When it comes to playing through the game itself, it's also a very much different experience than fans who have tried out previous games might expect. The new additions to the lore also feel like they slot right into the main manga series, and even could tease some bigger things to come if these ties ever get explored outside of One Piece Odyssey. It's a pretty neat way to not only make sure to cover famous moments from the series like One Piece games in the past, but there's a fun twist to each of them. The experience is then broken up into Luffy and the Straw Hats needing to dive into the world of Memoria to explore various set pieces from their memories (such as the Alabasta, Water Seven, Marineford arcs and more) in order to get strong enough to take on elemental guardians across the island. It's here where the game's story ties into the actual gameplay itself as it's how Luffy and the others have to essentially work their way back up and regain all of the powers that they had developed before coming to the island. Upon meeting a young girl name Lim, it's revealed that her special ability can remove the memories of others and store them within cubes.

One Piece Odyssey explores a new story set some time after the events of the Dressrosa arc as Luffy and the Straw Hats end up crash landing on the mysterious island of Waford. There are some issues that role-playing game veterans might have some quarrel with, but it's an experience One Piece fans should check out. Covering a bit of older ground, offering some new experiences that help to further flesh out the franchise's story as a whole, and all the while presenting it with the highest quality presentation that we have ever gotten. One Piece Odyssey goes for a completely different kind of experience than any of the other One Piece games have done in the past.

It's always felt like 'one piece' of the experience has been missing from each attempt, but that's all changed with One Piece Odyssey. It's been an admittedly tough road in this regard for fans of the series as there have been a lot of games that have come close, but nothing has quite managed to stick the landing.

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece is one of the longest running action anime and manga franchises out there today, and as a result there have been plenty of video games that have taken their shot at capturing the manga fans feel from these original releases.
