    Game I did not like the plot. It's just a copy story U2 and U3 of the game. Graphically, the game is very good. A lot of the game have to climb, it is tedious and not interesting.

    Most of the reviews for this title seem to concentrate on how the game looks, rather than the experience. There is no doubt it looks stunning, even though some people might criticise the game for running at 30fps, it feels smooth throughout. There is absolutely no doubt the game is a well crafted and a lot of time and passion has gone into giving the series it's final chapter.

There is no doubt it looks stunning, even though some people might criticise the game for running at 30fps, it feels smooth throughout. There is absolutely no doubt the game is a well crafted and a lot of time and passion has gone into giving the series it's final chapter. My problems with the game is that it is just so underwhelming. Once the credits rolled I looked back on my adventure, compared it against others of the series and felt hollow. The large scale ridiculous set pieces that the Uncharted series is known for are unfortunately sparse. As a result, it fizzles, instead of bangs. A damp squib. On top of this, the puzzles aren't nearly as well crafted, often only taking a small amount of thought to solve. Most of the game revolves around climbing, walking and shooting, which although was exciting in previous adventures, feels frankly dated. The storyline (no spoilers) does excel, due to Naughty Dog reigning it in a little. With the last of us Naughty Dog have seemed to really hone excellent characterisation and some more poignant, sentimental moments. The same applies here. Overall, the story is not quite as ridiculous as the other games. This foot planted in an element of (far fetched) reality does give it the grounding it needs, but does make it a little dull as a result. It's a good game, enjoyable no doubt. Just don't expect to be as blown away as the critics make out.… Expand

    I cant say this game is better then uc2 but not deserving of a 10. Games crashed on me twice while playing and the hit decection is a little off all in all a good game not perfect. Multiplay is good but brings nothing new to the game feels tacked on.

    Not really my kind of game but gave it a try after my friend insisted me to play the series. The graphics are grate and the story was alright but the game play isn´t anything special and there is no reason for you to explore the maps except for maybe some trophy. No useful items or anything like that to be found. In that aspect this is quite a shallow experience for me, no depth at all.Not really my kind of game but gave it a try after my friend insisted me to play the series.

The gameplay literally never changes thing up (except for that part where you play a different game), and at least one part of it, the climbing, is a dull mind numb. The story is a throwaway, and the cinematics are overly long and boring. I couldn't find myself caring about the characters, because I disliked the repetitive gameplay so much. The twists in the story aren't predictable, but they are dumb. In hindsight, I still never would have guessed them, and, yet, I wasn't surprised in the least. I was more focused on finishing this chore than enjoying the ride.

    It is, however, an objectively good game. It's a beautiful environment, the voice acting is superb, and the world is huge. The multiplayer is great, and I've already put in half a day playing with friends. I enjoy the grind for rewards, as well as the PvP. There are some issues, like getting hung up on the map for a 5 or 6 seconds, but they are minimal and can be overlooked for great gameplay. I didn't expect to like the multiplayer more than the story for this game, though, and for that reason, it's a bit of a letdown.    … Expand

    Whilst you cant deny this is a nice looking game (the characters faces in particular are stunning) It all just boils down to another run of the mill run and gun jump and climb affair.

    Yes this is the standard fare for the Drakes Fortune games but I'm just finding it all rather samey.

    They use mechanics and moves copied from other games inside and outside the saga.

    Uncharted 4 è un bel gioco e la degna conclusione a una delle saghe che mi è piaciuta di più negli ultimi anni.
    Se vi aspettate che però metta un 10 come tutti i siti/riviste che vengono pagati per farlo o come i mocciosi che vogliono far vedere a tutti che i loro 70 euro sono valsi l'acquisto da qui all'eternità vi sbagliate di grosso.

    Tecnicamente è veramente incredibile: animazioni, espressioni, ambiente e fisica sono veramente meravigliose. I problemi secondo me arrivano quando però si gioca.
    Le fasi di combattimento sono migliorate e sono mooolto divertenti però... sono poche!
    Uncharted è stata sempre una saga fatta di sezioni adrenaliniche e combattimenti contro orde di mercenari incavolati che vogliono farci la pelle mentre, quest'ultimo capitolo, assomiglia molto più ad una passeggiata interattiva, purtroppo lo zampino di The last of us si sente lontano un miglio.
    I momenti adrenalinici sono solamente due, il resto sono solo enigmi (secondo me inferiori a quelli dei giochi precedenti) e luuuuunghe arrampicate sempre molto guidate.
    Si è voluto approfondire il carattere dei personaggi ma se ne sentiva realmente il bisogno? Alcune volte mi sembra che il videogiocatore di oggi voglia più vedersi i film che giocare e, certe volte, è meglio se comprasse un biglietto al cinema piuttosto che cercare "l'arte" ovunque.
    La storia è molto bella e interessante e i personaggi, seppur più coinvolti emotivamente rispetto ai capitoli precedenti, sono quelli che conosciamo da sempre.
    Il voto al gioco secondo me è 6, ma allora perchè mettere 7?
    Perchè il multiplayer è veramente carino ed è, a conti fatti, l'unico momento dove si gioca veramente ad uncharted ( e lo dice uno che ha schifato l'online del 2 e del 3).    … Expand

    -Graphics are inconsistent, again as if made by different studios. Some areas/levels look as good as anything I’ve seen, then others (some sections in Scotland etc.) look of a lower standard.

    Overall: I didn’t mind the slower pace, I love the Last of Us and at times UC4 played more like this, however the development issues showed in places. The ridiculous amount of climbing/platforming as opposed to the series trademark set pieces was disappointing. Overall I was ready to completely slam this, but they just about won me back with the last few hours and the excellent ending/epilogue.

    I was very intrigued when I first saw the trailers for this game: great graphics and this time around you even get to drive vehicles! But the driving parts of the game are very limited and you have to go exactly where the game wants you to go, there's no freedom to drive around as you wish.

    The hit and miss pieces can get a bit frustrating too, for instance you have to jump out of the car and grab a ledge just before falling to your death. It's all about trial and error, and try again... untill you know ahead of things what will happen and what you're supposed to do.

    The story of Uncharted 4 is nice, it tells you about what happened when Nathan was a kid, and near the end of the game Nathan's wife even joins him on his journey. I like how our action hero struggles with marriage and the b*tching of his wife, it almost makes him feel like a real human being.

    Uncharted 4 is still a good game and very well made indeed, but for me it feels like more of the same old stuff and there is really no replay value at all. Luckily there is also the online multi-player part which is rather enjoyable but lets face it, Uncharted is not the best shooter game around on PS4.    … Expand

    Good graphics, smooth controls, fun puzzles, and okay stories. However, the whole game dries out quickly after several chapters. Sure, climbing and sliding feel extremely fun at the beginning, but it gets tedious really fast. At some point of the game, I felt so underwhelmed that I almost gave up on the game because I don't want to climb over a freaking hill to progress the story line.

Often times your friendly AI will run out in front of the enemy without being noticed (thank god), or moonwalk while running into the enemy without attacking them...clearly rather than fix this, the devs just went with the choice of pretending the friendly AI doesn't exist in the eyes of the enemy. The enemy AI has no TRUE AI, they just simply adapt to what you are actually doing not what they should perceive what you are doing. Turning up the difficulty simply dials up their "spidey senses". Even when they should not know where you are, they know EXACTLY where you are and what direction you are looking no matter what. It's so bad and predictable I ended up using it to my advantage. When an enemy wouldn't come out of cover, I'd look away and then look back....guess who was standing there. The forced combat situations were horrendous and killed what was an otherwise great game.

    Overall the first 75% or so of the game was excellent, but towards the end of the game the story gets lost (the entire early plot of the game just gets lost and pushed to the side) and it seems like they then start relying on forced combat situations to "extend" the game. It feels cheap and they should have ended the game 25% earlier....if so, it'd be nearly a perfect game. Luckily, the game isn't meant to be a combat experience, but a narrative. In the narrative portions of the game, it shines, it's only when they cave to the forced combat filler that it really suffers. Fans of the series should play it....others should avoid it.

    Side note: This game is often compared to Rise of the Tomb Raider. For comparison, RotTR FAR exceeds UC4 from a gameplay perspective, so if gameplay is important to you, play RotTR. However, UC4 slightly edges out RotTR in story-telling/voice acting. It's the opinion of this reviewer that the scores on metacritic don't reflect this simply due to fanboy bias.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually & Technically decent, even gorgeous at some moments, but short, empty, repetitive and a bit boring.

    Looks so nice, like no other videogame currently at the market.
    Have great things, specialy the fast chasing moments.
    Many Little nice details here and there.

    But thats it, here the regular and bad things:

    1.- The game is very short and easy (Even in hard mode), is the kind of game apealing to the casual gamer and the poser wanting to show of theyr console or theyr TV.

    2.- The ending is incredible mediocre, empty and rushed, same happen to many other áreas.

    3.- Some misions are just giant pieces of map with few sprinckles of few little details here and there, it shows the lack of time, talent and compromise, just like MGS5, big dead areas with not so much to do.

    4.- Expect some bugs and chashing in certain áreas, the game is not so good polished at all.

    5.- The Main sites of Videogaming gave this title 10's and 9's, A lie must be a crime too with this kind of things, just like the case of No mans Sky, you cant recomend something mediocre to the people without consecuences, you cant lie and say or write that something is worthy when the truth is that this is about a 7-8 game, that may rise suspects about the critics geting payd to tell some lies.

    Bottom Line:
    If you are a experienced Gamer This is not a 9+ game, dont make your expectations so high with this one.

    By the other hand if you are new to the Uncharted series or new at PlayStation consoles then give it a try, but waith until the current Price drops and get it in resale, this is not a $60 product.    … Expand

The Ps4 is after all, one of the most popular gaming consoles out there, and treasured by most game developers. (leaving the PC out of this) I was also surprised to see that the popular game, Uncharted 4 came with it. I didn’t know much about that game, except it had amazing graphics on the ps4, and that it was the ending of a certain series. So, my mom and grandparents bought me the first three games.
    As I was playing the first game, I realized it was also kind of practice for me to learn how to use the controller. It didn’t take long for me to become an adept button masher, but there’s still times I hesitate and fail the game. Since I started with the Xbox 360 console, the ps4 controller is a bit harder to figure out. I’m more use to pressing B than a red circle. But having a frustrating controller isn’t the worst. I’m able to tolerate it because of the distracting game graphics. I mean, the second game looked as if it came out in 2013 rather than 2009.
    A few of the games I own now have multiplayer. The fact that both the console developers and game developers were able to lap something so amazing into one, stunned me. The visuals, being able to communicate with other people you can relate to, and a clear frame rate with almost no glitches and lags.
    I’m finally happy to have upgraded to ps4, but still a little upset that I had to leave all the progress I made on my xbox. The ps4 is worth it, and I can tell there are still amazing games waiting to be played. I can finally play with my friends and better my gaming skills. I encourage those pc gamers to give the console a shot, and extend their game options. And of course I recommend the ps4 to any and every person with opposable thumbs.

    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 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 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

    It is incredibly well made. Production quality is off the charts, art direction, graphics, animations, sound, everything is top notch.

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

    My gripes with the game are the same as they've always been with this franchise. Its B-movie Indiana Jones blockbuster aesthetic makes me feel like I've been hanging out on a Hollywood film set for 16 hours rather than truly transported to some exotic locale, as I did with the Tomb Raider series.

    The gameplay, while fluid and polished to perfection, is starting to grow a little stale. It's a good hodge podge of tried-and-true elements of a contemporary action game, with free running, stealth, cover shooting and just a bit of physics based platforming thrown in for good measure. While it suffers a bit from that on-rails feeling of these linear, narrative-driven games, it does offer a couple of different paths through each section to give the player some agency.

    In all though, only the updated grappling hook / rope felt fresh to this programmer's thumbs. Compared to the graphical innovations, a lot of these gameplay elements felt archaic. One hopes for the day when such colossal technical and artistic labor is in service to gameplay that's more interesting than "press x a lot to climb this building and be sure to shoot all the bad guys in the head."    … Expand

    Music & Sound: The music is pretty good with a couple of standout tracks, though the absence of the main theme from the previous three entries is odd, to say the least. The sounds are also pretty good all around, though not The Last of Us level.
    Gameplay: Uncharted 4's gameplay is pretty on par with previous installments: it's fine. It has never been a series standout, though it is serviceable. However one big setback in this game are the setpieces. In true honesty I can only remember three of them (and they were great) which is a real shame coming from the amazing bombastic ones seen in Uncharted 2 and 3, and that had become a series staple. Unfortunately the puzzles are very easy and the stealth is not quite optimal. The car, rope and ladder where all good new additions to the franchise.
    Story: Now this is the game biggest downfall. While the dialogue and moment to moment is fantastic, the overall narrative does leave a sour taste in my mouth. The decision to put Sam as the center of the story, an entirely new chatacter who is basically Nathan 2.0, instead of giving more room for Elena and Sully to shine is a real shame. Instead we get a not-so-interesting brother's tale, instead of focusing more on the much more interesting story of Nate and Elena's new struggles as a couple or the theme of giving it all up presented by Sully. That's not to say the game doesn't touch on those subjects, it's just that it prefers to give center stage to the least interesting of them. However the brief time we do get with Sully, and specially with Elena, is gold, which makes it even harder to then go back to Sam. Also the revelations about Nathan's past are a neat adition aswell. I'd also like to point out how completely unnecesary the epilogue is, and how much better it would've been without it. Another problem I have is not necesarily aimed at the game but to the marketing. All trailers and gameplays sugested at a darker uncharted, which turns out to be completely wrong, as it takes the light-hearted nature of the previous games, which made me really disapointed considering the expectations that had been set. I do really seem overly negative about the game, but don't fool yourselves: this is premium storytelling, better than almost all of the games on the market.
    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a masterclass in technical achievement, even if it's story can't quite keep up with its visuals and sounds.

For example when a building is crumbling and explosions are going off around you you know you can just push forward and press x to jump out of the way of any danger. At times I could predict that when I leaped to a platform it would break leaving drake hanging on for dear life, this caused a heart attack in the first game but now is utterly predictable.

    The QTE slows the game down and often gets in the way of any fluidity. The QTE in the boss battle just wasn't fun at all.

    Combat works well and I actually wanted more in the game as it felt you never really got into a good fight. The game wasn't challenging and some times I felt myself pushing on just to beat it and not out of fun.

    This could all be down to fatigue, the same thing happend with GOD of War. These are great last Gen games but don't fit with the modern consoles. PS4 needs a fresh IP for ps4.

    But the game was a nice little farewell to uncharted (although they removed the mystical elements that became a part of the series, even hinting at 'Ghost pirates' that we never got to see).

    So I'm glad this is the last Uncharted (it took way too long to end! I think there was three endings, like Lord of the rings! The Last Of Us is the game that Naughty Dog rightly are focusing on next and after the brilliant first game I think it's the right direction for them to move in.

    Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed most of the game but because it's such a short game compared to the real greats of this gen Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 and Witcher 3, it seems a lot to pay full price for 12 hours gameplay.

    Multiplayer is terrible and always has been in the series and is just tacked on to please casual gamers who want a bit of online fun.

    But Uncharted 4 truly is a AAA. It does look amazing and there was only one or two bugs I experienced playing. Controls work perfectly, combat is perfect and the music score is brilliant. It's the equivalent of a Summer Blockbuster big, good looking action but not much else.

    The story (although just a modern Goonies!) works well and left me satisfied.

    A lot of work clearly went into this game, and it really does look amazing! Vehicle sections are cool, climbing in the later levels is awesome in fact the last part of the game is phenomenal apart from the boss battle.

    So it is far from perfect, but still a solid game. The weakest in the series next to UC3 (UC1 and 2 are still the best by far) but still high enough quality to have at least one fun play-through.

    Buy it, but trade it two days later!    … Expand

    Some gameplay aspects could've been better, like infiltration phases that feel unrealistic most of the time.
    There are certain moments of the story that are too predictable, but in general the scenario is good.

    Multiplayer mode, which runs at 60fps, is therefore less good-looking and is very basic. All of my friends who played U4 almost ignored it.

    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.

    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. If there is another major entry in the series it needs a complete overhaul and an acknowledgement that game mechanics have no es on since 2007.

    Conflicting game: fun, I say to myself, but also noticeably imperfect for all the critic fanfare about it. The game is repetitive, not in a minute way that you notice frequently, but in bigger chunks - almost every grouping of 3 or 4 chapters includes a vehicle part, then a big puzzle, a shootout and an escape. The escapes are also pretty predictable - see a bridge? It'll collapse, andConflicting game: fun, I say to myself, but also noticeably imperfect for all the critic fanfare about it. The game is repetitive, not in a minute way that you notice frequently, but in bigger chunks - almost every grouping of 3 or 4 chapters includes a vehicle part, then a big puzzle, a shootout and an escape. The escapes are also pretty predictable - see a bridge? It'll collapse, and you'll get separated from your partner and have to find your own way up.

    In a series way it follows many of the same tropes: you get a lead which turns out to be a clue that takes you somewhere else that takes you somewhere else and on and on until eventually it just is the spot you were looking for. It was a nice break that they didn't try to include the stupid supernatural thing they always seem to push.

    The story is... fine. Initially it seems pretty exciting, albeit similar to previous games, but not boring. As time goes on the game takes a shot at a lofty "greed-destroys-all-partnerships" allegory, but its conclusion is not as impactful as it could have been. Not to mention the waning hours when you really just want to be done with the game but it drags you on about 2 hours start to focus on the awkward breakdown of Nathan and Elena's marriage, which maybe could pan out in a movie, but in an action game more akin to funny quips and light dialogue it seems very out of place.

    I started to get really irritated with the game after about ten hours. They try to mix shooting with platforming to make it more exciting? I think? But what really ends up happening is that you focus on one or the other and the other one kills you; if you try to move into position to shoot you get shot and if you shoot too much you end up awkwardly jumping off of a cliff to your death. Additionally, some of the final exploration or quicktime platforming is either vague or so subtle that you'll almost definitely miss your cues and wander around or die immediately, ruining the tension of the moment.

    When I think about it, there were lots of things I didn't like: combat is included pretty lightly and sporadically but is extremely difficult; in most cases you're much better off running about doing stealth kills than trying to fight, the platforming gets really old pretty quickly and becomes more of an obstacle to you making your objective than an enjoyable part of the game and the storytelling is just pretty been-there-done-that. On the other hand, the game does drive you along and make you want to finish it, the graphics are great, the load times are good, the characters interact in interesting ways and there are some good setpiece moments that make you feel the spark. Ultimately I feel like I played this game because I liked the other ones and Naughty Dog was mostly right that I would play this one.    … Expand

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.

    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

    Probably one of the most beautiful games in the PS4 generation let down by frustrating gun play and a campaign about 4 hours too long.

    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

    The story felt dragged on, and the climbing, platforming got very boring by the end. Almost all the maps felt very artificial, which kind of ruined the immersion for me, you could feel the design thinking behind them. The puzzles were very lame and and too simple.

    U4 is completely unnecessary, and in my opinion unwelcome, but it still held most of the good aspects of the previous games. The storyline of brotherhood was beautifully done, but it was frustrating that that was seemingly the only reasoning behind this game: a character that didn't exist before, but did now so that Naughty Dog could pop out another game in the extremely popular franchise.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.

    Beautiful looking game with great sound effects, animations and face motion capture but I really hated the cheesy script and story. It was all too childish and trying to be funny. Like a cross between Indiana Jones and the end reminded me of The Goonies movie.

    The little gameplay (most of the game is cheesy cutscenes) there is, was mostly dull and unsatisfying.

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

    Improved graphics and an attempt at a story with character arcs and such (although it is quite bland and predictable) make it a good addition to the series, but it cannot match Uncharted 2. A pretty solid action game, but a bit too long for what it has to offer.

    Uncharted 4 is a landmark title that anyone remotely interested in interactive storytelling should invest in. Naughty Dog has once again raised the bar across the industry. Thrilling shootouts, a staggering level of detail, breathtaking visuals and emotional depth come together to make Uncharted 4: A Thief's End a must-play masterpiece.

    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]
