NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is basically the shortest way to relive some of the memories of this manga series turned game and honestly, I have played some other Naruto games and this one stands out because of its pace. Within an hour, you are playing as the hokage in his battle against Orochimaru already. This also happened to be the first real harder fight that I encountered, everything up till that point, to be blunt, kind of easy.
Not that that is a bad thing, it is just surprising how the difficulty went up so much in one go. Up to that point, I mostly had breezed through the 3D battles. Like when I was doing the Genin exam part, Naruto versus Kiba. I think I just kept punching him, followed up with chakra moves, back to punches and so forth. It is very fun when you are having an easy time and then, the Orochimaru part. Oh Boy, I was in for a surprise that fight.
I did pass it eventually, the game is actually rather properly balanced and the entire time, you are getting the big picture of the series in short bursts. From Zabuza and Haku to becoming a genin to fighting Orochimaru his troops, … It is a real treat for the fans and honestly speaking, I think it is the better of all the Naruto games I played so far.
In conclusion, while NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS is yet another Shonen Jump title game, it is surprisingly fun to play and with the occasional spike in difficulty, it keeps you on your toes and you have to really fight to pass levels. I loved the nostalgia a lot. The pace was very fast, but it has its charms.
