It's a must buy, and the best ps4 exclusive game to date. That being said, I am disappointed at Naughty Dog for making this game. Naughty Dog is most likely the best developer to date, and they keep pushing the limits with how far video games can go in terms of graphics, story, game play, and how fluid a game feels.

    The problem with this game, though, is that Naughty Dog had to climb an uphill battle in order to make it. Nathan's story was finished before Uncharted 4. So creating a story out of an already closed ending was going to be tough feat from the start. And Naughty Dog knew this. That's why they spent so much time trying to create the structure of the story and script. You can easily tell the work they put in the writing. The writing and voice acting is truly fantastic, but I'm disappointed that they chose to use their talents in order to make a game that will have a capped story. The starting formula of the game was too bad for these developers.

    Remember when The Last of Us came out? The bareness of it? The intensity? The story? The message? One of the reasons The Last of Us was able to be a great game was because it started from scratch. The developers had the freedom to create a new story with new characters and a fresh start. Uncharted 4 could never have been just as great because the story and plot had to be restricted due to the previous games. The ending of Uncharted 3 showed Nate getting out of the treasure hunting life. Adding Sam, Nate's brother, into the equation was the only way for Nate to get back into the game. It was inevitably forced. That being said, though, the development of Sam through out the game was beautiful. You like him, then you hate him, then you understand him, and then you see the love between him and Nate. I guess I just wished that Naughty Dog would've made a whole new franchise with new characters and a new format. I give it a 9.8 just because I know Naughty Dog can do better.

    Still one of the best games I've ever played, and easily game of the year. If you haven't bought it yet, you are missing out. Naughty Dog will be the bridge between movie entertainment and video game entertainment. I thank these game developers for showing true care and passion in their product and their fans.    … Expand

    This game is one of the best games ever, in this particular game as well as "the last of us" there are bigger parts of u & ur emotions take part in the experience than any other games.
    this is easily solid 10/10, even if some ppl didn't experience what i did i can't believe some fools says this game 0/10, impossible to say 0/10, those ppl didn't play the game or they r just haters!!!

    I have yet to play this games but confident we have another masterpiece here. The franchise is my all time favourite. Now as so many user reviews have given it 0/10 without playing the game as they are xbone fans only, i feel i can also score this game without playing it which I give a 10.

    Uncharted 4 is without a doubt an amazing experience. The story, while unoriginal, is extremely engaging due to it's well-written characters, and well-directed cinematics.

Everything this game does gameplay-wise has been done better by other games before it.

Overall a great game that every ps4 owner should experience, but with mediocre gameplay, and little to no replay value, this game gets an 8/10 from me.… Expand

It´s one of the biggest Drake adventures, very emotional and satisfying, the game is more open now, which allows more exploration and depth, don´t expect a open world game, the game is still pretty straight forward . Graphics are among the best on the market right now, very impressive, sadly music is not as memorable as in the previous Uncharted 2 and 3. I recommend this game to be bought brand new. if you have never played a Uncharted game before, the Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection is a must buy for you, if you play Uncharted 4 without knowing the story you probably will get confused and bored pretty quick since this are Story Driven games. Saying more things about this game is just a Spoiler, so what are you waiting for, run go buy it and enjoy it for yourself.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game with my PS4, and it was such a great introduction to the console. The story is amazing with so many journal entries around the game to help you further understand it. There's a great plot twist at the end of chapter 14. I don't think it's worthy of a 10 as I did encounter a few glitches, but they didn't make it unplayable. Far from it actually. The character development is really good and the characters felt like real people from the real world. I did notice that there was an absence of something supernatural like in the other games, but it's excusable. The rest of the game makes up for it. This game did appeal to me because I love grappling in games, from Just Cause to Spiderman, it's awesome. And, what do you know, Uncharted 4 has a grappling hook with excellent control on it. The combat is really good and the guns have a level of recoil that is just right on the guns. Also, I especially like how you can use guns while swinging on a rope. It's so fun to just swing out from a tower or something at spray at some people. The bonuses you get after completing the game are a really cool addition to it as it adds a lot of replay-ability. My personal favourite is the moon gravity one so enemies corpses just float off when you kill them. Now, I need to say something about the multiplayer part of it. A lot of people said that the multiplayer is absolutely awful. While it is nowhere near as good as the story, it's really not as bad as people say. It's a mediocre third person shooter. It's quite fun to play as the different characters from the main game. I have to say though, it's weird to say 5 Sully's on the same team. But anyway, a highly enjoyable game. I recommend getting it.… Expand

    This game fails to catch what Uncharted is. The original trilogy was full of thrilling, funny and heart breaking moments. This is boring as hell. The graphics and voice acting is superb, but the story is weak. the gameplay has zero updates and it's bad and the whole game is depressing for no reason. Doesn't feel like an U game at all.

    Overhyped and overrated.

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]
