    Uncharted 4 is an average (not bad but not great) game with stupid puzzles and dated gun fight arena. After the excellent Last of Us I was expected a lot more from Naughty Dogs. Uncharted 2 will stay the best Uncharted ever and the third one the worst.

This is a platform game, and the story is really poor, because of this they had to add the what I call "shooting-mini game" every 20 minutes. Not going to say anything about the graphics as they are powered by a poor hardware. Overall the game is pretty good and you will have a good time while playing it, but it has been the same for 9 years, a game who only wants to attract people who thinks this had good graphics on their brand new console.    … Expand

    It is very obvious that the creation and subsequent success of The Last Of Us has had an enormous impact on Uncharted's development.

The development and depth of the characters involved is more immersive and compelling then the entirety of the last 3 games put together. At its heart is a very polished and accomplished control system that succesfully implements some new gameplay elements (while relying quite heavily on some old concepts, gotta love those crates!) and gives you as a player a meaty selection of options on how to progress through each set piece.

    The writing is fantastic, filled with well timed comedy beats and palatable sombre moments that make up for their lack of originality with an enormous amount of talent and polish. Voice acting and interaction is absolutely stellar and further paves the way for gaming to be considered a serious and influential art style on the global stage - gaming Oscars anyone?

    So the single player...fantastic with maybe a few gripes.

    The multiplayer? Utter. Tripe. Those controls that sit perfectly within the single player pacing feel airy and disconnected in the frenetic action of competative multiplayer. Sticking to walls and map objects every 30 seconds is incredibly frustrating. Weapon/damage imbalance is also homicidally anger inducing - many times have I spent an assault rifles entire ammunition into someone only to have them down me with a quick burst from a side arm. I also found the loadout and customisation options quite forced and poorly implemented from a UI point of view.

    In its current state the multiplayer suffers from a wealth of problems that most games do at launch. Possibly the most frustration for me came from issues regarding lag and timing. These are all things that will hopefully be ironed out as the game settles and the bugs are identified.

    Overall, a definite must own for fans of 3rd person adventure games with a seriously satisfying single player and a multiplayer that currently frustrates but could have potential in future.    … Expand

    Absolutely stunning. Marvellous. Magic!
    Naughty Dog has really been working so hard, it is more than just obvious.
    At times like these I'm proud of the potential of videogaming.
    Its not about the fantastic graphics, the setting or the audio.
    It is a step forward in story telling.
    It is a step towards proving that videogaming should be considered an Art. THE ART :)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. OK so this score comes from a person who actually played and finished the game and is based on the single player part only.
    What i liked:
    Great graphics for a console game, with very much attention to detail; An interesting pirate subplot which develops as you progress further into the story and as you collect and read the notes scattered through the game (more interesting than the main plot itself); The same cinematic experience from the previous games, with intense scripted scenes and frenetic gunfights; Much improved enemy AI who tends to flank you and not let you stay in one place.
    What i disliked:
    Dumb friendly AI who just follows you around, and whose main and only purpose is to tell you how to solve puzzles and where to go next; Boring segments of gameplay from Drakes past (and future) where you just walk around for hours and interact with objects; Horrible voice acting and appearance on the Elena character; Predictable and improvised storyline, with way to many cut-scenes.
    Also, the stealth mechanic sucks and it doesn't really belongs in an Uncharted game. The vehicle was an interesting addition but its used only in like 2 or 3 chapters.
    Its mostly a love it or hate it kind of game and it all comes down to personal taste.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have some reservations with the narrative flow of the game and the absurdity of the setting, some reservations about the fact the magical/supernatural totally disappeared from this episode, some reservations about the flavorless antagonists (plot wise and action wise), some reservations about a number of little aesthetic or narrative missteps (the like or which were almost nonexistent in The Last of Us), BUT two things shocked me in this fourth installment:

    1) The totally absurd $/second ration as more than once we storm through incredibly detailed scenery.

    2) Naughty Dog's ability to add more than half a dozen new gameplay systems to the franchise while still making it feel like the good old Uncharted. Free roaming areas (with vehicles), swimming/diving, tall grass cover to sneak around, python to route your climbing path, grappling hook, mud/gravel slides, MGS style AI (with detection, suspicion and attack with the possibility to escape and have them get back to normal)... all of these in brilliantly designed levels to allow marvelous unscripted action sequences.

    A remarkable game with a very sweet ending.    … Expand

    Shooting feels spot on from the clumsy aiming of the ps3 games, the stealth adds more combat options and the driving elements are well implemented and part of the overall exploration and action set pieces.

    Its hard to find fault in Uncharted 4, the graphics are the best thing a console has ever seen, you will stand in awe just looking at the view at times, especially in the final third which is a large chunk of the game which peaks and peaks up to an ending worthy of the 14 hours i put into it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uncharted 4 is a wonderfully crafted adventure, about family, sacrifices, loss and maturity. Set three years after the events of Uncharted 3, Nate and Elena are married. They live in New Orleans, where Elena is a free-lance Journalist, and Nate works for a salvage company called Jameson Marine. Their normal, mundane life comes to a halt when Sam Drake (Nate`s older brother) comes back into his life, who was thought to be dead for 15 years, who needs Nathan`s help to find Henry Avery`s $400 million worth in treasure and jewels. The story in Uncharted 4 and the way it arcs is the best in the series by far, as it has a deeper and more engrossing plot, with more at stake this time round.
    It`s also clear that Naughty Dog has learnt a lot from the previous Uncharted games, and from The Last of Us in terms of character building and game design too, which has had a massive pay off for this final entry in the series, as all the staple Uncharted characters the we know and love like Elena, Nate and Sully show us a lot more emotion in situations, to help elevate a scene in the game. The pay off from the profound detail to facial animations and peerless acting is massive, and no game has ever had such a high quality in this area before, to the point where each character feels like a real, living person.

    Graphically, Uncharted 4 is unbelievable in every way possible, from the vast draw distance, the sense of scale, the amazing lighting, the life like character models and super high quality texture work. Not to mention the class leading animation work at play too. During game play, the transition to cut scenes is now seamless, thanks to them now being real-time instead of being pre-rendered like on PS3. Audio is also deeply satisfying, with guns, punches and dialogue being top notch as usual.

    Outside of the story, the Multiplayer is also pleasantly fun, with a focus on 60 fps, with less graphical detail to make sure the game plays its best in a competitive space with online players. Gun play is slick, responsive and accurate, while still being decently balanced. Customisation is deep and overall its a welcome addition that will keep players interested, while more content rolls out.

    Overall, Uncharted 4: A Thief`s End is a masterpiece of a game that sets a new bar for storytelling, characters, action and presentation for the action/adventure genre, that few games have managed to top. Not only is it the best game in the series, it`s also an emotional, thrilling, memorable and peerless love letter to die hard fans of the series that has to be played. Its a game that will remembered and talked about for years to come.    … 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]
