Is Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Worth It: Things to Consider

First of all, this isn’t an industry breaking entry. It really is yet another Ultimate Ninja Storm game — and it doesn’t provide any revolutionary gameplay mechanic or story. For those who are looking to play single player, Ninja Storm Connections is definitely not worth it. All across the board, the single player experience is lackluster. It lacks a proper fleshed out story. Unless players really want the non-canon story mode, with Boruto as the main character, then there really isn’t anything in Storm Connections that warrants the full $60 price point.

Community Hype

It has been over seven years since the last storm entry. And for those wanting to keep up with the community, experiencing the PvP alongside other avid gamers, then there could be value in NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. After all, since it’s a long awaited new storm game, the community will undoubtably move towards it.

Therefore, for die-hard Ninja Storm gamers, NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is worth it — especially for those who are looking to participate in PvP. There is definitely a caveat though. At the moment, there is no friend invites. That means you can’t invite your friends to play, and have to just random queue in the hopes of running into them online. The developers stated they’re going to implement the feature in later, but the lack of this feature is very much inexcusable.

Storm Connections will Inevitably go on Sale

Okay, so the game doesn’t have a good single player. In addition, multiplayer lacks a friend invite feature. The person writing this also experienced major crashes while trying to play online via Steam — but cannot say if this issue persists across all users of if it was just a problem with their personal set up.

But the point is, it’s a very flawed game. For a single player experience, Storm 4 does a far greater job providing a fleshed out experience. And as the heading states, Storm Connections will inevitably go on sale of every platform. It’s truly just a matter of time. So unless players really care about riding the wave of hype, it might just be worth it to wait until Storm Connections to go on sale. Bandai Namco supposedly is planning on updating the game as time goes on, so there’s actually a chance the gameplay experience might even improve as time goes on — thereby giving more incentive to wait on purchasing Storm Connections.

In Conclusion

To conclude, Storm Connections is only worth it for a very niche audience. Unless the reader really wants to participate in the community wave, engaging alongside others in the multiplayer aspects of the game, they may be better off just waiting on a sale. Since the developers stated they plan on updating the game is time goes along, there is honestly a lot of incentive to wait and see.

For those wanting a single player experience, they should definitely wait before purchasing NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections. It’s simply not worth the full $60 price point.
