Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Reviews
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

If you're a fan then NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS will be a welcome addition to your collection, especially if you want to experience a new fun-filled Boruto campaign. It'll definitely make you remember just how great these fighters are. š„
Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections rehashes old content at a high price. Despite the love for the saga and anime-based games, it doesn't deserve more than a passable score. Hopefully, CyberConnect2 will reinvigorate the series with fresh ideas.

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is a complex title to analyze. It represents an encyclopedic production of Kishimoto's work, with one of the largest rosters seen in the fighting genre, plentiful content, and an obvious focus on fans. If it is compared to the previous chapters, however, it unfortunately inherits the same criticisms as its predecessor with an even more risque and drab story, further simplified gameplay, and an atavistic lack of novelty. Those who have never approached the series might see the latest CyberConnect2 effort as an interesting package. Paradoxically, however, fans of the leaf ninja in particular might be left with a bitter taste in their mouths.

In Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections CyberConnect2 used all its experience to create the ultimate game dedicated to Naruto and companions. The goal was only partially achieved due to a barely hinted at story mode, a limited number of modes and gameplay that for many could be far too simplistic. Nonetheless, the presence of a huge roster, an intriguing and entertaining new story and an established use of cell shading make Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections a title that all fans of the series and the manga should have on their shelves.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is the richest installment in the tie-in series born from the genius of Masashi Kishimoto and CyberConnect2. At the expense of a narrative component that could certainly have been set up better, the title features dynamic and overwhelming gameplay. The technical improvements and free character customization are then greatly appreciated. A title that will undoubtedly succeed in rekindling the spirits of old Naruto Uzumaki fans, allowing them to relive the great emotions experienced with the animated TV series story.

It has incredible smooth visuals but all the rest is a bit meh.
Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is a game with quality, but with very little ambition. It refines some of the gameplay that comes from several previous titles, further expands the range of playable characters, and offers an original Boruto story that is better than the most optimistic of expectations. But it disappoints tremendously with the lack of love and care it puts into its rather incomplete Naruto story mode, which is nothing more than a series of copies/pastes of past games. There is quality here, but it is a somewhat frustrating celebration of one of the best manga/animes of recent times. It could perfectly be the ultimate Ultimate Ninja Storm experience, but it's just another cobblestone ā and one of those poorly placed ones that causes the most distracted to trip over it.

NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS was to be the perfect opus for all fans of the franchise, and even for new players wishing to discover this universe. The basic premise is interesting, with spectacular battles, a large character roster and accessible gameplay. Unfortunately, the story mode aims to summarize the franchise too quickly, and leaves out several key battles. What's more, the new Boruto storyline is rather weak overall. Not to mention the visual quality, which doesn't meet today's high standards. I'd mainly recommend this title to players who are already familiar with CyberConnect2's other opuses and who will enjoy online battles.

Like the long adventure from which it was inspired, Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is full of ups and downs, with a slight edge to the highs. In the end, we have a game aimed at fans of the work and anime in general, especially for those who want the complete collection now and don't want to wait for promotions.

CyberConnect2's new game feels like a missed opportunity, with a lazily built Naruto story mode and identical gameplay to the past games. Boruto's story mode and the huge roster of characters help it to partly recover, but it's too little, especially for a game that is supposed to celebrate 20 years of Naruto history.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is another serviceable entry in the series, and while it doesn't break or tread new ground, players can expect a fun but shallow outing with some of their favorite ninjas in the Naruto series. Even with over 130 characters, the game is bogged down by a lack of modes, lackluster English voices, and a new story that felt predictable. While it did have some high points and some emotional moments, it doesn't stand out too much, which might be a disappointment.
With Naruto x Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections, Bandai and Cyberconnect 2 promised to bring the series into the modern era of fighting games. The title succeeds in convincing with its novel story and gameplay, but in general it feels mostly like an expansion of the Ninja Storm titles.

Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections celebrates 15 years of the Storm series with intense combat and a vast number of characters. However, the lack of significant new features leaves the product much closer to a repetition than an evolution. In short, the true essence of the Leaf Ninja's journey is best explored in the numbered titles of this saga.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is good mindless fun, but folks looking for depth (in story & combat) should look elsewhere.
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.
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.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections presents a more complete story package than all the titles made from the Naruto anime. Still, it does not provide a pleasant and exciting experience from its story parts. This title hasn't managed to give a brilliant performance to continue the successful path of the Naruto and Boruto game series. However, the gameplay experience is entertaining and will keep you hooked for hours.

As an anime fan who hasnāt watched Naruto in almost a decade and has never seen beyond one arc of Boruto, this game made me excited for the franchise in a way I honestly hadnāt felt in a long time. But my view of Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections as my own reentry is a subjective point that the gameās mechanics donāt necessarily do enough to overtake the nostalgia and stand on its own.
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.
