How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“Expansions are rare when it comes to fighting games, but Road to Boruto manages to add a reasonable chunk of content to a brawler that's already stuffed with things to do. Most of what's on offer is nothing new, but if you've been looking for an excuse to leap back into CyberConnect 2's super polished title, then this additional adventure is as good a reason as any.”

“Road to Boruto is a great expansion. It offer the correct amount of content and presents it in a creative way that justifies a return to the game. However, be aware that it doesn’t last too long and that it lacks any new gameplay mechanic; don’t expect any surprise aside from its story. ”

“Road to Boruto is a very good ending to the Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 saga that will please fans thanks to it's fidelity to the movie. On the downside, the story is a bit short and you can't play Kinshiki nor Momoshiki.”

“Road to Boruto is a nice piece of content, although it is short. It offers a new bit of story, a few new characters and some outfits. Unfortunately, it is a bit short and a bit too expensive for what you get.”

“With its new narrative and additional characters being as well-received as they are, Road to Boruto is a solid expansion that is somewhat let down by uneven side quests and a far too brief story mode.”

“A very enjoyable but somehow flawed new episode for the already superb Naruto Shippuden UNS 4. Few new characters, a fresh story mode and three new arenas have been implemented.”

“Road to Boruto is a good choice for those who missed the 4th installment. On the other hand, the game really expresses that the series is due for a change.”

“The Road to Boruto DLC has some great combat and cut scenes, but the whole expansion doesn’t feel as grand as the original game did.”

“Road to Boruto adds a new adventure mode to Naruto SUNS4. The story is cool, but the whole DLC lacks content.”

“While it won’t change anyone’s thoughts about the base game, Road to Boruto is exactly what an expansion pack should be. It features a meaningful new campaign, which is fun whether or not you’ve seen the movie, several new characters, and does a good job of scratching the gaming itch for Naruto fans as otherwise there wouldn’t be a new game this year. It’s definitely worth picking up for those that enjoyed Ultimate Ninja Storm 4.”
