecessary backtracking even in the late game. Then, we move into the exploration and it’s as draconian as it gets. To the point where more complex systems like accessory fusion are completely a waste of your time and you’ll just use accessories you find or buy. There are a few randomly inexplicable spikes in difficulty, but it really is clearly aimed at a young audience. This doesn’t stop it from working, mind you, and the combat itself works at a simple triangle level… TOO simple, in fact: there’s virtually no real difficulty and everything is a breeze as if the game is designed, dare I say it, “for kids”. For one, the combat layout of areas never really feels polished or amounts to anything other than an odd need to swap characters around. There are major issues in the gameplay department pretty early on. ![]() You really won’t be impressed with the gameplay… Sure, I might resonate with Sanji for many reasons, and you might think that I’m reviewing One Piece Odyssey just for the big boo. That, at least, gives me the necessary background to understand the characters. One Piece Odyssey launches on January 12 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.Howdy hidey ho! I’ve never played a One Piece videogame, but I’ve watched hundreds upon hundreds of One Piece anime episodes. However, the memories play out differently than they do in the original continuity, so One Piece fans who already experienced these arcs still get fresh content out of it. In the Odyssey versions of these chapters, Luffy and gang meet with familiar characters like Vivi and Ace and overcome past hardships. One Piece Odyssey features four story arcs from the manga, which Bandai Namco Europe has graciously recapped on its website for those who need a refresher: What One Piece arcs will I see in One Piece Odyssey? The game ends with a “Final Chapter” for wrapping up the loose ends of the story and sending the Straw Hats on their way. Another four of those chapters are spent on the island of Waford defeating Colossuses, the elemental guardians of the island, and figuring out how to leave it. At least four of these are dedicated to reliving four major arcs in the One Piece anime and manga series. How many chapters are in One Piece Odyssey?Īccording to trophy hunting sites like PlayStation Trophies, One Piece Odyssey has nine chapters. Some reviewers reported taking over 40 hours to complete the game.Īt this time of writing, I have completed only 20 hours of the game and don’t expect to finish until around 40 hours because I’m only halfway through the game. However, it’s very possible to take much longer than that if you’re a completionist or the kind of player that likes exploring every corner of the map. Most reviewers report taking around 30 hours to complete One Piece Odyssey, which matches the estimate that Producer Katsuaki Tsuzuki gave when talking with One More Game. ![]()
