One Piece: Grand Gourmet Review: A Classic Kairosoft Sim

Siliconera has published a review of One Piece: Grand Gourmet, describing the title as an engaging restaurant management simulation that effectively integrates elements from the popular manga and anime series. The game follows Monkey D. Luffy and Sanji as they attempt to clear their names after imposters ruin the reputation of the Baratie restaurant.

Players manage a smaller vessel while meeting regional objectives, such as locating missing Straw Hat crew members and defeating rival chefs in cooking battles. The gameplay loop involves gathering ingredients, developing recipes, and satisfying customer wishes to build a fanbase across different locations.

The review praises the pixel art style and faithful character portrayals but notes significant performance issues on the Switch 2 version, including frame rate drops and lag during busy periods. The game is currently available on Switch, Switch 2, PC, and mobile devices.
