One Piece Odyssey is out now on PS5 and PS4, bringing the ultra-popular manga and anime series to Sony's systems as a turn-based RPG. Obviously, existing fans are the target audience here — but in its accessible mechanics and eternally entertaining characters, we dare say that One Piece newbies might want to check it out as well.
We gave the game a great 8/10 in our One Piece Odyssey PS5 review, likening it to the superb Dragon Quest XI. "No matter whether you're a hardcore One Piece fan or a complete newcomer, One Piece Odyssey is an utter joy of a JRPG. Its combat system remains incredibly enjoyable throughout, and new mechanics provide depth and strategy in droves. Most certainly the highlight of the experience, but with fun exploration to boot, you're always assured of a good time," we concluded.
But have you snapped up a copy of One Piece Odyssey? Are you a fan of Luffy and the gang? Have your say in our polls, and then set sail in the comments section below.

Not really any right answers for me in the poll so I'll write them in:
You already know. We are ready for this...odyssey....
"Yo-Ho-Ho-Ho!"
I'll get the game down the road but I don't really know much about the anime.
Played the demo and kinda liked it. Feels sweet and lovely, might give it a try a bit later.
But have to finish Midnight Suns, play Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi 2, FF16 and Diablo... Perhaps, afterwards. Or even in between.
I'm a fan of one piece. Need to catch up in anime as stopped watching after 900 episodes 😅 and dragon quest . I'll probably buy it but the story been told before in a lot of the mosou style games. Probably wait til it's in the sale as skint lol
I know stuff all about the anime, but Liam’s review has got me interested. Might wait a bit and see if an English dub is patched in, but it’s definitely on my radar. A good game is a good game, if you like the genre, it’s a win!
Not yet but i do plan on buying it.one piece odyssey demo is excellent.word up son
I will not be buying it, but I hope it does well because it seems to be a good, well made game from Bamco.
I am familiar with the property and its immense popularity world wide, at least everywhere bar the States, thus, I think it will be a massive hit for Bamco.
I was hoping the game would have a more involving combat system
If I ever actually sink into One Piece, I’ll probably play this at that point, but I’m also like 10-ish years behind on the series. I liked the first season anyway!
I like and play all good jRPGs, One Piece or not.
Pre ordered the game, but i didn't watch the anime.
Edit: A bit of a dilemma. The game is super easy, so not sure if i should wait for a patch adding hard mode or not...
Not yet but will definitely get it as soon as I can. There's just too much competition fighting for my time and money
And I adore One Piece. Or rather I adore pre timeskip OP. The more recent arcs have been enjoyable to read again. But the start of the timeskip up to Dressrosa was a massive slog to get through
Yes! Preorder... fan since a kid, and already hooked on the game. Turn-based jRPG fun 👍
But made this my handheld game, so got it for my SteamDeck (working perfectly so far on High/11W-TDP) was also cheaper at $42.
Great game to play before Forspoken on PS5... good times for RPGs in general.
It’s looking more and more likely that I’m going to end up buying it. I was planning to play Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, but there are issues with the PS5 upgrade, so I might play this instead.
im not familiar with the anime, but its my type of game.
i see it coming to plus before i get to it
I luv being in the majority.
The only one piece I know of is the one I slip into on the weekends.
I’m gonna try out the demo this weekend. Looking forward to see how it is. If I like what I play then I’ll buy it for sure.
32% have no interest in One Piece AND don’t know what One Piece is? Why’d you click on the article/poll then? Haha.
Anyway I’m hyped for release day! Should be a fun, relaxing jrpg!
it's not for me I don't think. I've tried one piece but it's never charmed me like I know it has a lot of people. reviews seem to be decently positive for an anime game though so I'm happy for the people who are fans
I like how they took DQ10 as a template and put there on spin on the battle system.
Not yet, but will get a copy when price drops below 40€, physical of course.
Mine won’t come until tomorrow 😭😭😭😭 so pumped to play it though. I’m gonna have a SUUUUUPER time when it arrives 😎
I'd like to know a bit about the anime before I play the game. I know its literally the biggest commitment there is to get into One Piece but... 😅
Sooner or later I'll get around to it!
Bought my digital copy today! Don't know anything about One Piece but living the game
I've never watched the anime, but bought it based on the Push Square review - as a big jrpg fan I'm really enjoying it so far! As mentioned earlier though, so far it's been extremely easy - hopefully some harder difficulty settings can be patched in at some point.
I brought it for my wife. She and my daughter are huge fans.
I would not mind playing, but it should have had an english voice track. (Granted i did play Persona 5 in Japanese)
I know there's a group of people who prefer Japanese voices in games that originate from Japan, I'm not one of them.
I've never seen One Piece but this game is appealing to me as a grand, traditional JRPG. I haven't really been into anime for a while though, especially not Shonen Jump-type stuff.
I'll keep an eye on this and if there's a gap in games I want to play I'll check it out.
@RudeAnimat0r Awesome! I love the show but I think the appeal is super broad: A fun pirate adventure story with great characters, locations and cool designs. I expect it'll be a fun and light-hearted game for all fans of jrpgs
>I don't even know what One Piece is
As a huge One Piece fan, I have to point out that its author, Eiichiro Oda, is the 9th best selling author of all time. Anyway, One Piece Odyssey is great. Kind of soups up here and there, like how it skips through the Rainbase part, but it's still the best anime licensed game I've played.
Type of game I might get on sale down the road
I’ve seen enough ONE PIECE to know that I hate it and the characters are pretty poorly thought out. I genuinely don’t understand how ONE PIECE has a following, much less a giant one.
So a game is a huge no no for me.
@johnny30 I'm also behind on the anime, but you're alot further ahead than me! I stopped near the beginning of Fishsman island arc, on Episode 528.
Tempted to re-watch all 528 episodes before I continue, it's been 5+ years since I last watched.
@DrVenture69 Sadly very unlikely that Bandai Namco will include English voices later. We haven't had an One Piece console game with dub voices since the mid 2000s.
An option missing for me 😞
Currently in the process of catching up to the point where the game supposedly takes place so that I don't get spoiled for the arcs and characters it contains.
Only ~500 episodes to go...I'll be done in time for Christmas xD
We need more turn based games like this one. I'll buy not because of the anime but for the game itself that is very well made and deserves our support.
I thought well just buy it digital. I dont really need this physical and i like the demo.
Then i saw the digital pricings.
100euro for the digital collecters edition?
70 for the normal edition?
No. Just no.
I played the demo and I found it dreadful. I love RPGs but not this type. Think you have to be a fan of this type of game
Thanks @KidBoruto, I’ll have a bit of reading to do then 😃
Love the anime but struggle with subs so unless they get funimation or sum1 else 2 do English dub I will not be bothering which is a shame as it looks really cool wish them success 😀 👍
@DrVenture69 Hope you enjoy! I won't be buying this until I see a sale for $20 USD or cheaper.
24% don't know One Piece? Major cap
@DrVenture69
One Piece x english dub brings back bad memories 😂
