    The story of "One Piece: World Seeker" has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its original narrative crafted by Eiichiro Oda, which captures the essence of the One Piece universe. However, criticisms often highlight the repetitive nature of missions, primarily consisting of fetch quests, and a lack of engaging character interactions, leading to a feeling of monotony. While some fans find the story enjoyable and fitting for the franchise, others feel it falls short of the depth and excitement found in the main series, often describing it as a filler arc.

    • “The story is cool and very One Piece-like, and it's fun to see the world.”
    • “The story is excellent, feeling just like a filler arc where the characters and environment go through development, and there is lots to choose from.”
    • “Great story for a One Piece fan.”
    • “The story feels like an anime filler; new characters aren't interesting enough, and the Straw Hats crew doesn't have enough screen time.”
    • “The story moving between quests never goes different from fetching something, finding someone, or going to a place to beat a number of enemies, eventually a boss with a high HP pool count.”
    • “The story is uninteresting with a lack of voice acting and feels like nothing but go there, beat up some people, then go here and read some dialogue with little ambience and sounds.”
  • gameplay264 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it initially slow and repetitive, particularly in combat and mission structure. While some appreciate the depth that develops later in the game and the fun movement mechanics, others criticize the clunky controls, lack of engaging combat, and tedious fetch quests. Overall, the gameplay is seen as lacking polish and variety, making it a hit-or-miss experience for players, especially those unfamiliar with the One Piece franchise.

    • “At first, the gameplay is a little slow and some of the mechanics such as getting sniped can be tedious to maneuver, but once you get enough in your skill tree, the game grows more depth in combat, feels better, and really feels like a power trip.”
    • “Luffy's abilities and combat mechanics are well-designed, providing players with a sense of being the rubber-powered pirate themselves.”
    • “The best part of the entire game is the traversal mechanics, which make great use of Luffy's powers as well as show off the fantastic animation work for Luffy himself.”
    • “Bland story, repetitive gameplay, boring combat with bad systems.”
    • “The gameplay is boring, repetitive and shallow.”
    • “Clunky combat with inconsistent enemies, uninteresting skill trees, camera controls feel off, forced motion blur with no option to disable and extremely bizarre and unfitting for Luffy stealth mechanics.”
  • graphics167 mentions

    The graphics of "One Piece: World Seeker" receive mixed reviews, with many praising the vibrant and colorful visuals that effectively capture the essence of the anime. While some players highlight the stunning art style and smooth performance, others criticize issues like frame rate drops, lack of graphical options, and inconsistent quality.

    • “Great game but the graphics are kinda terrible!”

    • “I don't know what they did to this game but my PC is running with 18 GBs of RAM, a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, and a GTX 1660 Super 6 GBs of video RAM, and I literally can't run this game with all graphic settings as low as they can possibly go in-game and I still only get maybe 40 FPS, and it drops to around 15 or lower FPS every 10-15 seconds for 3 to 4 seconds the whole time I play. They really need to fix their game; like damn, one of the worst running games I have ever tried.”
  • music65 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising the soundtrack for its authenticity and connection to the One Piece anime, while others criticize it for being repetitive and sparse, often leaving players in silence during exploration. Although the music is described as decent and fitting at times, many players feel it lacks variety and presence, detracting from the overall experience. Additionally, the option to play music from a menu is seen as a poor substitute for a more immersive in-game soundtrack.

    • “Wonderful soundtracks in One Piece style that really set the mood while playing.”
    • “As for the soundtrack, it's done by the actual composer for the anime, Kohei Tanaka, so it does a pretty good job at giving the game that authentic One Piece feel.”
    • “The music, although it cuts out and leaves you in silence once the track finishes playing, is great.”
    • “The music, although decent and very One Piece themed at times, is practically non-existent; often I'd find myself walking through the world in silence.”
    • “There's often no background music, and it somehow adds to the lifeless feel of the game world.”
  • grinding47 mentions

Many reviews highlight the excessive time required to achieve skill points and complete repetitive side quests, leading to burnout and frustration.

  • stability28 mentions

    The game's stability has been widely criticized, with players reporting frequent crashes, audio glitches, frame rate drops, and various gameplay bugs that significantly detract from the experience. While some users noted smooth performance, the overall consensus highlights a lack of optimization and persistent technical issues that hinder enjoyment, particularly for those with high-end systems. Many recommend waiting for updates or price reductions before purchasing due to these stability concerns.

    • “Runs great, super smooth.”
    • “The game maintains a consistent frame rate, making for an enjoyable experience.”
    • “I haven't encountered any crashes or bugs, which is impressive.”
    • “Every time I try to start the game, it instantly crashes unless I disengage from the program while letting it run. It only shows it in a mini screen, and every time I click on the screen, it glitches out, showing only the top right corner of the game screen before immediately crashing again.”
    • “Frame rate drops, graphical glitches, and inconsistent performance were all too common, detracting from any immersion the game could have provided.”
    • “Sometimes the sound cuts out for no reason, the game freezes, etc. Until they update the game to be more playable or lower the price, I don't recommend buying it.”
  • optimization27 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users reporting severe lag, frame rate drops, and graphical glitches that significantly detract from the gameplay experience. While a few players managed to improve performance through specific settings adjustments, the general consensus is that the game is poorly optimized for PC, leading to a frustrating experience even on decent hardware. Overall, the lack of proper optimization has left fans disappointed, especially given the game's potential.

    • “Furthermore, the game runs seamlessly, providing a consistently enjoyable experience without performance hiccups.”
    • “In summary, One Piece World Seeker successfully captures the spirit of the source material with its exceptional graphics, smooth performance, and an adventure that will delight both One Piece fans and newcomers alike.”

  • humor16 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely appreciated, with players noting its funny dialogue, amusing character interactions, and lighthearted moments throughout gameplay. Many reviews highlight the comedic elements tied to the characters, particularly the protagonist Luffy, and the quirky mechanics, such as the humorous take on the "lock on" feature. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with its combat and exploration, making it enjoyable even for those less familiar with the source material.

    • “Funny sense of humor.”
    • “When you fight your first boss battle, it teaches you about 'lock on', which is a hilarious way to say 'point the camera at the enemy, but doesn't actually lock the camera onto it.' The only thing that locks on is Luffy.”
    • “I'm not a big fan of One Piece, I only watched season 1 and only like a few characters, but I still vibe with this game because it brings a lot of humor, a nice battle system, open world exploration, and I'm excited to see what places you can visit in the further story.”
  • replayability14 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed among users. While some appreciate the beautiful world and enjoy speedrunning, many express disappointment in the limited playable characters, primarily focusing on Luffy, which diminishes the experience. The lack of diverse gameplay options and repetitive combat mechanics contribute to a perception of low replay value, despite some players finding enjoyment in the game's aesthetics and story.

    • “This game is very good as it is replayable and you won't get bored of it. The graphics and battle system are good, so overall the game would be an enjoyable experience for players.”
    • “I do not regret preordering One Piece World Seeker Deluxe Edition... totally worth it if you ever wanted an open world One Piece game with replay value.”
    • “Infinitely replayable.”
    • “Just as well, disappointingly, no other characters are playable unless you purchase the DLC add-ons.”
    • “The world is dead, fighting is limited to 5 moves plus 5 executes with gear 4th boundman form that is weaker at the point of reaching it. Moreover, DLC adds 3 more playable characters with 6-8 chapters, while the main story is only 17 chapters and boss rush is only for Luffy.”
    • “I really feel like I'm playing as Luffy. I wish other characters were playable, as well as online modes. This is the only game I wouldn't mind buying add-ons for if it came with the Straw Hat crew and missions where they are playable.”
  • emotional9 mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with some players expressing deep emotional connections and moments of joy that brought them to tears, particularly fans of One Piece.

    • “Just like I expected, but I couldn't expect someone to do something that heartwarming.”
    • “It's actually a little heartwarming and another tiny piece of One Piece storytelling.”
    • “The story is incredibly boring, and the controls are frustrating. I couldn't get above 60 fps, which made the experience even less enjoyable.”
    • “The narrative fails to engage, leaving players wandering aimlessly without any emotional connection. It takes too long to experience anything worthwhile.”
  • atmosphere7 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is generally praised for its impressive visuals and sound quality, effectively capturing the essence of the One Piece world. However, some users feel that it lacks engagement and fun, indicating a mixed reception overall.

    • “The visual style and atmosphere of the game successfully reflects the world of One Piece.”
    • “I went into this wanting a One Piece experience, and so far I've enjoyed the story, the atmosphere, the beyond impressive graphics, and their first attempt at something of this scope.”
    • “The overall atmosphere is amazing and the sound quality is 10/10; it's a shame there was minimal effort put into porting to PC.”
  • character development6 mentions

    Character development in the game is praised for its depth, particularly with the protagonists, the Straw Hat crew, and their unique playstyles.

Overall, the game successfully captures the essence of the characters, enhancing the player's immersion in their abilities and story.

    • “Awesome character development, including of course our protagonists, the Straw Hat crew.”
    • “Very detailed map work, and you can tell how much effort was put into the story, character design, and all of the unique gameplay factors that vary from other open world games in a good way.”
    • “Both character design and skills you learn feel cool and good to use, making you fall into the fantasy of that character.”

  • monetization5 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game is widely criticized as a cash grab, with many reviewers feeling that it prioritizes profit over quality. Despite some appealing elements like an interesting villain and character animations, these features do not compensate for the overall perception of rushed development and a lack of genuine effort.

    • “Seems more of a cash grab.”
    • “The only things this game has going for it are an interesting villain, a cool concept with a pretty hype intro, and the character animations - all of which don't overcome the many cash grab symptoms that plague this application.”
    • “I'm pretty sure the development was rushed and the idea was to be just a quick cash grab with the One Piece IP.”
