Lim and Adio seem to want to help you get your powers back, but you get to learn about why they are on the island and how they ended up there. The giant cubes, however, require the Straw Hats to go back and relive their memories in order for them to absorb the knowledge inside these mysterious cubes. There are four Colossus on the island, all harboring giant cubes that require the gang to beat them in order to grab them.

Now the One Piece cast needs to find these cubes that Lim put their powers in order to gain their strength back. Starting a JRPG from level one is very common, and ultimately it works with the narrative well. Lim immediately removes your powers, resorting Luffy and the gang to becoming level-one versions of themselves.

After fighting one of the island’s mysterious colossi protecting it from intruders, they meet Lim and Adio.

With some quick thinking and maneuvering from the pirates, they land on the island with the only casualty being their ship, Thousand Sunny. One Piece Odyssey starts with the Straw Hats stranded on a mysterious island, as they are traversing in the ocean. I don’t hate that there is not much of a challenge in a lot of the combat, especially in the later half of the game when you get access to some serious special attacks. Sadly the min-max type gameplay One Piece Odyssey encourages makes what is a relatively easy game, almost laughable in difficulty. All this creativity on setups gives me a love for finding different ways to make specific strategies overpowered. You can have a range of strategies and parties with the Straw Hats crew as the focus. The characters lean themselves well to a JRPG setting, and system. Using One Piece Odyssey as a framework for a JRPG of the One Piece cast was a masterful idea. Platform(s): PS4,PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X (Reviewed), PC Other games I have tried of One Piece all felt a little thin in terms of how it dealt with the characters. I love the cast and the world of One Piece, so getting a game that gives us more time with the Straw Hats and immersing ourselves in the world is something I have wanted for a while. Knowing it was focusing itself as a turn-based JRPG, I got excited. Luckily ILCA gave us a dev diary soon after that detailed more information. The graphics looked great, and we got only a few details of the characters. We got told it was an RPG with a story told by Oda. After the first initial trailer of One Piece Odyssey, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
