    One of the best adventure games. With one of the best protagonists. Copy and it's worse than Tomb raider. The second worst of the saga

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I keep going back to this game to try and push through to the end, but it's a real struggle. And it's not because the game is difficult (it isn't) but because of how dreadfully boring it is.

    I really enjoyed the other three games - 1 was unpolished but fun, 2 was the best of the series, 3 upped the spectacle and diverse environments though was disjointed and made less sense. I even played most of Golden Abyss and it wasn't bad. Uncharted 4 is just a tedious slog. It's one thing to have puzzles, character moments, and slow parts to build immersion and break up the action. All the others had these and it worked. But this time around they basically forgot to include any actual gameplay! Action sequences seem almost begrudgingly shoved in, in the form of "encounters", which are actually fine, but they are often literally hours apart. In between these are interminable segments of walking, talking, and climbing, with little to no additional combat.

    I have made it maybe 1/2 or 2/3 of the way through the game, and the plot isn't great. It looked promising at first starting out with 'retired' Nate getting back into the adventurer game, and I thought I would give it time to slowly build. But then it didn't really go anywhere interesting. The ret-conned brother character really comes out of left field. Somehow the relationships and dialogue don't do it the way they used to. Something "fun" is missing. It's clear there are different writers.

    The invulnerable (yet entirely uninteresting) black female character Nadine kicking Nate's ass left me scratching my head at first because it seemed so weird and unnecessary, but now that I know about Neil Druckman and his catastrophic influence on The Last of Us 2's plot, it makes sense that he would shoehorn this in as part of his absurd "woke" agenda.

    I can't for the life of me figure out how this misfire of a game came away with so many 9/10 reviews. Maybe one day I will make it through this one. For anyone considering picking this up, however, be warned: you might hate the series after playing it.

    Edit, revised score from 4/10:

    Now that I have finished the game, I can say that the second half finally picks up the pace and is better, and even its slow bits are improved, though the first 10-15 hours are still ridiculously slowly paced. If the first time wasn't gratuitous enough, Nadine kicks both Drake brothers' asses in hand-to-hand combat a second time!

    The final sword fight with Rafe is obnoxious and too difficult, basically a 10-minute quicktime event. Game developers: don't introduce a completely new game mechanic for the final scene! (Pro tip, spam both triangle and circle each time he swings and you'll parry correctly enough to get through).

    The ending is decent overall and brings good closure to the series, though why a guy who now literally owns a salvage company doesn't make project #1 to go back to the island and recover the billions of dollars in lost gold which he now knows the exact location of, boggles the mind.    … Expand

    In short: this game, is an interactive movie, not an actual game.

    The climbing in this game suffers from the same problems that Shadow of the Tomb Raider and the modern day Assassin's Creed games suffer from: it is too simple.
    There is no challenge to the climbing. There is 1 very clear path - outlined in white ledges - that you need to take. The biggest consequence to the 3 times you die as a result of missing a ledge in the whole game is the couple of extra seconds you miss before being sent back to 5 seconds before you died.
    There is no need for any sort of thinking to know what your next move or where your next path is going to be. And if you take 1 minute extra to think, the game makes sure that you're not burning through too many grey matter in your brain and just points you to what you need to do.
    The puzzles are also insultingly simple; it's just a hassle to do what is very clearly required of you. Again, if you take 1 extra minute to think, the game tells you what you need to do so you won't have a difficult time playing.
    The best parts of the game are the shooting parts. The level design is decent, the enemy AI is very challenging and they flank you every chance they get. Top notch shooting really. It's just a shame there's not that many of them.
    While story can be more subjective, to me, the story was incredibly bland. I did not care one bit about the drama between Elena and Nathan as every line seemed weightless and ultimately inconsequential. Sam and Nate had better dynamics, but not by much.
    But the worst parts in the whole game were the young Nathan missions, which combines the worst part of Uncharted 4 - the actual climbing - with "exploration" elements, which is essentially walking around painfully slowly, picking up artifacts and making goofy comments about them, and some explanation of why the events in the present day are unfolding the way they are. But they ultimately feel inconsequential as well and definitely not worth the amount of time and patience you need to spend to finish them.
    I think the few beautiful set-pieces and the amazing graphics blinded people to how shallow this game actually was in terms of story and gameplay (minus the shooting sections). Uncharted 4 is a great game for the casual gamer but a travesty for gamers who look for a GAME to PLAY, and not an interactive movie.    … Expand

    The story has a ton of plot holes, for example, the characters just found out where they need to go through a scroll we spent the first few hours searching for and immediately the bad guy, who was also looking for the scroll, has telepathic abilities and also knows where to go.

    This isn't the only inconsistency but they keep piling up to the point it really detracts from the experience. The combat is extremely mediocre, the characters are not particularly deep but are cliches of the treasure hunter.

    As to the positives, the overall story is not bad, just the execution of it. The music is decent albeit nothing exceptional and the visuals are actually good. This game is more of a movie than a game so I'll judge as that and it's not great but not bad. A slightly above average game.

    A cliche story with some good writing. The part where you and your GF took out an entire mercenary army though, that's just BS. You don't even need to play this game, just watch the walkthrough on YouTube. I don't regret playing this game but I definitely won't buy any game of the same style.

The dissonance between the gameplay and story existed in the entire series, but I think it´s only a big deal here, because of the tone. The first 3 games have similar tones to Indiana Jones, it´s main inspiration, so not adressing the mass murder just like in those movies is not that big a deal because of the light tone of the games and the movies, it´s a dumb fun action adventure, and there is nothing wrong with that. In 4 though, it tries to be more serious, darker, tries to give consequences to the bad things the characters do, but the game doesn´t fully commit to it, the game cops out of consequences and of adressing what you do outside of cutscenes. The tone makes you consider some of the characters actions and their consequences, but not all of them, so it´s inconsistent. If this game delivered on this, it could be one of the best games ever made, but it didn´t. The game ends up being a fun, messy adventure that will always be in the shadow of what it could be.… Expand

    The gameplay is 4/10, it is basically rock climbing, with some puzzles and getting lost a lot without knowing where to go.

I don't know why this game can't have a decent system to warn the player where he should go, also isn't funny 5 hours of repetitive rock climbing. On top of that, there are some quick time events.

    The combat is 5.5/10. It is basically a generic third-person shooter with a bad stealth system and is kinda repetitive too. From the beginning to the almost ending it feels the same **** just killing a horde of mercenaries over and over with pretty much the same weapons, just in the end of the game there are new relevant weapons like an RPG, but that only happens in chapter 20-21

    Story 6/10 (Spoilers alert) - The story is about a seek for a pirate treasure (Avery treasury). Sam (Nathan's brother whom he thought had died) has returned saying that he was released from prison by Alcazar (a drug cartel leader) in exchange for him to find and give him half of Avery's treasure. Nathan lies to his wife and tries to help his brother.

    In the seeking, we meet the villain Rafe that a playboy with an inferiority complex because he inherited the fortune from his father and never conquered anything. He hates especially Drake because he envies his talent as a treasury seeker, so he wants badly to discover Avery's treasury. Needless to say, that villain isn't anything special her partner, Nadine is more interesting but she doesn't show much of her personality.

    IMO the beginning and the ending are ok but the middle is damn too long and bad, it is basically Nate and Sam seeking the treasury going from many places with lots of boring puzzles and rock climbing, and nothing really interesting happening it is the same **** "oh the treasury isn't here we need to go to another place". That happens in chapters 6-14.

    Also, I must say the story is too danm unrealistic, Nathan appears to be a Super-Hero because the scenes of action are too ridiculous, Nathan and his friends make things impossible like jumping from car to car in a chase with dozens of mercenaries shooting him with guns.

    In chapter 15 the story has the biggest twist. There isn't Alcazar, Sam lied to Nathan, actually Rafe released him from prison but he betrayed him. From that moment at least the story becomes way less repetitive. Nathan's wife saves him and helps them with Sully too.

    Alas, it is just the generic ending, they find the treasury, defeat the villain and they lived happily ever after. IMO, the story is just 6/10.

    Graphics is 8/10. It is the best part of the game, especially the character models, they are so real.

    Final word - I've played on PC and it was my first Uncharted game, I was so hyped to play this game that everyone said was a masterpiece. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I don't see anything special in this game.    … Expand

Nathan is known to use guns with no problem in previous games & he is not just learning how to shoot right? so why on earth did anyone in Naughty Dog think that it would be a good idea to add weapon bloom into this franchise? Why is it that every time you aim your reticle at an enemy & shoot, the bullets hit everything BUT the enemy? That would work if the enemy would miss some of their shots too but no, every enemy that shoots at you manages to hit every single shot. I was wondering why I’ve replayed Uncharted 1-3 many times but I was done with 4 after the first play through & going back to it now I finally realized the reason. Weapon Bloom doesn’t belong in story mode, you can add it to multiplayer but missing shots that are dead on target in story mode? No thank you, if the next Uncharted game has weapon bloom, I’ll pass on it as well. Weapon Bloom is the laziest excuse for “realistic” gunplay & a person who uses guns for years would be able to control their recoil without a problem. Nathan’s gunplay in this game feels like a rookie who just picked up his first gun. You ruined one of the fun aspects of the game.… Expand

The stealth mechanics are over-simplistic, the platforming controls are unreliable, getting in and out of cover is clunky as all hell, and climbing mostly consists of pressing X and watching Nathan execute the moves without any real engagement (more like a cutscene). Quick-time events are over-used to the point of annoyance (just show me a loading screen instead of making me press Triangle 50 times) and the trope of things falling apart as soon as Nate lands on them becomes played-out after the 4th or 5th time, then happens approximately 30 more times.

    I'm also generally not a fan of games taking control away from the player or even making me walk super-slow for no good reason, totally breaks my immersion. Plus, it's ironic how the most "realistic" games often end up feeling pretty weird because so much stuff (like grip points) are pre-determined, so the animations have to play catch-up if the player's inputs aren't 100% on point.

    Overall, it seems like this game would've been better off without the gmeplay parts, that is to say, as a movie (which, incidentally, an Uncharted movie about to come out soon).    … Expand

    Much as I wanted to really like this game, I found it to be quite boring! The storyline didn't engage me at all. I gave up paying it completely half way through, then came back to it months later to see if I changed my mind...I didn't. Although I finished it, its only because I'm a completionist. The gameplay mechanics need working on in my view. That said, graphics are pretty good.

    15 out of 10 grenades thrown at your feet. If it weren't exclusive to Soapstation 4, it would be mixed with mud, seriously. And so, the movie is not bad, but in gay_play it is very much inferior to the Tomb Raider 2013 ...

    This sudden appearance by Sam also made it painfully obvious what was going to happen, because in every story that has a never before mentioned family member show up, the family member will either die or betray the main characters. It's incredibly cliche and predictable.
    There are some nice improvements on the mechanics, but nothing really groundbreaking.
    Still, this is an adventure like you'd expect from Uncharted and it is a lot of fun when it just focuses on that and less on the family therapy.    … Expand

    U4 is completely unnecessary, and in my opinion unwelcome, but it still held most of the good aspects of the previous games.

If you want to look forward to more unfair amounts of climbing, more great writing (besides the Deus Ex Machina brother for the makers who want more money), and more disposable AI's that only exist for their heads to be pew-pewed, then U4 is for you. I enjoyed it and I LOVED the ending, but that was also the case with U3, which could have been the franchise's R.I.P. date. Plus, you get Henry Jackman on the soundtrack.

    I played and loved Uncharted 1 and 2 and even the Vita game, this really shows what a generational leap in consoles can do. The level design is incredible, giving you for the first time in the series a sense of freedom to find your own way while rarely getting lost. How they managed to achieve this is amazing! Mix that with some of the most incredible set pieces in a game to date and I was seriously impressed.

    Unfortunately the gameplay is where this game plummeted faster than Nate after an accidental O button press. The climbing is fluid, quick and intuitive but instead of an adrenaline filled challenge making you feel rewarded when you reach your destination. It slows the progress to such a frustrating level that by the last few hours I was so bored of again jumping on a rickety wooden bridge/crumbly rock to have it break cause Nate to make a detour that I almost didn't bother finishing the game.

    And why on earth do Naughty dog think pushing out of place wooden boxes with trolley wheels is such an interesting mechanic. So much so that they included it every 15 min throughout the game, they handle terribly and again only achieve to slow the gameplay to such a crawl that it breaks all momentum and sense of progression making gameplay a predictable chore.

    The stealth is good while it lasts, I missed having a silenced weapon to take full advantage and nearly always managed get spotted resulting in the other big let down of this game, the shooting!

    Shooting in these games was never the primary focus but it was always a welcome break. Here unfortunately the developer seemed to want to transition it from cover based shooter run and gun action. And it failed miserably. The cover is now destructible and doesn't seem to offer much protection anyway with enemies easily managing to land hits on Nate even when hidden fully, and the constant barrage of fire means popping your head out for even a second results in taking significant damage. The enemies are very aggressive constantly marching towards and sometimes spawning behind your location and each taking too many bullets to kill, meaning that you have to take a few shots and attempt to run to the next crumbling cover spot scrabbling to pick up what little ammo you can grab on the way. Whenever I died (which was often) I nearly always felt cheated. I dreaded the crappy uncreative gun fights with the same crappy cookie cutter 4 or 5 enemy types and the same crappy 4 or 5 nearly identical weapons. It made me miss the Shambala guardians of Uncharted 2.

    The one last saving grace of the game play was the driving sequences ,which where surprisingly my favourite part of the game, the vehicles handle amazingly and the level design makes for the clear highlight of the game but it couldn't make up for the rest.    … Expand

    Sadly Uncharted 4 took out the only good thing from UC3, being able to toss back grenades. It still plays like a game made for the PS360 era, with clunky shooting and stilted climbing.

    93/100 is an awfully high review for a non-open-world 3D platformer. I liked this game a lot the first time I played it in when it was called "Rise of the Tombraider." I just recently purchased a PS4 so that I could not only experience this title, but the other PS4 exclusive titles. Thus far, I'm finding that I wasn't missing much.

    This is by no means a bad game at all. I paid $15.00    93/100 is an awfully high review for a non-open-world 3D platformer.

I just recently purchased a PS4 so that I could not only experience this title, but the other PS4 exclusive titles. Thus far, I'm finding that I wasn't missing much.

    This is by no means a bad game at all. I paid $15.00 for it, which I consider a bargain. It's probably worth about $40.00. But to give this game a rating that puts it in the realm of "Witcher 3," "Red Dead Redemption 2," or even "Far Cry XX" territory is absurd. This game is Tomb Raider with a male protagonist and more gunfights (a lot more gunfights). It does a lot of things well, but it also does a lot of things not so well. It's an average game, basically.

    For example, I mentioned the gunfights. They're pretty ridiculous. You're a God-like bullet-sponge that can absorb infinite damage assuming you're able to scurry behind cover after every tenth gunshot wound. The gunfights aren't not-fun I suppose. They're basically whack-a-mole style like Gears of War. What bothers me is that you can tell the game wants you to try a stealth approach in lieu of many (but not all) of the gunfights. This stealth approach involves sneaking up on enemy gunmen and strangling them to death. To help you in this task, they utilize the tall-grass-hiding mechanic from, among other games, the Assassin's Creed series. The problem is, however, that you can't beckon enemies to your hidden location like you can do in every other game with stealth mechanics. So, basically, you're hidden in the tall grass with an enemy perhaps five feet away, but you can't whistle or throw a rock to beckon them towards you. You just have to hope that they amble towards you and fall into your trap like a spider and a web.

    Because of the useless stealth mechanics detailed in the immediately preceding paragraph, you often have to dart out from cover and strangle enemies to death in full view of the world. Your hope is that you won't fall into the viewing radius of any of the other enemy APCs while doing so. There's not really any good way to thwart this possibility. The Hitman series does a great job with this by providing you with a map that reveals the enemy NPCs line of sight. This games doesn't do that at all. It's basically just dumb luck if you murder an enemy NPC and don't get caught. What's worse, if you're trying to be stealthy, then you're necessarily behind enemy lines. So if you do alert an enemy NPC in your attempt, then they'll all immediately and simultaneously open fire on you. You're at a strategic disadvantage at that point because, like I said, you're behind enemy lines. Stealth in this game, basically, doesn't work.

    So you have to go in guns blazing Gears of War style like I stated earlier. If they made it so you could silence the guns like in Far Cry or Tomb Raider, it would've made a massive difference in the game play experience. But they didn't. Anyway, the next issue is the game's overall style.

    It's not open-world. It's not even close. The levels give you the impression that they're massive and lend themselves to exploration, but you'll soon find that they're not. This is a linear platformer. The little subworld aren't even as big as Tomb Raiders. This is basically the on-rails style of Gears of War coupled with the climbing/platformer of Tomb Raider.

    Like I said earlier, this isn't a bad game. The graphics are decent, but not over the top. The water graphics are straight-up hideous, and this is my assessment after playing on a PS4 Pro. The voice acting is very good, and I liked the characters. That's not a small compliment either - that's the game's best asset, and it's the reason why I would recommend giving this game a shot.

    But, in the end, this isn't a "93/100." If I'm being charitable, I'd give this game a 77/100.    … Expand

For example we destroy tracking device at the beginning, but enemies still are everywhere before us. They don't find any clues because we destroy them, not a problem. They read our mind. Their funds and human resources are infinite, you cannot carry weapons between missions, you are limited in weapon carried. QTE events are even more frustrating than in Lara's adventures.

These additions are a bit of a waste, since they don't play all that interesting, so it feels more like something new for newness sake.
    Part 4 also has fewer interesting puzzles, and is more filled with climbing, which was always the least interesting part to me.
    From the first game the Uncharted series has revolved around telling a story. A story consisting of fun banter between Nate and Sully, flirty talk between Nathan and Elena (or any other woman around), and the coolness of finding something new. Uncharted 4 is about guilt for douche-bag brother and marital problems. This is not something I find enjoyable, and I can't think of anyone who would think this is a good idea.
    The big bad in each game has always been really evil bastards (warlords, generals, etc.). You know, really evil guys. In part 4 it's a guy who's a bit sad that the Drake brothers didn't want to join his team. So that part of the story was also a letdown.
    The final letdown was the ending; as this is the final installment of the series I hoped for a really cool ending, but it was just meh.

    1) repetitive climbing and looking for crates.
    2) most of the climbing and jumps don't seem ideal for Nathan to do, but he does them.
    3) Sam is useless as he will just stand around and wait for you to come up with a plan on how to get over a structure. In the beginning of the game Sam just stood by Victor's car and LITERALLY WATCHED me get shot at. I was like what are you doing man, help a brother out! Sam is kind of dumb when engaging combat as he will just run out while the enemy is still firing.
    4) NO SPRINT! There have been many times where i am like now would be a good time to sprint, but the designers decided to leave it out for some reason.
    5) Going stealth mode in this game is lame as there was no crouch, no silent pistol and no whistling. Eventually i just gave up on stealth mode and just started firing at everybody.
    4) the vehicle controls aren't that great.
    5) This game got very boring at times just because the amount of land I had to cover and also the amount of climbing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This review will be edited since I didn't play the multiplayer yet.

    U2 : classic multiplayer where every had the same weapon with the addition of Cod4 perks. Was fun and balanced
    U3: Was a mix of the classic multiplayer with a basic loadout system. 3 weapons in total each with its pros and cons but they never overpowered each other. In addition there were powerups you could buy with score points u earn during each match. Fun but too much unbalaned in many aspects.
    U4: Goes fully loadout system and ditches away the classic style completely. This makes a nice Cod balance. What's a Cod balance ? Huehue, it's your typical unbalaned mutliplayer were some guns outshine others. They also overblowed the power-ups with ridicilous things like bots that are just playing annoying and other BS I hate. Overall , mediocre multiplayer.

    Survival Mode - in U3 , this mode was fun for casuals and those who wanted to kill time with friends.
    I don't know how ND manage to screw this up but SM is even worse.
    FPS is around 25-30 (regular multiplayer is 60, the f*ck?) and the enemy waves from level 6 are ridicilously hard to defeat.
    You will face 90% armores soldiers with half of them carrying power-up weapons. Or worse 4 armored hunters. WTF ? I barely passred even one in normal difficulty.

    Overall ? U4 was consumed by misfortone. So long Drake :(

    Anywho ,let's review the story mode:
    I played U2 and U3 and they all had crazy stories with fun characters to play with.
    A lot of cinematic moments and "UH CRAP, don't fall".
    U4 brings something new to the table. I.E. ,New concepts like realistic movement and a-lot of narrative.
    The story goes somewhat good but always pushes aside the creativity of gameplay mechanics.
    - Nadine 1st and 2nd boss fight are just scripted cutscenes where ,of course, the male hero gets beat up with his brother.
    - The last boss fight with Rafe is just an annoying trial and error when trying to know which side he swings his damn sword with he's goofy animations.
    - And of course, just like Gears of War 4, lots of unnecessary "lift that block to get across" **** 'cause narrative is now more important.
    - The main attraction of the game is fighting enemies both guns blazing and stealthily. However, beware that the game is more enjoyable in normal mode and below. I played of hard and for the most part, I was behind cover
    - One annoying thing I've to mention is how all enemies react when getting shot. They always flip all over the place and wave around their bodies while getting back to cover after one bullet. It's okay if it was a sneaky and smart enemy type. But the thing is that EVERYONE-DOES-THIS. Even the heavy guys are waving they bodies when you take off their damn helmets, making them harder to kill while enemies swarm you from all sides. Where's the mind for the gameplay? Uh yea, forgotten! because now story is 1st priority over gameplay.. in a video game... great job Neil-Druckmann you amazed in TLOU but slowly become more obsessed with "diversity" and emotional narrative even when it comes to a game all about being an Indiana Jones wannabe.
    - But let's keep in balanced. The rope mechanic is by far, a welcomed feature that is actually used for fighting (well at least in normal mode).
    - Graphics amazing, yay...
    - Do I've anything more to say, nay!
    The real meat of the game will be the multiplayer of course, since **** narrative priorities can't be transported over a fun online match.    … Expand

Shooting is completely the same, other games do it much more better. Boring for most of the time, frustrating at some other parts. Puzzles were also ridiculous, trivial without leaving any sense of achievement for the player. And finally the story; another cheese-cliche infected storyline with soooo many plot holes. Its ok to write something like this in 2007, but lack of evolution means that in 2016 the result will be childish. The only categories in which the game stands out are the technical; graphics and sound are very good, especially graphics when you take into account the platform.

Alright, the game itself is very good. The storytelling and dialogue is very natural and the new characters are very good (Nadine and Sam. Rafe was unlikable, but that's the point anyways...). The start is slow for the story to settle in, so it doesn't feel like Sam was shoehorned in. It picks up during Madagascar. The number of QTEs are not as much as The Order 1886 as many claim to be. It's around the same number as The Last of Us. The graphics of the game is an achievement, especially on the limited PS4 hardware, and the character models with really good facial deformation gives the acting the much-needed nuance. The gameplay is the same as previous games but more refined. A lot of fanboys would argue that it's the same gameplay and not innovative. And I ask them, which AAA titles have they played that is innovative in this day and age. I loved The Witcher 3, but it's the same mechanics as its predecessor. Only innovation we'll probably get is out of indie games. The rope is an okay addition, because I didn't use it much in combat.
    In conclusion, if you like the UC series, the ending is amazing and you'll feel for the characters. Even if you're new, you'll still like it a lot.
    Performance wise, the start has few frame drops. But other than that, it's very stable and locked 30 fps.

    Uncharted 4 is a dumb action/adventure movie in video game form. This is great if you like movies like Indiana Jones - just don't expect the story to be as good.

    I'm primarily interested in a good story, so my review score is primarily based on that. Lets get the other things out of the way first. It's obvious that graphics are a primary focus in this game. Textures, characters, and    Uncharted 4 is a dumb action/adventure movie in video game form. This is great if you like movies like Indiana Jones - just don't expect the story to be as good.

    I'm primarily interested in a good story, so my review score is primarily based on that. Lets get the other things out of the way first.

    It's obvious that graphics are a primary focus in this game. Textures, characters, and the world are some of the best on PS4, if you don't mind 30fps. And if you squint your eyes a bit (or have a small tv), things can even pass as being real.

    The gameplay cycle normally goes like this: You get a story cut-scene where your characters decide to go somewhere, you get automatically transported close to that place where you have to use your super-human rock-climbing skills (and sometimes crate-pushing skills) to make it to your final destination, and along the way, you have to murder groups of 5-15 bad guys. Repeat 50 times until the game says it's over.

    The gameplay-story cohesion isn't very good with this one and I'd say it's the biggest plot hole. Why do I, my brother, my wife, and some old man that follows me around all have super-human rock-climbing skills? Why do the bad guys always instantly know who I am and open fire on immediately upon sight? Why don't the bad guys act like normal humans and talk to me first before trying to kill me? And how did all of those bad guys, vehicles, and other equipment get to places that I had to rock-climb and Indiana-jones swing to get to and from? It's all quite video-gamey.

    I like at how near the end of the game, someone comments about how many of the bad guys were killed. Yes, you single-handedly kill about a thousand of them. I suppose this is fine because this game is catering to people who are used to shooting guys in video games, but it's just another thing that distracts from the story immersion.

    The action sequences in the game are some of the best I've seen. They're like your typical impossible movie action hero sequences where you escape a collapsing/exploding building, all while 100 people are shooting at you. For the most part, they consist of quick time events, but I can't think of a better way to do them.

    The game has disposable (although pretty) environments. After you rock-climb or shoot your way through them, you never see them again. You're constantly on the move in the story, so this makes sense. But I do feel bad about the amount of work put into things that you see for only 30 seconds.

    The story is slightly below average when compared to the multitude of stupid action adventure movies out there. It's right up your alley if you love Indiana Jones-type movies with slight conspiracies and mysteries. It has the typical plot holes for these kinds of movies, and then some, because it's not quite as coherent as a normal movie and it has to deal with all of the video-gamey mechanics on display. You're basically on a quest to find a pirate's lost treasure and need to go around the world looking for the trail and clues to bring you to your next spot. And of course, the bad guys are normally ahead of you the entire time (so you have someone to shoot at along the way). This of course leads up to a climatic ending where there's lots of fire, explosions, and destruction because that's how stupid action adventure movies are supposed to end.

    I played though this because I wanted to see what the majority of people thought was a good game these days (and because it was $7). It met my expectations exactly and it was quite the average experience. It's for lovers of stupid action-adventure movies and not for those seeking unique or amazing masterpieces in storytelling.

Art, sound, animations, and cutscenes are excellent all around. The cast deliver superb voice and mocap performances. The story involves Nathan Drake going on one more adventure to look for pirate treasure, in an effort to save his older brother Sam. Typical Uncharted fare, though the addition of Nate's brother and the exploration of Nate's relationship with his wife Elena helped bring some depth to a main character that's always been fairly generic. The antagonists this time around were not as compelling as previous games. The character Nadine in particular felt like a "badass chick" trope that was thrown in to appease the feminists. The game itself was too long, and could have been 14 chapter game instead of 20. There were some overly long walk and talk sections, and many of the platforming sections started to repeat themselves. The gameplay remains a mix of combat with platforming and some puzzle solving. There are also some new Tomb Raider style mechanics in the pickaxe and the grapple rope. The platforming and puzzles are the series biggest strengths, and they are showcased well in this game.

    Now on to the big bad of the game, and indeed the series in general: the combat. It's awful. All the worst aspects of the combat in 2 and 3 have been retained and amplified. First of all, the aiming. The camera controls have this weird acceleration lag that makes trying to aim at enemies a chore. This is exacerbated by the aim-down-sights sensitivity, which is way too high, even on a setting of 0. If you do manage to get your reticule on an enemy, they go into a little dodge animation that moves them to the left or to the right. If wrestling with the camera controls wasn't enough, they have to throw an extra curveball with this ridiculous dodge animation that requires you to adjust your aim a second time. When you do hit them, they play an exaggerated stagger animation that once again throws off your aim. The overall effect of all these compounding issues is a gunplay experience that is frustrating and not fun.

    Playing on anything above normal turns enemies into sniping machines. They know exactly where you are at all times, even after you've broken line of sight with them. And the grenade spam... there hasn't been this much grenade spam since Call of Duty: World at War. Enemies are able to throw grenades with pinpoint accuracy, and at distances that exceed what is allowed for the player. Taking cover and dodge are bound to the same button. The game will often do one instead of the other, leading to many unintended deaths in gunfights. Your NPC teammates are useless. They frequently use up the best cover available. If you do share cover with them, they will push you out into the open or obscure your aim. The only thing they're good for is occasionally picking off an already weakened enemy.

    So there it is, Uncharted 4. 6/10. A solid entry in the series with high production values and an enjoyable story, dragged down by it's gameplay ambitions and terrible combat.    … Expand

    Stating that the forthcoming game will be the last rendezvous with a popular, charismatic hero is a rare phenomenon. I congratulate Naughty Dog on their courage and in spite of myself keep my fingers crossed for them to stick to their decision. The farewell party they threw for Nate is simply spectacular. This is how I want to remember him, not as an old man who rubbed his joints with pain cream and then found a UFO. Uncharted 4 is a brilliant game and a breathtaking demonstration of what PS4 is capable of. [07/2016, p.56]

    Whiteknuckle action, captivating characters, and luscious locales - the best Uncharted yet. [June 2016, p.64]
