    What Uncharted 4 does right, it really show cases an amazing beautiful world, you will find yourself staring at the backgrounds in the game alot. The game play is fun, action packed, and it makes you use your brain alot more than other games lately. The story is gripping, you get real connections with characters, and it plays out like a movie.

    Like the other Uncharted games you are basically Indiana Jones fused with Lara Croft in the search of lost treasure, the game does an excellent job of laying out the story, character progression, and geniuly makes you care about the characters like they are real people. You will often laugh at their lame "Dad jokes", or other things they say and do.

    Now that being said where this game really hits the mark is in game play mechanics you can shift between a stealthy approach or an action approach which you will find both very challenging. The Ai is very smart in their approach to attacking you. Also your Ai "Partners" will contribute to the fights.

    Now the game isn't "Open world" you are set on a linear path with some variations here and there, but the game will make you forget about that.

    Defiantly worth your money, if this is your first Uncharted game there are several youtube videos that will "Catch you up" on the story of the first 3 games.    … Expand

    This game has absolutely everything: (amazing)x (graphics, sound track, game play, story line, characters design).
    When I thought Uncharted could not improve or be better than it was on PS 3, Naughty Dog comes with this incredible masterpiece.

    Hollywood movie makers would be ENVIOUS if they saw what has been done here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uncharted 4 has the most beautiful and engaging settings with a really enjoyable story.

    The locations in this game were varied and stunning. Unlike previous Uncharted games this has a more realistic plot thankfully without any supernatural elements! The level design is phenomenal, I stopped to take lots of photo's, which I very rarely do normally. The atmosphere peaks at the end when you walk amongst the cadavers piecing together their stories from scrolls. To be the first to uncover the horror and decay in such a lush environment is enthralling.

    Hunting pirate treasure may be a simple plot but its an exciting theme well executed. By chance I happened to be watching Black Sails at the same time, this complemented the game really nicely. In the TV Series, Henry Avery is a legendary figure and you see the rise of certain new pirates. In the game you are searching for Avery's treasure and learn the eventual fate of some of these pirates. Experiencing both together is an awesome Assassin's Creed-esk moment!

    Oh and the PS1 moment had me grinning from ear to ear!

    This game tones in the more far-fetched aspects of its predecessors nicely and whilst the gameplay is good, I hope you like climbing! Its defining features are a great story and probably the most stunning visuals of any video game to date. Even more they manage to fill the game with humour, secrets and nostalgic nods.    … Expand

With that said, A Thief's End is one of the most beautifully crafted paths I have ever experienced. The various environments and landscapes are simply stunning, integrating top-tier graphics with both scope and detail. The story is provocative and well written, the dialogue is engaging, and the transitions between game-play and cut-scenes are seamless. The mechanics are fun and easy, with simple and sensible controls. The A.I. is intelligent and will operate as a cohesive unit to surround and destroy you. You can approach enemy strongholds as a stealth assassin, or guns blazing. Both strategies are rewarding and challenging for different reasons.

    I’m docking 2 points because the game-play is very repetitive at times. The bulk of your adventure can be reduced to very simple formula: climb, jump, swing, kill a group of bad guys, repeat. The developers could have opened up the environment a bit, giving us a choice between a variety of right and wrong paths to a given destination. As the game unfolds, it becomes increasingly obvious which cliffs you’re suppose to scale, which ledges you’re suppose to climb, and which paths you're suppose to walk. This becomes monotonous, and begins to feel like wasted time sandwiched between important events. Aside from that, A Thief’s End is a uniquely rewarding experience that is a must have for fans of the franchise…or any fan of well-crafted games.    … Expand

If back in the day we had to sit through cinematic's which are pre rendered, Uncharted 4 is a giant cinematic game.

    I loved the childhood story beginning to the events that transpired. It is a james bond + tomb raider + indiana jones mashed together. Uncharted 4 could be a movie about brotherly kinship, relationships, and exciting adventures filled with danger and mystery.

    I have not played the previous Uncharted games as I am a sucker for eye candy and since I started with something with big graphical improvements from past years I don't think I can invest the time to go backwards.

    This game is a 10/10. A cinematic pleasure with pretty intense fire fights, puzzles, adventure, and impossible james bond moments all around.

    I highly recommend this game as well.    … Expand

    Easily one of the best PS4 games I've ever played. Amazing Story, great game play and AMAZING graphics. While it is sad that this is the end of Nathan Drake, Naughty Dog did a great job on ending it. The Ending is about as perfect as it can get. If You own a PS4 then this game is a must have. Still can't decide if I like this one over uncharted 2.

    Pros:
    - Absolutely breathtaking visuals. It's astonishing how impressive Naughty Dog manages to make their games look. Every animation, character model, and texture in this game are beautiful to behold and the overall art direction rivals some of the best titles on PC.
    - The dialogue in the Uncharted games have always been best in class and this one is no exception. The characters feel real based on their interactions with each other as well as the brilliant performances by its star-studded cast.
    - Best plot in an Uncharted game by far. Although I didn't enjoy the story in this game quite as much as in The Last of Us, it was still a treat and thrilling throughout.
    - The grapple hook is a great addition to both the climbing and combat portions.
    - Many of the firefights in the game feel involved and dynamic. The enemy AI is constantly trying to flank and exploit your weaknesses and success is often only attainable through smart thinking and quick reactions.
    - More than anything, the ~15 hour experience truly imparts the feeling of adventure. What else could you ask for from an Uncharted title?

    Cons:
    - Despite the refinements made to combat, the game still does not push you enough to play the game the way it was meant to be played. Sitting behind cover and shooting after regenerating health is often tactically superior to running around causing mayhem. Unfortunately, this is also a significantly less fun way to experience Nathan Drake's latest adventure.
    - Nathan Drake is more or less the most athletic human being of all time. Because of this, it is incredibly frustrating when there's a chest high wall he can't climb or when he dies from a 10 ft. fall. For the most part, the game does a great job of crafting a linear experience with the veneer of choice and exploration. However, this makes the points when the illusion is dispelled even more noticeable.
    - Framerate drops are rare, but still noticeable.

    -Really liked the controls, great third person shooting. Driving was also a joy, it felt much easier to me than for GTA V.
    -Like an interactive action movie. If you ever wanted to know what it's like to actually BE Indiana Jones, this is it. It combined the thrill of an action/adventure movie with the addictive feeling of a book you don't want to put down. However, it's arguable that you feel more invested in the main character and the story than you would in either medium because you are actually participating in it.
    -Good story, by the end I felt attached to the characters and wanted to spend more time with them. I may even get the Uncharted Collection just so I can have more of the Nathan Drake experience
    -The game manages to lead you where to go, but not in an obnoxious way, every decision you make feels natural. Whenever you make a discovery, about what you should do next, you always feel like it was your decision, even though the game obviously led you there.
    -Liked the mix of climbing, easy puzzle-solving and action.

    The not-so good (for me at least)

    -It was a little cutscene-heavy for my personal tastes
    -Some of the story/dialogue was a little cheesy.
    -Agree with the IGN critique that the last third of the game was a little bloated, I found myself getting impatient for the end.
    -Bad guys are a little bullet spongy, but I guess you are too so it evens out.

    Uncharted 2 was my favourite game of 2009. While Uncharted 3 was not as good for me as the 2nd part I liked it a lot too. So honestly 4th was my most anticipated game of 2016 (after RotTR). This game provides a great story, an excellent facial animation, a nice soundtrack and quite an engaging gameplay.

    I have been waiting for a new Uncharted game since the release of the 3rd, but    Uncharted 2 was my favourite game of 2009.

This game provides a great story, an excellent facial animation, a nice soundtrack and quite an engaging gameplay.

    I have been waiting for a new Uncharted game since the release of the 3rd, but instead received a mixture of The Last Of Us and Uncharted. The game reminds it's predecessor - TLoU - in many ways. It is less dynamic than the previous Uncharted games. This was unexpected for me. I was prepared for a new dose of uninterrupted breathtaking action, but instead I have been provided with a quite calm and prudent game.
    Similar thing happened with the latest game about Lara Croft. But that was an expected thing. Lara has always been more interested in an exploration than in a war. While Nathan Drake has always been a fortune hunter, who would not mind killing anyone between him and a treasure. But Uncharted 4 has a different setting. From time to time Drake is put in Joel shoes. That fact made the second half of the game a bit dim for me.

    On the other hand, Uncharted 4 surpasses previous games of the franchise in many ways. But Uncharted 2 still remains my favourite Uncharted game - it includes a charismatic antagonist, easy mood and some kind of excitement - none of which the 4th part can provide.

    As to the comparison with the new TR game, I personally prefer RotTR. These two games have some similarities - they both lowered the degree of action. But, from my point of view, ex UK developers made this conversion more seamless - they stretched action scenes with many interesting side-quests, hidden tombs and a lot of information about the gaming world (contained in documents, artifacts and enemy dialogs). While Uncharted developers didn't do quite as much to engage a player between action scenes.

    In summary, Uncharted 4 is a stunning experience. I understand why some of gamers consider this game as the best game of 2016. But in my opinion it is not as polished as it could be. I think the developers could bring something more into the game to make it more complete. Though it showed a lot of things which can be implemented in the next Naughty Dog game (TLoU:PII) and make it the best game of the year again.

    Eventually Uncharted 4 is a good ending to the Nathan Drake's story. I love this game, but can't say it is among my most favourite ones.    … Expand

Uncharted 4 es un gran videojuedo de acción y aventuras, espectacular, pero no era un juego necesario dentro de la saga. La historia ya tendría que haber terminado en U3. Como videojuego es un sobresaliente, como uncharted no lo es y como juego del año tampoco.

    Grandísimo espectacular videojuego exclusivo para ps4. Historia más redonda que los tres anteriores aunque abusa, y mucho, de cinemáticas de larga duración donde más de una vez pensarás "y cuándo juego". Gráficos que exprimen la consola al máximo, la jugabilidad de siempre y "puzles" más sencillos. En cualquier caso, para mí el mejor Uncharted como juego es el 3.

    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]
