Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Reviews
Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is another derivate ink stroke on the never-ending ninja scroll that makes up the Ultimate Ninja Storm series.
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 x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will make the fans of the saga happy, despite some flaws in its online multiplayer mode.

Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is undoubtedly the most complete and extensive game of the worldwide popular anime hit to date. Although there are no major innovations, fans and, of course, all those who want to become fans can pick it up without hesitation thanks to the large roster, two story campaigns and beginner-friendly action gameplay.

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is a love letter to all fans of this universe and who after so many years have begun to miss a game in the series. However, it's a difficult title to position and maybe it's even better to look for the Trilogy or Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 to get a better and bigger Naruto experience. The new characters are the only real curiosity in an all-too-familiar package.

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 is more of a battle collection with bonuses than a fully-fledged new installment. The story mode only covers about a quarter of the fights from Naruto to the end of the Shippuden saga and the "Special Story" mode has too many filler fights that drag it out. But the fun and varied battles with the immense number of characters, the great visuals and finally 60fps make the actual gameplay a pleasure. Nevertheless, it can only be recommended to hardened Naruto fans.

Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections ultimately falls short of the lofty goals many had for it. Although the gameplay changes are refined and welcomed, an overall lack of content depth looms and makes me yearn for more. Ultimately, Storm Connections is a title I recommended waiting to pickup, as the content is not justified for the $60 price point.
Naruto Storm Connections introduces great upgrades to its addictive arena combat & a story that welcomes new players while tantalizing long-time fans.
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.
I’m not too big a fan of how much was stripped away in Ninja Storm’s Connections History mode, but it still does a good job of picking the right moments to sum up for Naruto-noobies while still offering fun fights alongside Boruto’s extra story. Ninja Storm fans will know what they’re coming back to, this time with a larger roster than Storm 4. Connections is ultimately a great little collection of all things Naruto.
Nostalgic about the past, and hopeful for the future, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is more than just a simple revisitation. While there was a fear it would tread water like its fellow side-story spin-off, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution, this collection provides ample reason to revel in the past, reminisce about the passage of time, and look forward to a bright future.
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.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is more Ultimate Ninja Storm. That’s great for me, as I enjoy the game series and the source material, but if you’ve played every Ninja Storm game, this won’t provide you with too much new content. Still, it’s a ton of fun – especially for Naruto fans who want to partake in battles between any combination of characters one can imagine.
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.
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
NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS feels like an unambitious game that focuses on improving its predecessor and introducing a few changes. While the combat system can be chaotic and confusing, it offerts a lot of fun. The overall product serves as a worthy celebration of the legacy of anime's most famous ninja

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.
Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections continues the celebrated series but falls short in innovation, heavily relying on familiar combat systems and character rosters. Despite this, it offers an impressive array of over 100 characters, simplified controls for newcomers, and enhanced online multiplayer features, along with two single-player story modes that revisit the Naruto series and introduce a new Boruto-centric plot.
This series compilation offers all of the above parts with minor additions to the story and many playable characters, with a simple and entertaining combat system, but it did not succeed in telling the story in an attention-grabbing way and lacked any praiseworthy new additions.
