One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4

“While that’s great for dedicated followers, newcomers may quickly feel lost in the story. As a package, it’s brimming with content, but fundamental issues with the formula mean you might ultimately want to let this ship sail by.”

“A rare innovative Musou game, with tons of content but a handful of issues. If you can wrestle the camera into submission, and especially if your One Piece fan, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is full of treasure once you dig past its flaws”

“One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 brings a lot of good additions to the franchise but it has far too many technical and camera issues to be a must play right now.”

“One Piece. Pirate Warriors 4 is not a bad game at all as it offers a lot of frenetic and chaotic battles with simple yet fun gameplay mechanics. However, it is really predictable and its contents are what many fans (from both the anime and Musou series) would expect. Its more of the same formula we have seen in previous titles, though that is not necessarily bad or wrong; only not amusing.”

“One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is the best One Piece game so far, with so many playable characters and carefully designed skills and combos, however, the game still lacks in its online modes and the sadly bad graphical design for characters.”

“If you’ve played a Warriors game before, then you’ve basically played One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4.”

“One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a great installation in the Pirate Warriors series and feels like a love letter to fans of the franchise.”

“A let down it is that Omega Force couldn't dedicate as much time to the visuals as they have done the source material, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is still the kind of game — the kind of Musou too — that seemingly does the unthinkable in providing a ludicrous-yet-fulfilling action game regardless of its depth.”

“Although it doesn't try to do something as radical as World Seeker, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is arguably just as great by sticking to the satisfying Warriors gameplay loop. One Piece fans will adore it even with its condensed story-telling, but it's also great for people with a casual interest in the series. It's easily the strongest title in the series so far, and a great bit of mindless fun in the wonderful One Piece world.”

“One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is the best Musou around, and it's also a must buy for all lovers of Eiichiro Oda's opera omnia.”

“A notorious leap in the franchise, although it can't help becoming reiterative and confusing. Even so, the huge scope of the game and the spectacularity of the giant characters are a real candy for One Piece fans.”

“One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is yet another action heavy entry in the spinoff series that will provide fans of the series with a fun experience for awhile before starting to feel very monotonous as a result of the lack of anything special to set itself apart from other games in the genre.”

“One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is a fan's dream game, as it takes the iconic battles and moments of eight major story arcs and puts you right in the action like never before. Combat is fun and flashy while still managing to be surprisingly thoughtful, and although a few characters aren't a joy to control, a majority of the cast is an absolute delight to play as. One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is a jolly good time.”

“One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a huge game that allows players to relive iconic battles like never before, playing as one of the 40 plus characters. There's so much for fans and newcomers to enjoy but nothing new or special to stop the game becoming monotonous after a while. Also the same problems that I feel have plagued musou games still exist, disappointing camera control which isn't awful but can make boss battles a pain at times. The difference in difficulty between bosses and grunts is like Heaven and Earth. They are pretty much useless and wait to be killed, they just need to put up a fight.”

“Pirate Warriors 4 is a great One Piece-flavored spin on the musou genre with a deep roster and simple but fun combat”
