Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections

“Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is a disappointingly dull entry in the series. You have to wonder where CyberConnect2 will go from here.”

“Our opinions are a bit bittersweet, we love Naruto and every game we can enjoy, however, we believe that it is time for a change, we are talking about an adaptation of one of the most popular anime we have seen, but if we look at Dragon Ball as an example, the latter has been able to diversify without losing its essence. We hope to see something different in a new installment, which you can sure will arrive and we hope that Bandai Namco along with CyberConnect2, can give it a twist with this series.”

“NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is quite the disappointment. Presenting as a step back for the series in many ways, there are simply better adaptations to spend your time with. The game comes with a middling story combined with a lack of spectacle that serves as a mediocre attempt at celebrating the IP. Whilst some fun can be had with the stacked roster and it's easy to jump into, you'll often be reminded that there are greener pastures elsewhere.”

“If you are a fan of the Naruto or Boruto anime or manga then you will find loads to love about Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. Touting the largest roster in series history and an in-depth encyclopedia that covers all the various titles and terms that are used in the series which makes it easy for newcomers to understand. Fights are dazzling and chaotic and developer CyberConnect2 has done an amazing job in that regard. But with the multiplayer being broken on Xbox and the fact the gameplay has been largely unchanged I can’t help but think that this series is in need of some sort of shakeup to push it forward into the future.”

“A nice tip of the hat to the Naruto series after more than twenty years, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is an accomplished celebratory package, albeit one that's unfortunately deficient in a few key areas.”

“Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections finally brings the entire saga of its protagonist to one game, along with a plethora of iconic characters from the franchise. Its mechanics and aesthetics, however, recycle everything that was already present in the previous games, with qualities and defects, which should please longtime fans and put off anyone else.”

“While Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm CONNECTIONS finally adds some genuinely important features to the series, it still lacks some important features and a large portion of its other content is passable.”

“Not even the combined chakra of its impressive roster of shinobis and kunoichis could hide the fact that Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections' story modes are very neglected, falling far short of being the definitive game in the Storm saga.”

“Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS could and should have been the culmination of the critically acclaimed CyberConnect2 series, as well as the very first Naruto tie-in to retrace his epic from top to bottom.”

“If you have never played a Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Storm Connections is clearly for you since it compiles the best, but also the worst of the previous games. The game fills its compilation function and pushes the fan service enough, with an original story touching enough, to invite itself on the library of a regular license also.”

“Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections may have the flashiest graphics in the series, but there’s almost nothing else here to make me seek it out over past entries with basically the same fighting system and better single-player stories.”

“Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is the best way to experience the story of Naruto, both for long-time fans as well as beginners. Naruto's story mode offers a host of content in itself, and the versus mode can be plenty of fun if you have friends that like the series. Just don't expect much in the way of actual gameplay depth.”

“This is a fun yet bare boned tribute to Naruto's long history and adventures. Almost all the features are mostly carried over from previous games”

“It is clear that this is a delivery dedicated one hundred percent to the fans, who already know these stories perfectly, so I do not recommend the game to those who are just joining the saga. Of course, those who do not miss the news about the blonde ninja will obviously buy it without even thinking twice.”

“Although Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections brings along some incredible battle mechanics and detailed customization elements, the game is lacking in a decent single-player story mode. Special Story mode wasn't very interactive or interesting for my tastes.”

“Because so much of its content is repurposed from past games, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is easier to recommend if you're new to the series. That said, this is still an impressively comprehensive anime fighter; the team-based gameplay holds up, the new modes are solid overall, and sheer size of the character roster is hard to ignore.”

“Naruto Storm Connections introduces great upgrades to its addictive arena combat & a story that welcomes new players while tantalizing long-time fans.”

“NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM is perhaps one of the most complete titles dedicated to the world of Naruto. The simplifications in combat system may not be appreciated by everyone, but the title remains a must have for all Naruto fans.”

“Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will make the fans of the saga happy, despite some flaws in its online multiplayer mode.”
