The story of "One Piece Odyssey" has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its nostalgic elements as it revisits iconic arcs from the anime while introducing some original content. However, critics often describe the narrative as predictable and lacking depth, likening it to filler episodes rather than a compelling standalone story. The linear progression and frequent fetch quests detract from the overall experience, making it feel more like a series of recaps than a cohesive adventure, though fans of the franchise may still find enjoyment in the character interactions and familiar settings.

- “The new original story isn't that good and mainly has you revisiting past arcs with slight alterations.”
- “The story is mostly a way to recap some of the most iconic story arcs in One Piece, while feeling like something is out of place because it's all framed as playing through memories and memories are unreliable.”

- “The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is a lot of fun!”

- “The side missions are tedious, eating up your time to 100% the game—33 hours normally, 60 to get everything. Like, omg lol, get it on sale if you can.”

- “I do not know how many times I had a stupid smile on my face and laughing because the characters are themselves (no hate on the English dub, but these Japanese voice actors are on another level, and I love the cast) and the One Piece humor is there.”
