The developers of One Piece World Seeker had lofty ambitions, but unfortunately, the final product is as shallow as it is frustrating.

One Piece is one of the most popular manga and anime series of all time and has maintained a huge following around the world for an extended period of time. As such, One Piece World Seeker, which brings the franchise's impressive writing, humor, and wackiness to an open-world video game setting, is a title that fans were hoping would be amazing. Unfortunately, the final game is anything but amazing.

In fact, it would be more accurate to say that it seems like One Piece World Seeker tries to bore, frustrate, or downright anger the player at every opportunity, thanks to its bland open-world, clunky controls, and repetitive gameplay design. Like the source material it's derived from, World Seeker's writing is solid and its humor is enjoyable, but that's pretty much where the fun stops.
