One Piece: World Seeker

It looks great and the story is decent, but One Piece World Seeker's 20 hours of one-note combat and repetitive, misleading quests aren't worth suffering through.

World Seeker lacks the detail of contemporary open-world games, but moving around and getting into fights is fun. The story and characters (new and old alike) are engaging all the way to the explosive finale

One Piece: World Seeker tells a surprisingly well-realized story that fans of the series are sure to enjoy, but only if they can make it through repetitive and frustrating gameplay. The talented voice cast and bright, popping visuals are a treat, but it does little to revolutionize the open-world adventure genre. If you aren't a fan of the source material, World Seeker is hard to recommend, but lovers of the Straw Hat pirates will find an enjoyable story buried under a lot of mundane gameplay.

One Piece: World Seeker is an unfinished game. Its open world is shockingly barren, its gameplay is clearly undercooked, and its presentation is placeholder. Eventually, Luffy's skill tree does allow for a little more fun, but the title still ends up feeling like an in-house development build that's used for playtesting, not a full price retail release. As a One Piece game it's bad enough, but as an open world title in 2019, it's borderline unacceptable.

Fans of the One Piece anime and manga will probably find more to enjoy in the World Seeker experience than most gamers. Once you get past the pretty surface, you’ll find that there isn’t much below it. The story is middling, lacking the excitement and action you would expect from a property like One Piece.

With One Piece: World Seeker it feels like we are finally getting higher quality licensed anime games, but it still has a way to go to be truly incredible or essential, even for fans of the series. Still, if you want to run and rocket with Luffy and the crew, this is a great place to do so.

Despite all that One Piece World Seeker can't do, it's still a solid B game.

The best part of the game is the story itself, which you will have to wander in about twenty hours. So if you do not mind worse dueling system and constant travel for the task here and there, when you feel like a messenger, so is the game for you as a do. One Piece: World Seeker delivers a great anime experience, but the rest of the game's content drags down under the water, where Luffy can hardly save it. The game takes recommendations for four points out of ten.

One Piece: World Seeker is beautiful. The characters, their actions, and reactions are what one One Piece fan expects and the story maintains its connection to the series. But gameplay has its drawbacks. The creators haven't been able to incorporate the features of the series as they should. All in all, this game can be fun for One Piece fans, but those who aren't familiar with the series may not be able to communicate well with it.

One Piece: World Seeker is lacking in so many areas. It may be lovely to look at, but an overall shallow and repetitive experience take away any semblance of joy fans are likely to find.
