It's more of the same but that's not a bad thing as the gameplay is incredibly fast, frantic and fun. A great game on it's own but if you aren't a fan of Dynasty Warriors style beat em ups, this game might not do much to change your opinion on them.

A sprawling beat ‘em up with great replayability and loads of content for both fans and newcomers. Don’t let the messy camera put you off.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is a great debut on PlayStation 4. The proposed contents are indeed many and Omega Force has matured as much as possible in the musou genre with a very spectacular result that does justice to the spirit of the manga. Technically is not so impressive and the action is somewhat repetitive, but the system Kizuna Rush works and is a real pleasure to see our heroes join forces, while the exaggerated number of characters and events that recover the series from the beginning is a true feast for the hardcore fans.

Despite its Frankenstein-esque shortcomings, Pirate Warriors 3 is a beautiful game, and still a lot of fun to play locally.

One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 is a fun game for the fans of the franchise. The fun is mostly found in the story mode, but the extra modes become repetitive very quickly.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is a classic musou game, with tons of characters, thousands of enemies and a simple combat system. If you like One Piece, this is a good way to recall its story from the very beginning till the Dressrosa arc, with a friend too.

The repetitive missions grate all too soon and the bloated levelling makes little difference. The random chunks of story lack consistency and will only be understood by hardcore fans of the show, who deserve a better narrative than this. But when played in short bursts or with people online, there's an easy-going yet empowering flow to the action that makes it hard to put down.
