Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Reviews
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 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.

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 will make the fans of the saga happy, despite some flaws in its online multiplayer mode.

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.
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.

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.
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 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.

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 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.

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.
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 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

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.

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