Overall, the story aspect of the game series has seen significant improvement, particularly in the second installment, which features enhanced voiceovers and better quick-time events, allowing for more exploration beyond Konoha. While players appreciate the engaging storyline and the ability to relive Naruto's adventures, some criticize the reliance on still images for storytelling in Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, which detracts from the cinematic experience. Despite these drawbacks, the series is praised for its comprehensive story modes and the value of having all titles available at a good price.
“The second game does a much better job telling the story with more voice overs, better QTE sequences than in the first game, and as a player, you get to explore environments outside of Konoha.”
“Lately, I've been getting back into the anime, and playing this really lets me appreciate the amazing job that they did with the storyline!”
“Great game! Just buy this one and you won't have to worry about DLC; you can enjoy a full storyline. 5 stars!”
“Good looking graphics and cinematics, but gameplay is pretty boring with the number of find and fetch tasks needed to progress through the story.”
“The story mode is decent; however, Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (UNS4) doesn't have many anime cutscenes.”
“Most of the story for UNS4 is told using still images.”

“I find the grind to level up incredibly tedious; it takes away from the enjoyment of the game.”
“The amount of time required to grind for resources is frustrating and feels like a chore rather than fun.”
