However, since this feature is optional, Logs can be easily overlooked, adding to the mess.
Like Lim, Logs help contextualize those new to One Piece. They present a stunningly artistic retrospective of the arc. In the first Memoria, the game introduces a feature called Logs. Still, it feels rushed and cropped, as if the game already expected players to be acquainted with it. The narrative guide is Lim, whose job is to flood the crew with questions about the corresponding Memoria while also giving context to those unaware of these events. This is where confusion will set in for newcomers, felling stuck playing a direct sequel without having experienced its predecessor. After a basic tutorial and overview of Waford Island, One Piece Odyssey introduces the Memoria mechanic, which has the Straw Hats tackling previous arcs of the manga. Lim also acts as a conduit for non-fan players. Both directly partake in the narrative, serving as key characters in its unfolding. Straight away, One Piece Odyssey introduces the player to the game’s unique characters, Lim and Adio. Most of the game’s scenarios are a sight for sore eyes. For those unfamiliar with the Straw Hats, only indifference is in store for them. One Piece Odyssey makes no effort at properly introducing each pirate fans of the series need no introduction. In between, the colorful personalities of the characters are showcased as they explore the region. It’s up to the crew to unravel its mystery, fix their ship, and find Captain Luffy’s much-loved straw hat. Each member flashes their skills against sharp, flying icicles, but soon are shipwrecked on an uncharted island.
The game starts with a neat cutscene featuring the crew of the Straw Hat’s trademark talents. It’s an experience that will likely only satisfy the biggest fans of the manga. Combat ages quickly, and exploration tires of itself, trading freedom for linearity right off the bat. The whole thing is very predictable and uninspiring. However, One Piece Odyssey ends up playing it too safe. The game spares no effort in trying to attract old and new fans alike, promising a new story written by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece’s legendary creator. Now it has anchored in a full-fledged role-playing game with One Piece Odyssey. In addition to sailing the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates have navigated through several games ranging from fighting to adventure. Best-selling manga One Piece isn’t short of game adaptations.
