Четвёртая часть гораздо нерасторопнее предыдущих (что многие рецензенты признают, но, почему-то, определяют как достоинство: мол, есть время полюбоваться пейзажами). В итоге сразу после финальных титров в памяти остаются только трогательно ностальгический пролог на чердаке и эпизод с погоней на внедорожниках, заспойлеренный разработчиками задолго до релиза. Ну ещё разве что ползанье по уступам на необитаемом острове - первый за всю серию затянутый и раздражающий эпизод. В контексте огромного количества ярких воспоминаний, связанных со второй и третьей частями франшизы, ситуация нелепая.… Expand

    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

    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.

    Lots of walking and climbing, little in the way of action. And when you finally get to the action, it's not nearly as satisfying as it was in The Last of Us. This game's greatest strength is its story. When it comes to the game, it's not up to snuff. The graphics do look tremendous, at least.

    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.

    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. But hey, everyone needs to start somewhere..    … Expand

A globe trotting adventure filled with wonder, mystery and excitement like Indiana Jones was going to turn into a chase movie called National Treasure. Yes, some of the action sequences were very well crafted and amazing to play through. Uncharted 4 was the most technically polished installment and a sight to behold in the whole franchise. However, it was the pacing of the story in the third act that dragged it down like a 4x4 jeep struggling through thick mud.

    The problem was the developers were trying to duplicate their success in The Last of Us. They tried to make it more gritty and realistic, this sucked out the wonder and discovery that were the hallmarks of the series. Think of a Survivor Island type reality show where ordinary people were at each other's throats for a shot at fame and fortune. Nothing more, nothing less. No wonder, no mystery.

    The third act was filled with repetitive environmental puzzles and endless CoD inspired battles of A.I. grenade spamming and cheap enemy sniper kills. The end of the story was nearly in sight, but it felt like the developers were trying to prolong the playtime and it felt like a slog.

    If you are long time fan of the Uncharted series and you are a completionist, Uncharted 4 still entertains as it does have its moments. However, it is a beautiful view with an empty hole in the ground where the hear and soul of the series has been long dug out.    … Expand

    Simply amazing graphics fail to make up for the hollow characters, predictable plot line, simple puzzles, and linear in-game play.

    At no point of the game is there any real suspense despite a harder than average difficulty setting. All cliff climbing (about 25%) of the game could be complete by a small child. A real disappointment following The Last of Us which was superb. Would not buy.

    Now it's really hard to say when this whole thing went to hell. At some point the stealth/action segments became boring and repetitive especially since the enemy AI is unbelievably dumb. The whole jumping/grappling mechanic was pretty much useless from the start and becomes very stale soon and rather annoying towards the end. figuring out your way towards the next objective or the puzzles, which are easy for the most part are a total waste of time. why would companies fill their AAA games with stuff that's simply not fun to do?
    As the game progressed the story and dialogue deteriorated as well giving us the shallow, insipid equivalent of a run-of-the-mill action blockbuster. By chapter 17 (there's 22)I just wanted to finish this damn game and be done with it. There are some fun elements to this one, but they're few and far between.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here are some thoughts from a screenwriter's perspective.

    + amazing, at times unbelievable, visuals and sets. Well done, Naughty Dog!

    - Way too much climbing. It's become a climbing simulator, guys! Reaching even the highest peaks with the greatest vistas ends up feeling mundane, as if running an errand. Climbing should have been placed more carefully. You can hardly just WALK in this game, without some obstacle in your way every five steps.

    - An unnecessarily happy ending. They set this up to be a more mature, darker Uncharted, and as such Sam was a tragic character, who resists growth. Therefore, I was totally prepared to see him die because of his obsession. Nope. Full-on happy ending that actually weakens our hero Nathan.

    - Same goes with Elena. I could not feel her strong bond with Nathan. Her forgiveness of Nathan's enourmous deceit may seem human, but I wanted more ambiguity, like, "let's see, if you and I cn still be together after this...". Instead, she just goes along with her husband. I wished that Elena had was pregnant, but didn't get a chance to tell Nathan about it, because he rushed off with Sam. That way, we (and Nathan too) would have really cared for Elena's well-being - it would have created a stronger core conflict.

    - There are ZERO consequences for our hero(s). None. Sure, lots of bad things happen, but nothing is ever really at stake. Nothing ever gets lost. We can see how super-human our hero(s) are, so why should we ever care?

    - Weird similarities to The Last Of Us (a game I loved and am deeply impressed by). From those white circles that appear on top of objects, to the guitar-heavy, monotone soundtrack, to that tacked-on Epilogue with their daughter, this Uncharted felt more like a TLOU hybrid, but without the great writing, character depth and REAL stealth (I was fully expecting a zombie to jump through the window and eat her).

    - Too much shooting in the last third. It turns into a massacre and our hero(s) humanity and relateability suffers from it.

    - That final QTE boss fight! Easily the worst boss in any Uncharted game. I didn't even get to know Rafe. I didn't hate him enough, to want him to die. Uncharted seriously has a villain and showdown problem.

    - Basically, Goonies (one of my childhood faves) for grown-ups with less charme and less fun booby traps. The finale is almost identical, but I expected more of this AAA game and these writers.

    - All fantasy is gone! It's almost as if the last Uncharteds with their monsters and demons happened in a parallel universe. In an Uncharted game, you have to have some supernatural element. I was fully looking forward to some Voodoo magic that would bring als those beautiful skeletons back to life to defend their treasure, but... nada. A huge missed opportunity and a brand-breaking shift in tone, that makes Nathan's world seem boringly real - and created a stark disparity to all his superhero style jumping, climbing, swinging and surviving. Uncharted is supposed to be over-the-top, Indiana Jones-style action and FUN. The moment you try to turn it into a mature, layered thing, it falls apart.    … Expand

Just a simple story told and pre digested to and from 8 year olds.

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

Uninspired gameplay, with ridiculous platforming. Unless you consider small colored ledges in huge rocks, or "randomly" placed crates in otherwise completely empty cave, ok for 2016 standards. 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.

    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

    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

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

    Maybe a bit harsh but I have to balance the hype. It's just not up to scratch. And the actual game looks nowhere nears as good as the trailers did. So much was taken out. I think that also subtracts from the immersion.

If the story was made into a film it would be totally unwatchable and does not even compare to something like National treasure 2 with Nicholas Cage.

    The puzzles are completely basic and clichéd where you just twist a few symbols and some secret passage unlocks. Why no one in some of these buildings never thought to push the secret buttons before is not explained or no one cares. At one point you find a long lost tomb which is fully lit with candles?

    In the brief moments when you actually control the character you are mostly climbing which requires no skill at all and you just follow the obvious path to your next tedious cut scene. Next minute you are pushing a crate around because you cant climb up a 3 meter gap even though you just previously ascended a 50 meter wall with no problem.

    Gunfights are the highlight and unfortunately they are very average. Almost 20 years ago when I shot someone in the foot in Goldeneye on the N64 he hopped around and limped. In U4 you can shoot a man in the face and nothing happens because you did not remove his helmet first.. The only other objective is to collect random objects with no meaning or history to the game.

Namely, combat sections are typically on a large stage, with perhaps 10-20 enemies at once. You won’t get a climbing section, then a group of two enemies, then another climbing section, if you see what I mean. Consequently, the number of combat sections in this game is extremely low. But, it’s not a bad thing, they’re well-designed such that you can choose how you want to deal with these enemies in many cases, such as shooting your way through or using stealth. Still, such kinds of combat sections are few and far between. In fact, after finishing the game you can choose to replay certain combat sections using a single menu, that’s how few combat sections there actually are. Can you imagine taking all of a game’s combat sections, and being able to list them all into a single menu? That’s barely anything.

    Some of the puzzles were fun to get through, but if you’re looking for a game exclusively for its puzzle, I recommend checking out the Professor Layton series instead. If you’ve ever taken a postsecondary course in mathematics, such as in the field of combinatorics, these puzzles feel like playing with building blocks. But, I can respect that they need to cater the game to a wide audience and that not everybody may enjoy solving puzzles as much as I may.

    Speaking if its puzzles, this game really enjoys using wooden crates for its puzzles. Perhaps five or six times during the story, you’ll need to find a crate to jump onto an object you can grab. It becomes stale (and embarrassing) very quickly.

    Unfortunately, there’s not much else to the game. This game’s physics and level design makes it feel like a spiritual successor to The Last of Us. You should be able to easily tell that the developers were the same.

    Don’t get me wrong, if you enjoy Telltale games and series that have a significant quantity of cinematics, such as Yakuza or Metal Gear Solid, you’ll probably like this game for its cinematic storytelling. This game almost feels like a movie, and really does rival with the aforementioned series with its exceptional storytelling capabilities.

    If you enjoy watching a half an hour of cutscenes between this game’s “levels”, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot. But, I attest that this significantly diminishes this title’s replayability. I mean, many QTE (quick time event) sequences found in this game are amazing and reach an unprecedented level of technical achievement. Sound and voice acting are definitely on par. But, such events are really only for one-time and you wouldn’t find yourself replaying them due to them simply consisting of a button mash. Thankfully, the game has multiplayer, which is pretty fun for a while.

    While I while continually protest that the game is a technical and even an artistic achievement, it doesn’t feel like a fun game to play through. When everything is so standardized, it almost feels like the entire game is, as I mentioned earlier, “on-the-rails”.

    Even though the previous titles have many shortcomings with gameplay, I honestly found the original and second entry in this series to be much more fun. I’m not spoiling anything, but like many games nowadays, there aren’t really any bosses. Don’t get me wrong, the fighting scenes in the introduction are fun, but it’s really just bashing a single button and watching your characters miraculously perform some unimaginable punches and kicks from just mashing that one button.

    Even with all of the positive points previously mentioned, I still found this game to be a grind. I wanted the climbing sections to be over during certain areas since all I was doing was tapping “X”.

    Getting to drive a jeep in the game was fun at first, but once you realize that the exploration available in such levels were very limited, you become disappointed. There are many levels, but the repetitive gameplay really takes a toll on you quickly.

    I could really only play this title for a couple of hours at a time. In fact, I often found myself slogging through the gameplay just to see how the story would unfold. But if you like cinematics and a strong narrative (when employed with just the right pinch of suspense of disbelief), you’ll find this game fun for a few hours. Although it has many lengthy levels, its linearity makes it very quick and easy to beat.    … Expand

    To me, Uncharted 4 is a major disappointment in many ways. First of all, some context is very important for understanding why this game is so different from the previous 3 entries in the series.

First of all, some context is very important for understanding why this game is so different from the previous 3 entries in the series.
    It is because Amy Hennig was originally supposed to be the writer/director of the game, but then, in a very dubious turn of events, she left the team, and alot of the work that was done was scrapped, and Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley of "The Last of Us"-fame took over development. It is unknown what exactly happened, but it seems unlikely that she would willingly discard a project she is obviously very invested in. What makes it even more shady, is that there is almost no information to be found on why she left.

    It is clear, that we would have gotten a very different game, had she remained at the helm of development. As I already mentioned it is no secret that much of her work was scrapped, when Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley took over. You can go and watch the first teaser trailer (the one that features narration while the camera pans over a map), and you will see that it has nothing to do with the final game.

    Alright now let's get to my review of the game we ended up getting: Simply put, it is too much Neil Druckmann, and not enough Amy Hennig. Too much "The Last of Us", and not enough Uncharted. From the bleak titlescreen, to the soundtrack that completely lacks the sense of adventure and excitement the previous games conveyed, everything is just way too drab for an Uncharted game.
    But alright, let's look at it for what it claims to be. It doesn't aspire to be as grand and adventurous as the previous games. Instead it attempts to focus more on the characters, especially Nathan Drake himself. There are several problems with that.

    *First of all, even as a more character focused experience, the game does not have to be as drab and lifeless as it is. It plainly lacks the energy that the other games have.

    *The pacing of the game is absolutely horrendous. I never got bored with the previous Uncharted games, even after several playthroughs. They also had more story focused sequences, particularily Uncharted3 such as playing as kid Nate, or playing Nate as he wanders the desert, looking for water. But these games were made by someone who knew what pacing is. I really don't want to sound too condescending, since I do think "The Last of Us" was an expertly crafted game with great pacing, but what the hell were Neil/Bruce thinking? Uncharted 4 is straight-up boring for about half the freaking playtime. Soo many sequences are extremely tedious on the first playthrough already. And it certainly does not get better on later playthroughs. There are a lot (and I mean a lot) of sequences, that are boring as hell to play and only serve some story related purpose. Again I legitimately enjoyed these parts in the previous games (or the Uncharted trilogy as I like to call it), however here they are unbearably boring. It all harkens back to the atrocious pacing of the game. In previous games you'd have these amazing actionpacked sequences that go on for really long, so by the time the pacing slows down it is very welcome. But in 4 just as you start to get into the flow of things, it stops dead in its tracks and forces you to play some asinine storyfocused bit, where all you do is usually walk around, and also maybe climb a bit if you're lucky. It's bad.

    *The shoot-outs are seperated into socalled encounters. Now here's the problem with that: In Uncharted 1-3 enemies would litter the game. There generally aren't many sequences that don't feature enemies. Even as you're just going from A to B, there are usually a couple of enemies in your way. Well say goodbye to that, cause Uncharted 4 wants to make sure you're not having too much fun. So enemies only appear in these kinda big open areas, called encounters. I really don't mind how shootouts play out here, and it's cool that they are a bit less linear, and it allows you to be stealthier than before. But there should also be enemies sprinkled throughout the levels. There are parts where you climb around for really long. and It gets very very boring. fast.

    *Last but certainly not least: These are not the characters you've come to love in the trilogy. They are pale imitations at best. It seems like the writers just really don't like Nate. Nate was always a bit full of himself but he was also likable and capable of having a real conversation with his friends. In this game he maintains absolutely nothing except for the "full of himself"-part. Sully and Elena are just extremely bland. The characters you came to love over the last games are not here.

    So to summarize, Uncharted 4 is a boring, heartless action adventure game, that should have never been made. It really agitates me to no end, that we never got to see the game that the clearly much more capable (at least in the realm of Uncharted games) Amy Hennig wanted to make, but here we are. Thank you for reading my review :)    … Expand

    I bought this half price and still had buyer's remorse. Clearly the developers want to make movies but if this had the gameplay elements and mechanics removed it would be an even worse movie than it is a game. The gameplay itself is shallow, boring and repetitive. The story didn't know if it was a action adventure or a relationship drama. Just amazed at the high scores people are giving this.

Those critics and people have clearly all been drinking the Kool-Aid because this is one of the worst games I’ve ever played. It’s funny because it’s not even that this game is a broken mess, it’s not, though it certainly has its buggy moments. No, instead this game is so fundamentally flawed on every level.

    Uncharted 4 was said to have a new writer after the last left and that they scrapped her draft, but it’s so clear that they used most of it and probably just tweaked or added a few things. Because this story is so in line with the last three, so copy/paste, just following the same beats they always have. The story doesn’t even get truly rolling until Chapter 17 (of 22!), as usual the whole beginning of the game has no bearing on the rest. The amount of times the characters are mocking the annoying parts that are put in every game: ‘Oh look an entryway is caved in. Again.’ ‘Do you notice we crawl through a lot of holes?’

    The Uncharted series is probably hurt the most from the fact that it never has its own identity. Every game stole from other games (Tomb Raider. Prince of Persia, Assassin’s Creed, Splinter Cell, etc) and movies (Indiana Jones, The Mummy, etc) and thus never managed to pull off any of their aspects better than the original source material. It’s so much fun to climb buildings and other things in AC because you get to choose where to go. Here, there’s one set path and if you don’t take it, you fail, the game can’t continue.

    I felt that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies were more faithful to pirate history than this game. Nothing says ‘I didn’t do my research’ like throwing in every pirate name they could find no matter that none of them operated during the same time period.

    Gameplay comprises of the old wall-climbing, which is no different from the very first game. This time around, they did steal the ice-pick idea from Tomb Raider, which served no real purpose as it doesn’t show up til 2/3 through the game. The puzzles were so cheaply done, I felt no satisfaction from completing them, and then there were short combat ‘encounters’ which last usually around 5mins. And parts that aren’t combat or wall-climbing? Well those are cutscenes! And the cutscenes, especially at the beginning, were ridiculous! Who allowed them to be so lengthy? I was actually able to put my controller down on the ground for awhile. They didn’t even provide much to the story; I certainly didn’t need 20mins of watching Nate and Elena in boring ‘domestic bliss’. (About 8 hours of gameplay and 5 hours of cutscenes)

    They actually put in a whole section of you being forced to play Crash Bandicoot while the characters go ‘wow what a fun game!’ Pat yourself on the back much Naughty Dog? All it does is showcase how they haven’t grown as a gaming company much since their Crash days. Uncharted even has the run at the camera sequences that are so hated!

    Let’s talk about that garbage epilogue. Just throwing in your face how Nate could have gone legit for his whole life and still gone treasure hunting AND become rich but no they didn’t feel that would make a good story. Also, good god Nate and Elena describe their travels yet AGAIN!! I was there I don’t need to be reminded every second of their past failed adventures. Sure they discovered something but no one ever found out and they destroyed it so who cares?

    And people worship the ground at Naughty Dog’s feet? Have they never played an actual GOOD game?? I can in no way recommend these games. A great story and fun gameplay is what keeps people coming back, what gives it replayability. This series has none of that.

A “definitive action adventure experience with a deep narrative.” People claim this game is the one of the best action games ever created. For some ungodly reason, people view this game as higher than the likes of several other games who do what Uncharted does far better than Uncharted ever could.

    Whether you like or dislike Uncharted, I think we can all agree on one thing: Uncharted is vanilla. Whether or not you find the game fun and exciting, I feel that you cannot deny that Uncharted does nothing different or original from other games in it’s already generic third person shooter genre. This game may look really pretty, it may have an entertaining and engaging story, (Although personally I feel that at least with Uncharted 4, the story is nothing special at all.) but from a GAMEPLAY perspective, this game does nothing to be acclaimed as one of the best action games ever.

    You shoot people. You take cover. And when you’re done shooting people, you do even more tedious climbing sections that are incredibly point A to point B. Neither form of gameplay tries to provide any sort of challenge or variety to make the game more engaging to play. Most enemies go down fairly easily and plenty of cover is given. And the platforming and the puzzles are extremely trivial, to the point where it’s almost as if the game is screaming “Go here! Do this!” at you. And if you somehow manage to die or mess up, the game is extremely forgiving. Because any sort of punishment would break your “immersion.” It doesn’t feel like a video game. It feels like the most generic, uninspired gameplay in the world thrown into a pretty, scripted set piece, where anything cool that happens happened because the game wanted it to and not because of you.

    Do keep in mind that this is my opinion. If you enjoyed Uncharted 4 then good for you. I’m glad you’re satisfied with your investment. I just feel as if as a video game, Uncharted 4 deserves none of the praise that it endlessly gets.    … Expand

    Não existe a menor dúvida que plataforma da Sony tem grandes jogos exclusivos, Uncharted 4 não é um desses jogos.
    O gráfico do jogo é muito bom, mas o que ele tem de positivo para por aí, a jogabilidade é esquisita, difícil de se adaptar, os NPCs aliados só estão lá pra compor a história, na real eles atrapalham mais do que ajudam, por mais paciência que você tenha, o stealth do jogo raramente funciona, você nunca sabe pra onde o Drake pode ir, então as mortes no jogo por queda são muito maiores do que as mortes em combate.
    Ao chegar no capítulo 11, você tem impressão que o jogo está acabando, mal sabia eu que o jogo me pregava um peça, mais 11 repetitivos e cansativos capítulos me aguardavam, o jogo fica te "cozinha", quando você pensa que vai, ele fica.
    Uncharted 4 é sem dúvida a pior experiência que tive nessa geração, não é o tipo de jogo que recomenda para alguém.    … Expand

    60% of this game is very boring! And the other 40% is a masterpiece! Let me explain, I know the graphics are stunning, the story is very good,but man! Too much walking and climbing! really 60% of this game is trying to find a way to a point and you will die because you jumped in the wrong spot

    This is the only installment in the main series (1-4) that I purchased but couldn't bring myself to complete. I made it to chapter 12. The voice acting, graphics, basically everything related to the presentation is astounding. The problem is the puzzles and even more notably the CLIMBING. I feel like I spent like 90% of my time up until chapter 12 watching cutscenes and climbing.

I feel like I spent like 90% of my time up until chapter 12 watching cutscenes and climbing. It gets really tedious finding a new place to explore and GASP you have to find another way in. The design of the areas makes absolutely no sense, no one would ever build anything to make it impossible get in, not to mention the fact that endless waves of enemies somehow magically made it inside. Too boring and tedious, if the gameplay isn't fun, I don't care how good the graphics and voices are. I stopped playing when sam was looking down, talking about how we need to check out what's under us, I climbed down, ran around, nothing happened. Went back up, he's still just looking down. I'm not waiting for a hint to figure out where to go all the time, that is terrible design. Where to go should never be a question in a video game, it's just irritating. Uncharted 1 and 2 are my favorites in the series for what it's worth... 2 being the best.… Expand

    I thought Uncharted 3 where this Movie kind of "game" started. But nothing like this one. Its totally a movie not a game.

    Pros: -Story -Graphics. Cons: -A movie not a game. -About 30% game play the rest are cut scenes. -Even when its time to finally play you wont do much but push a few buttons which most of the time the game tells you which buttons and which way to go.

    Looks like Sony going for this kind of style from now on. Last of Us 2 will probably be the same and what a shame. These game are made for 5-year old kids who only need to push the same button to finish.    … Expand

    I understand that the main characters are amazing ninjas that can climb and jump like nobody on the planet and I like it, but when you encounter hundreds of guards in places that would have required at least as much skill to get to it makes it all too ridiculous.
    How are they getting to these places, and how did they bring large trucks and jeeps ?

    Well, it is just another Uncharted game, as in, they are delivering the same thing for the fourth time with a different story. I don’t think franchises need to reinvent the wheel at every installment but given how shallow Uncharted gameplay has been it is baffling Naughty Dog manages to get away with how their games (movies cough cough) work.

    Automatic climbing and cover system    Well, it is just another Uncharted game, as in, they are delivering the same thing for the fourth time with a different story. I don’t think franchises need to reinvent the wheel at every installment but given how shallow Uncharted gameplay has been it is baffling Naughty Dog manages to get away with how their games (movies cough cough) work.

    Automatic climbing and cover system shootouts as it always have been. You have a grappling hook now, that sounds awesome and perfectly matches the game right? No! When the “platforming” is so automatic it becomes unfulfilling; the grappling hook only works when you see a prompt button on the screen so it is just a fancy way to press X and see the game play itself. I’m not joking when I say the game should be an all-out platformer making rewarding to get on top of a big ass tower, but the challenge was never an option with Uncharted and it sure as h*ll wouldn’t be in the fourth game.

    The cover based shootouts returns again despite being the biggest sin when it comes to third person shooters games. Press the button that magnetizes you to cover and wait for the enemy to voluntarily expose their head, rise and headshot they yaaaay! It is funny when you don’t realize the correct flow of the fight and wanders all around the battlefield being showered with bullets until you find your precious piece of wood to protect you. If something, I feel like shooting is even worse in this game: the crosshair movement is off and if you pre-aim before hiding behind cover when you get up again your pre-aim is gone.

    It is easy to realize the gameplay is a mere accessory in Uncharted and the best example is the chapter 4, right at the beginning. You start at your attic and inspect some memorabilia reminiscent of Nathan’s adventures on the previous games (which is a nice fan service to be honest), then you play with a Nerf gun shooting some targets (for some reason) and your wife calls, a really mundane sappy moment worth of your everyday romance sitcom occurs and she challenges you to play Crash Bandicoot for PS1… which you do! From Nathan’s perspective watching the TV you have to beat Crash first stage, and this is the most challenging thing the game has to offer. The story goes on for the chapter but the only thing the player really has done is playing discount Crash for PS1!

    Remember desperately mashing the buttons to skip the cutscenes/story in older games so you can actually play the f*cking thing? I’m pretty sure Uncharted fans would do the other way around, trying to find a way to skip the gameplay sections instead.

    So yes it is a “sToRy gAmE”!!!! It follows the same Indiana Jones/National Treasure trope used in previous installments: a historic figure did something and hid clues to find something, then a clue leads to a puzzle that when solved leads to another clue and so on so forth until the mystery is revealed. This narrative model is pretty appealing (although in a cheap way) and the player is compelled to know what will happen next, even though the dialogues can be cheesy at times and characters are overall stereotypical. It is a clichéd text yes, but I can see it working with most people.

    Let’s wrap it up giving the credit where it’s due: graphically the game is a work of art! So many times you can stop to appreciate the scenery (the first scene in chapter 5… my God!) given how beautiful the game looks; the “world traveling” narratives also guarantees a lot of different landscapes to behold. And the facial expressions… I’m sorry for every company trying to rival Naughty Dog on this regard.

    So Uncharted 4 doesn’t surprise anyone and I wouldn’t buy this game to save my life! I only played because it was the PS Plus freebie of the month and had nothing to lose. However it remains as the most story based game of them all to the point where the gameplay doesn’t really matter, Naughty Dog frankly doesn’t care and neither do the fans. The fact Uncharted next project is going to be a straight up movie speaks volumes about the series, at least they’re being upfront this time around.    … Expand

    Nate as a character, is not a good person, he's shallow and bland(has the same jokes and mannerisms as teenagers in Hollywood movies) and he's not charismatic at all, like they try to build him up to be. Always having the last word, makes idiot jokes while he kills hundreds of people

    Beautiful game to look at but very little substance in gameplay, combat is average, puzzles are trivial (hey just look at these diagrams in the journal!), too much climbing and watching drake almost fall of a ledge that gets comical, very tedious you spent hours In this game climbing ledges (which is not fun or challenging)

    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]
