We find yourself seeing video games that didn’t usually seem on the Swap present up on the system on a regular basis. Typically, these ports aren’t precisely what we anticipated. Otherwise you may have a look at it and suppose it wouldn’t work. Whereas I used to be fairly positive One Piece Odyssey could be superb as soon as Bandai Namco launched the Swap model, I used to be shocked at how nicely it really works. Some visible and framerate compromises apart, it’s a reasonably nice solution to play the sport.
First, I used to be astonished by the One Piece Odyssey Swap loading instances. Although, on this case, it was the shortage of loading instances. It is a substantial sport with quite a lot of element even on this port. But by some means, the loading is swifter than some pixelated or much less demanding video games I’ve performed on the system. I’m undecided if some type of wizardry is at play, however I anticipated not less than 20 second loading instances, and never usually underneath 10 seconds. You do must load between battles, however after the load instances in a sure different Swap model of an RPG I performed, it didn’t trouble me.
As you may count on, the CG scenes all look nice. These films that assist propel this authentic One Piece story ahead don’t lose something within the transition to the Swap, even in handheld mode. I actually appreciated how clear they have been and the way little is misplaced when the decision dropped. Precise character fashions for allies and enemies within the discipline, in addition to environmental parts, do take successful when in comparison with once I performed it on the PS5. It’s solely pure. Nonetheless, the portability made it value it for me, since I used to be practically completely testing out One Piece Odyssey in handheld mode.
The one time One Piece Odyssey did appear to stutter in its efficiency on the Swap was when framerate received concerned. I didn’t really begin seeing this instantly, as a result of it appears the FPS points solely are a problem once you aren’t reliving the Straw Hat’s previous experiences. I feel it solely occurs occurs in you’re in sure open areas, maybe due to how a lot is being taken under consideration and displayed. However I didn’t expertise an excessive amount of of a problem in most battles or areas. It’s solely sometimes that it appears to drastically dip.
I really feel just like the affordability subject is what actually cinches it and makes the One Piece Odyssey Deluxe Version Swap model appear so good. It’s $59.99 on the system. That will get you entry to the extra Reunion of Reminiscences storyline and three outfit units. To check, on Steam or the PlayStation Retailer the usual version is that worth. The Deluxe Version is $84.99 on each of these platforms and, whilst you nonetheless get Reunion of Reminiscences, additionally solely contains an adjunct set, 100,000 Berries, and a Sniper King outfit for Usopp. It’s only a a a lot better deal. The extra state of affairs pack alone on Steam or different storefronts is $24.99.
Usually, One Piece Odyssey suits shockingly nicely on the Swap. I didn’t count on the efficiency to be so clean. Like sure, it completely ran and regarded higher on the PS5. However contemplating what it’s doing and the way a lot is there, I didn’t really feel like there have been too many compromises. Apart from, the result’s getting one other pleasing JRPG on the system.
One Piece Odyssey is on the market on the PS4, PS5, Swap, Xbox Sequence X, and PC.
