Review: Ingenious storytelling sets 'One Piece Odyssey' apart from past games


'Odyssey' is made for One Piece fans who’ll get a kick out of seeing key moments adapted in video game form. — Bandai Namco

When it comes to manga, One Piece is widely considered a masterpiece, but the only issue is that the long-running pirate saga still hasn’t ended. After more than 1,000 chapters and 25 years, author Eiichiro Oda said he’s at last on the final arc, but even that won’t wrap up anytime soon.

The ongoing nature of the narrative has always been one of the problems facing One Piece video games. Because it’s so story-driven and the future is murky, developers can never get a handle on how a character matures or how a plot unfolds. It’s like riding a train while workers build the track a few yards ahead. At best, teams convey an incomplete tale, and at worst, they wing it and make some monstrous changes to the plot.
