Not only is Boruto trying to break away from his father’s legacy, he’s also trying to train to become a master Ninja like his dad, so the juxtaposition is interesting to say the least.
This is where the chemistry feels different, and Boruto’s resentment to his father gives the story most of its impact. He’s similar to Naruto in a lot of ways, especially when he was younger, and now that Naruto is the Seventh Hokage, time spent with his son is seldom, being far too busy to give him the time of day. Road to Boruto tells the story of Naruto’s son, Boruto. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool to finally see Boruto’s story told in videogame form, and the fact you get to play out last year’s Boruto: The Movie on your consoles is great, there just feels like something is missing. Last year’s Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 was one of the standout fighters of 2016, fusing dynamic combat with superb set pieces and a gripping story it seems natural to expand upon something so popular, but the Road to Boruto DLC doesn’t quite do it justice.
