    This is some next level storytelling. The characters are all so well portrayed and the pacing is incredible. It takes you on an insane globe-trotting adventure that you hope never ends. And that epilogue..... WOW.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (10)Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    I went through Uncharted 1-3 before the release of Uncharted 4 all at once and glad I did because it helped me appreciate the Character building between the characters. If I hadn’t played through the old games, I don’t think I would have enjoyed Uncharted 4 as much as I did. I liked that they got away from the supernatural elements, tidied up the endless waves of enemies, and improved the gun play/controls from the past games. What made this game a masterpiece to me was how well the characters were written and how there relationship grew..    … Expand

    Awesome game, maybe not the best of the series, it has it's high and lows rather than having it progressive in Uncharted 2.
    You must play this game.

    Uncharted 4 Review in 2023 (no story spoilers)

Today Uncharted 4 is still one of the best. Early on Nate is living a ‘normal’ life after retiring from    Uncharted 4 Review in 2023 (no story spoilers)

    At the time in 2016 when Uncharted 4 was released worldwide it was a genre defining game and a huge step up from not only its previous entry in the series ‘Uncharted 3 Drake's Deception’ but a huge leap in the action adventure genre. Today Uncharted 4 is still one of the best.

    Early on Nate is living a ‘normal’ life after retiring from treasure hunting but in need of help, his long lost brother Sam Drake persuades Nate to come out of retirement to help him find the pirate treasure of Henry Avery. From there Nathan & Sam Drake embark on a challenging and epic journey to track down the long lost treasure of Henry Avery.

    Adventuring through each section of the game is so enjoyable and truly unforgettable. The level design is truly next level. Exploring the many locations of the game was remarkable and memorable. One moment you’ll be exploring, climbing with a little parkour, solving puzzles, fighting enemies, playing through some of the most iconic moments in a video game ever, and listening in on key conversations.

    Each area of the game you can explore looking for collectibles such as journal notes that tell you its own story. The game is filled with a bunch of hidden secrets that have a meaning behind them. Uncharted 4 has much larger scaled areas to explore than the previous three games in the series by a mile. Climbing is a very frequent maneuver you will perform a lot during the game. Some areas you traverse will leave you in awe. Puzzles are nothing new when it comes to Uncharted, they are never difficult but are quite fun and creative. You will encounter a wide variety of enemies making some encounters more difficult than others. It will be up to you how you handle certain encounters. Do you wanna go loud and proud or do it quietly? And when I talk about iconic I mean it, Uncharted 4 has some of the most epic and iconic moments ever in a game. It will make you want to come back and keep revisiting these moments. Playing Uncharted 4 is truly an experience.

    STORY: The story is very deep and thrilling, the dialogue is funny and entertaining throughout. A lot of emotions are brought out in the characters, making them feel real. Character development is a big focus, you will learn a lot about the characters the more you play even some of the more minor characters. As the player, during my first play through I felt very connected and on edge at times not knowing what could happen. The game is very well paced and has a nice flow. A little detail to note that I love is how Nate makes funny comments while in combat or at times you will find him talking to himself.

    GAMEPLAY: The gunplay in Uncharted 4 feels very natural and smooth, not janky at all. You have a wide range of weapons you can use from pistols, long guns and your heavy weapons such as RPGs. Don’t forget you got your grenades as well. A new gameplay feature that was introduced into the game is the grapple hook, which is one of my favorite features in the game. The grapple hook can be used to swing from one platform to another or you can use it in combat to take out enemies from above (it never gets old). Swinging in the air above enemies then jumping on them and eliminating them is tons of fun. For more fun while hanging from the rope you can shoot enemies or toss a grenade, might make aiming more hard but it’s worth it.

    Melee combat is smoother than ever and has some of the most badass animations including team takedowns.

    A huge improvement by far in Uncharted 4 from the previous games is stealth. Stealth is a game changer and ultimately satisfying. You can use tall grass to hide from enemies and use it as a way to hide bodies that way the enemy won’t know of your presence therefore will not call for backup. You can also hide on the side of a cliff hanging below an enemy waiting for the right moment to throw the enemy off. While in stealth if you get spotted and enemies start shooting you you can always try and hide to go back into stealth. An excellent new addition to stealth is the alert indicator and the ability to mark enemies which furthers the advancement of stealth.

    GRAPHICS: Graphically the game is breathtaking in every single part of the game. It’s a very beautiful and impressive game, especially for it being released when it was. The amount of little details in the game makes it even more insane. Visually the game looks very alive and realistic.

    The soundtrack is fantastic, I love it! It feels very adventurous if that makes sense.

    The voice acting is top tier! Having Troy Baker and Nolan North together is just superb.

    After playing through Uncharted 4 at least ten times (I lost count) it always impresses me each time and leaves me hoping for another adventure with Nathan Drake. Naughty Dog never disappoints. Uncharted 4 is my second favorite game of all time.

    Uncharted 4 is a masterpiece and a milestone in gaming.

Whether you're looking for satifying storytelling, tense multiplayer, or a grand, treasure hunting adventure Uncharted 4 delivers. To make things even better it does so with some of the best graphics on the market.

    Uncharted 4 is a gorgeous game. Naughty Dog has crafted some absolutely stunning scenery. The attention to detail in character animations and the the destruction of the game's set pieces make this a treat for the eyes. It's also a treat for the ears as well thanks to the excellent soundtrack and voice acting. The acting performances in this game required to bring the story and characters to life rival anything you can see on the big screen.

    The story itself is an emotional ride. Seeing all these familiar faces again tugs at the heartstrings. Naughty fills the game with sweet moments between Drake and his brother, Elena, and even Sully. It serves as a powerful reminder as to why we fell in love with these characters in the first place. Naughty Dog manages to bring a satisfying conclusion to Drake's adventures.

    From the gameplay side of things, everything is just as you would expect. Uncharted's mix of platforming, 3rd person cover shooting, and puzzle solving is still in place. This time around the environments are bigger leading to even more options in combat and more complex traversal scenarios. The only real change to Nate's parkour side is that now he has access to a grappling rope that allows him to do things like swing across large gaps. There are plenty of moments where you'll have to string it together with various other actions adding a little more spice to the standard platforming. Combat can get a little frustrating here and there thanks to enemies that have no problem bum rushing you. My favorite addtion to the gameplay has got to be the added emphasis on vehicles. Riding around the open (and gorgeous) Madagascar level and attacking various enemy outposts brought back fine memories of Halo. Looks like Sony might have taken a little inspiration from Microsoft's biggest series.

    The multiplayer proves to be the best in the series yet. Tighter shooting, a nice selection of modes to set it apart, and excellent maps ensure for a satisfying competitive experience. The variety of tools you have at your disposal are great. The in-match currency you from things like kills allows you to have access to them in a way that feels fair and reasonable. The way the maps make use of the series' platforming mechanics allow for an even wider range of possibilities in combat. Players who take the time to learn everything are sure to be rewarded.

    There's also a solid survival mode that's been added to the game since release. It doesn't really do anything different than your average horde mode clone, but it's still a decent distraction and genuinely rewards teamwork. Plus it comes with it's own set of trophies. It's a nice, if fairly unoriginal edition.

    Overall Uncharted 4 is an excellent fairwell to Nathan Drake. Whether or not the series continues on from here with a new protagonist, Naughty Dog ensured that they sent of their original hero with a bang. It's not likely to disappoint fans and is a huge exclusive for the PS4. While not revolutionary, it's still a game that pulls out all the stops. Proving sometimes familiarity isn't a bad thing. At least not when it's executed this well.    … Expand

    I hated the first 3 games, but Uncharted 4 was pretty amazing.

The best part of the game was the story, for me it felt more like one of those walking simulators, where you just take in the surroundings and enjoy the story. It was a story I could actually enjoy as well, which is rare for these types of games, the characters were amazing ad the animation made it s believable. Rise of the Tomb Raider just never hit home for me because everyone looks so dead eyed while talking to each other.

    I tried to play through the first three games recently and I still hate them, I don't think they were good games. However Uncharted 4 fixes most of the issues I had and then just excels immensely with the story. The only thing I can pick at the game for is how you have to keep giving boosts when you've jumped further than that, you have to keep finding the same looking box with wheels to get up places. Also another weird thing is how you have to keep lifting fallen beams to get through passages, when you can easily fit around three people through at once.

    Amazing experience, but I do wish the Neo came before it as you can tell where they cut the corners.. mainly on the character shadows. There is also this weird effect where everything looks like it is made out of thousands of dots, that fades in and out even when objects are really close, like they had to work aggressively on the LoD to get it to look as good as it does on the PS4.    … Expand

    Is Uncharted 4 the most groundbreaking Uncharted game in the series? In short, no. But is it the best Uncharted game? Absolutely.

It totally blew me away. Whether it was the train sequence through the jungle ending in the snowy Himalayas to the helicopter scene in Nepal, nothing can match the innovation in Uncharted 2.

    Uncharted 4 doesn't really offer anything new per se. It's a lot of rehash (not necessarily a bad thing). Because it was released 5 years later on a more updated console I did expect more. I expected creativity, ideas, and innovation. We didn't really get that here. I was kind of let down by that.

    First off, it's sad to see so many negative user reviews on here, calculating a 7.8 score, and one that people will look at thinking people hate it worse than Uncharted 1-3 (which have higher scores). Of course, this is obviously down to a mixture of sheer jealously from Xbox fanboys as well the usual trolls who don't know what a good game is/are just being stupid.

    Uncharted is definitely my favourite gaming series and I can honestly say that Uncharted 4 does a great job in being another stellar installment of the franchise, whilst ending the story of Nathan Drake. Whilst I do prefer Uncharted 2 by a slight margin overall, mainly due to its pacing and plot, Uncharted 4 does come a fair second in terms of the big step-up from the slight disappointment that was Uncharted 3. The story, as ever, is still very engaging and all the characters, both old and new, are fun to watch and practically all fleshed out to a satisfactory degree. The levels are longer and more expansive, and whilst definitely not open-world, they're still far from being linear and a good choice to make for this current gaming generation. My only gripe would be that looking back they could almost be too long, especially when compared to those in the previous games, adding to the game's run time of what took me 17 hours. But as it's Uncharted, the game as a whole does a good job of making you forget about its length (and anyone who grows bored of it early on isn't clearly suited to what the series offers). Gameplay-wise, it's improved by quite a wide margain from 3 as you'd expect, with more impressive-climbing sections, as well as the addition of Nate's grappling hook which certainly makes things more exciting, especially when used in combat. When you do engage in fighting off enemies, gunplay noticeably packs a bit more punch than usual and it's nice to see the little things added into the game like the addition of crosshairs turning red so you know the enemy in cover you've just shot is definitely dead. Stealth has been amplified too so it's turned into more of a basic version of MGSV mixed with Assassin's Creed, meaning enemies have an "aware bar" above their heads, for example. And thankfully you can now take out entire areas of enemies stealthily, which is something that was never possible in previous ND games. In terms of the graphics and visuals, Uncharted 4 stands heads and tails above anything else, with character models looking and reacting very realistically, and at times you can't help but stop to gaze at the gorgeous scenery in the game, before taking a range of in-game snapshots to save. It's definitely the most beautiful game I've played, and without spoiling anything, you'll be treated to a good variety of different environments on Nate's globe-trotting adventure. Audio-wise, this was my only real gripe with the game. It was made by a different composer other than Greg Edmonson, and you can tell if you've played the others. There are less of the pulse-pounding and thrilling soundtracks from 2 and 3, however this was probably intentional as 4 is the last chapter in the series and they were aiming for a more melancholy feel. That, and the fact the full rendition of Nate's Theme is non-existing (for the same reason I'm sure). Nevertheless, where the music picks up in some of the action sequences, it does a very good job of it.
    Overall, I feel Uncharted 4 is the perfect end to Nate's story and another brilliant chapter in the Uncharted franchise. Whilst I think it falls short of Uncharted 2 in one or two aspects, everything else has been improved to a satisfactory degree and fans of the series will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    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.

    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]
