For an open world game this feels more like a tech demo with just some stuff rammed into it so its not completely bare. you only have one kind of tree and one kind of grass spread around the map. the only part that feels a bit more alive is steel city and even there it feels empty. The "World" The world, while beautifully rendered is completely empty, no animals, no significant things to discover, mostly nothing. For an open I dont like this game but i like lists: 1.

This is a half decent One Piece game but needed some more polishing before release. The only pros I can think of are the way you travel the map is fun, the skill tree is a good way to reward progress, and the story is really interesting. They are not playable or able to join you on any of your missions. Luffy's crew are reduced to a support cast that either offer cooking or crafting and the rest are either seen just standing around or in cutscenes. The bosses don't fare any better as they really require no strategy other than block their attacks, then counter with your own, repeat steps til the boss' health is depleted. The missions and combat are really repetitive and the enemy AI doesn't seem to do much but take their beatings, which consisted of me just mashing 1 button. I wish they would have given us a way to sail to other islands by using the Thousand Sunny and letting us have ship combat with navy or other pirate ships. Giving fans an open world One Piece game is a great idea but the open world feels so lifeless and empty that it is kind of boring. The missions and combat are really repetitive and the This game is a good idea but had poor execution. This game is a good idea but had poor execution. The market is getting pretty crowded with those two game types. It's honestly nice to get a game which looks so good and that isn't another warriors game or an arena fighter. 30 dollars is pretty good, but if you see it for 20 in the future that would be a great deal in my opinion.
Overall this is a solid game for one piece fans, provided you have your expectations in check and you don't pay full price.
It feels like a one piece movie at some points but it's broken up with some repetitive missions though. The story was written by Oda and it's pretty good. Unfortunately they just aren't in the game all that much. It really added a lot of charm to the story and characters like brook had me laughing quite a few times. It's really awesome having the japanese voice there. Boss fights with notable characters help break this up though and work as great fan service. Go to the place and find someone or go to the place and beat the enemies. You'll just see a few npcs standing around so it's not exactly immersive in that sense. You won't see people working in the farms or going to the shops. The island looks great but it is a bit lifeless. The combat is a mixed bag, later enemies tend to warp around you so it can be difficult to hit them so fights become a bit annoying. There are also some pretty fun moves you can unlock. Certain upgrades allow him to propel himself at greater distances and they make him less noticeable to enemies so he no longer gets sniped out of the air. I also found traversal was a lot of fun particularly as I upgraded Luffy. The art style is really quite excellent and looks very impressive at times. I had low expectations going in but this turned out to be a surprisingly fun game.
