Thanks to some welcome changes to its core systems – mainly the improved battle mechanics and the great onus on story content – Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Road to Boruto is the most accomplished and enjoyable instalment in the series yet. While it's certainly more for the hardcore Naruto crowd, it's nevertheless a meaty package with an impressively vast roster, a huge amount of unlockable content and the addition of the film-tie in for the Baruto storyline. If you love all things Naruto, this fourth instalment is a must-have addition to your ninja collection.

Due to the limitations of the Nintendo Switch’s resolutions, the visuals may not be at its best, but all of its contents are firmly ported to the handheld. The explosive visuals do not disappoint even if compared to the high quality anime scene of its original IP, thanks to the consistent frame rate that keeps up with the action. The best thing about this port is some of the free contents you can experience which you may have missed out since it’s original release.

Road to Boruto it's a fun and spectacular fighting game that, even if it offers less content than Naruto SUNS Trilogy, Includes all the DLC, the biggest roster of fighters seen in the series and offers a more polished visuals, but not free of little problems here and there, like fps drops in adventure mode.

The execution and delivery whilst not matching the predecessor, still maintains the momentum whilst giving the main campaign memorable moments with the snap shots of narrative bringing the best and cutting the worst. Road to Boruto does this and more, easily rivaling Full Burst. A fitting end and purchase for fans of the franchise.

Road to Boruto tells a great story, drawing in the player to becoming emotionally attached to the next generation of heroes. The battles are generally entertaining and using characters I’ve never used before certainly helps to keep things fresh. That being said, the best battle on paper is a real let-down and the side quests can drag on a little. Although extra characters for the roster is more than welcome, there are a handful of omissions that should’ve been included instead of having multiple variants of the certain people.

The gameplay is exactly what one would expect from Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, as it offers up simplified, yet satisfying, fighting.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 - Road to Boruto is a great addition to the the most beautiful fighting game based on the anime, which expands an already huge roster of available characters, but suffers from a crumpled story and the same type of side quests. The empty and uninteresting city is pulling the game down, but the situation is partly corrected with an impressive epic scale battles, which should please all fans of the series.

If you're a Naruto fan or have played one of the previous games I would suggest picking this one up. Other than being short, this Naruto game follows suit with its predecessor and is sure to make any fan of the series very happy.

The Road to Boruto DLC has some great combat and cut scenes, but the whole expansion doesn't feel as grand as the original game did.

We can analise the Road to Boruto DLC in two ways: seeing as a DLC/expansion of the original game, and of a complete version of the game released in the last year, with some additions and a extra content. Looking for the side of a DLC, it's a little dissapointing for those who expected a little more of the content for the price suggested on the launch period. With few new characters and a new short mode that recicles a lot of elements of the original game. But for the people who doesn't have the opportunity to play the original game until now, it's a good call buy this for all the content (3 pack of DLC's), with a addition of a exclusive content, which at least adds on the total time and the selection of characters. The gameplay and the visuals is still incredible and is really recomended for the fans of the manga and anime.

Weak expansion of truly great game. If you really have to check out Boruto’s story on the console, at least wait for a discount.

Road to Boruto is a new DLC of Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 in which we will play the adventures of Boruto Uzumaki, son of the Hokage Naruto, who will do everything possible to be the best shinobi and be faster, better and stronger than his father. A new generation is on the way!

Road to Boruto is a great expansion. It offer the correct amount of content and presents it in a creative way that justifies a return to the game. However, be aware that it doesn’t last too long and that it lacks any new gameplay mechanic; don’t expect any surprise aside from its story.
