    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was alright.
    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves blew it out of the water and was almost perfect.
    Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception had a lot to live up to, it wasn't as good as 2, but it had its moments. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was.... a big let down. Nathan Drake is retired and happily married to Elena. What else would you want for them? And quite literally out of    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was alright.
    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves blew it out of the water and was almost perfect.
    Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception had a lot to live up to, it wasn't as good as 2, but it had its moments.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was.... a big let down.
    Nathan Drake is retired and happily married to Elena. What else would you want for them? And quite literally out of nowhere, because never is he mentioned previously, Nate has a brother. This is inconsistent with the series because when Drake and Sully are recalling their history in Uncharted 3 when they're in the woods before entering the chateau, never was Sam mentioned. Neither was he in the flashbacks in U3.
    Sam was created out of nowhere for the sole purpose of this game, and if you ask me, It's something you just don't do. I never liked Sam since he was announced and the game didn't really do much to make me like him, so I don't really care for him.

    The first few chapters of Uncharted 4 would have been better if Uncharted 4 was released 10 years from now. As a fan of the series, they were appreciated but taking a big step back and looking at the whole thing, it just doesn't have lasting impact.
    One reason for this is because Uncharted 4 is the slowest paced game in the series. It took too long for things to kick into high gear.

    in Uncharted 2, chapter 5 is when it starts to get good, but at least the pace picked up in Chapter 3 and 4.
    In Uncharted 3, things pick up almost immediately with the bar scene, slows down a bit, but picks back up not too long afterward. Uncharted 3 does this throughout the game and if you ask me, just doesnt make it as good as 2.

    Uncharted 4 on the other hand, doesn't pick up the pace till the very end of Chapter 9!!!! Uncharted 4 is a much slower game. If not, the slowest Uncharted.
    Possibly influenced a little too much by The Last of Us. That's not even mentioning a few other things it took from Naught Dog's previous game.

    Was a wrong to expect train/airplane crazy moments in Uncharted 4?I mean, this Uncharted we're talking about.
    I was replaying the big moment in Chapter 11 and I noticed something was off. It just wasn't as fun as it should be.
    So I looked back on some videos i have saved from Uncharted 2 and 3.
    The insane moments of Uncharted 2 and 3 had some epic, Indiana Jones-esque, adventurous, music that just made the moments so much more better. Uncharted 4 just doesn't have it in it's single best moment and it is such a big disappointment.

    That is my overall take with Uncharted 4: An Unnecessary Sequel. A slow paced, unevenful, anticlimactic sequel.

    I gotta give credit where credit is due tho.
    The graphics are freaking great.
    The acting is superb.
    Cinematography was alright.
    The story was the best told story in an Uncharted game.
    and although the antagonist was the most human and least cartoonish ,they just cant beat Lazarovitch.    … Expand

    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 towards proving that videogaming should be considered an Art. THE ART :)

    There are a lot of people giving a zero score to this game - they should think again. But the thousands of people giving this game a perfect score should also. I just finished this game, and can't say it lives up to the hype.

I just finished this game, and can't say it lives up to the hype.

    First - as other reviewers have pointed out - the absence of Amy Hennig, the director of the previous Uncharted games, is thoroughly felt. In the first seven levels of Uncharted 4 the new directors try to give Nathan Drake a personal backgroundstory: his marriage problems, his issues with his brother and his boring 9 to 5 job. But is this really that interesting? Does this really belong in an Uncharted game? I remember Nathan Drake as the carefree adventurer, who doesn't have to worry about his wife or feel guilty about a long lost family member. The new directors make Drake far too serious. This is Uncharted we're talking about, not The Last of Us.

    Fortunately, in the eight level the game really kicks in and the old Uncharted vibe starts. For Uncharted veterans, it's probably familiair territory, even so that I couldn't sometimes help but feel "been there, done that". The addition of two new elements - the grapple hook and stealth-mode - isn't probably enough to make veterans of the series feel involved. Besides, there are two games that make use of these elements in a far superior way: the Tomb Raider reboot and Metal Gear Solid respectively.

    Furthermore, there is a lot of climbing in this game. A lot more then in the previous games, and maybe even too much. Besides, the climbing isn't that much of a challenge. Falling down almost becomes a challenge in itself.

    Last but not least, the characters aren't that interesting. Why bother watching great looking cutscenes when the characters in it aren't engaging? Sam is a pretty shallow guy, and Elena is just the average perfect wife. I always preferred Chloe, she had much more humor, was sensual and had much more personality. Only Sully is still interesting, as is Nathan himself - although he should have more of his trademark ironic oneliners.

    All in all: the game looks gorguous and the controls are great. Especially newcomers to the series should buy this game. But in the end, I'm personally kind of relieved this is the last Uncharted game. Unless Amy Hennig comes back, but that's a long shot.    … Expand

    TL:DR: Uncharted 4 is a very beautiful and engaging game with great characters which unfortunately suffers from lack of customization and platforming gets repetitive by the end

    Story and characters 9/10: All our favorite characters are back: Elena, Sully, Nathan. And of course, the plot revolves around a treasure and a villain who wants it for himself. But it's not the plot which makes the story good (let's face it, the plot is OK), but rather the interactions between the characters and the emotional moments they experience. Except for one or two scenes, the story is mostly your typical National Treasure plot: "and this will lead to another clue, and this will lead to another clue"

    Music, graphics and animations 9/10: Both are very much on the level. In one scene, the background noises subtly disappear and only the music is left, creating a very surreal feeling. The graphics are par for the course: everything looks wonderful. Now, animations is there the game occasionally stumbles: while the hair movement is very natural, and moving through high grass and taking out enemies feels almost too real, the climbing animations are absolutely unrealistic, with Nathan basically clipping to where he needs to be despite clearly not having enough reach or momentum. To me, that killed the platforming so much that by the end I just wanted no more platforming at all. Alas, the game creators thought otherwise, and the game is VERY platforming heavy, with occasional bursts of enemies to have fun with.

    Gameplay and replay value 8/10: so, as I mentioned before, I did not like platforming at all, despite how beautiful the views are. The combat, on the other hand, is great. Each area can be approached with stealth or guns blazing, and detection meters help understand when there's a risk of being spotted. I have managed to clear quite a few areas without breaking stealth. Sometimes there's no other option other than start shooting, and the game is fun here as well: the guns have weight to them, whether you are using a pistol or a grenade launcher. So yes, very fun. However, since there's no customization options, once I went through an areas with stealth and guns, that's it. The game realizes that - the menu after end game even gives you direct access to all the combat encounters directly, so you can skip all the walking and climbing.

    Multiplayer: I don't play MP and I don't care, sorry.

    Overall, it's definitely a must play, but in the long term YMMV.    … 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. 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]
