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.

Critic reviews
- I went into Ultimate Ninja Storms Connections expecting a competent arena fighter, and while I definitely got that, what I didn’t expect was an experience that thoughtfully packaged together the greatest hits of Naruto’s early years in a way that would serve as an entry point to the Naruto universe.
- 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.
- 6.0Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is good mindless fun, but folks looking for depth (in story & combat) should look elsewhere.
- 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.
- 6.0While 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.
Gamer reviews
Why is no one talking about the Story mode?
As a longtime Naruto fan who's played all the Storm Series games, I have to argue that Storm Connections isn't as disappointing as some claim. While it may seem like a copycat with only 10 new characters and minor gameplay improvements, it's important to consider the quality over quantity. The 10 new characters could offer unique gameplay experiences, and the quality of life improvements can enhance the overall gameplay. Regarding the 150 characters, it's possible that having multiple variations of Naruto and Sasuke adds depth and diversity to the game's combat mechanics. Furthermore, the original story by Masashi Kishimoto is a significant draw, and it successfully captures the essence of the anime. Boruto's journey through Naruto's life adds a fresh perspective to the franchise, even if it doesn't align with the canonical events of the anime. In conclusion, while there are valid criticisms, Storm Connections still offers enjoyable elements for fans, and it's worth exploring beyond the initial disappointment.
