Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Review (crtivex.)
So, I've got some mixed feelings about this one.
I enjoyed this game badly, even tho, some mechanics were completely removed or swapped with different ones or similar, I loved how enjoyable fights are, excluding few of them.
I've mastered all boss fights (with 100% hp + all stars + bonus), done everything I ever could.
First of all, the major run of the game took me around 19 hours, additional 21 hours was mastering everything out with an S score + collectibles.
Then, had to spend additional hours to figure out how to fix achievements not completing, which I'm one of the victims that were punished by devs after collecting everything at the end. Got it fixed, but took me additional hours for. My game's save is 43 hours in total play time for.
I've had to spend additional hours to complete stupid achievements nobody ever asked for, but I managed them too as well, of course not worth it.
And I ended up with over 62 hours that Platinum'd the game finally.
Buggy mess.

Additional point of mine that I'm concerned, awful port, bad optimization like every Naruto from the series. I hate this engine so much.
However, I'm still loving this game, I'm the biggest fan of the series itself and I'm still wishing for Naruto handrawned video game, either 2D or 3D.

I have to mention, it's just a fighting game based on Naruto Universe, some stories are different than they used to be originally, and some are skipped.
-
So, how would I rate this game at the end?
Well, 8/10. If I wasn't a fun, I'd truly rate it lower for those messy bugs that made me almost not to platinum this game I wanted, yet had to spend extra hours I never needed. Prolly would it be 6/10 if not.
Have fun,
Enjoy!
PS. Have played and Finished the game on the Steam Deck OLED.
