    If you have a PS4 and have yet to buy this game you are truly missing out on one of the best, if not the best, titles to come to next gen consoles.

Perfectly blending exploration, problem solving, and Hollywood worthy action, Uncharted 4 is arguably the most balanced game on the market. And let's not forget to mention that aesthetically speaking this game just set a new bar, the graphics are simply breathtaking, and when combined with ultra smooth gameplay you truly feel as if you are controlling the latest summer blockbuster.

    Uncharted 4 doesn't stop at an on point campaign, the game's multiplayer is also very satisfying and adds a high level of replay value. While at first seeming somewhat limited (at least in regards to game modes, and maps), the Multiplayer in reality offers a good amount of weapons, add ons, and load out customization that caters to all players no matter if you're a run and gun type or prefer a support role. Did I mention you still have you're grappling hook? You do and it comes in quite handy both for offensive and defensive play. I will admit that the multiplayer is probably not for everybody. If you prefer a rogue style of play, giving little regard to the positioning of your teammates, you probably won't last long. Teamwork is key, and while maybe being a turn off for some players, overall the strategic nature of the matches compliments the multiplayer gameplay very well.

    At the end of the day Uncharted 4 is arguably the most polished game on the market and is a joy to play.
    I truly cannot find one negative thing to say about it.    … Expand

    Simply the best game of all time, a technical masterpiece, bravo Naughty Dog. If you've never played this game, you lost a lot. Best graphics, best game design, best adventure, rigorous study of levels and detail, a great story and the real live characters, all - ancharted.

I felt it very fun to play, and I truly recommend it for every action-adventure videogame lover. The only flaws I could spot were the slower nature of introductory levels, as well as that the enemies cannot see my allies when I'm hiding (clearly a design choice). Still, not meaningful to give less than a 10.    … Expand

    Finally a game with straight white male protagonist! A rare sighting in this day and age!

    It's 2016 and games with straight white males as protagonists are a dying breed, so we have to cherish them.

    This game is stunnig, just like the past 2 games (The first one and Golden Abyss are good but not incredible) you will be always at the edge of the coach, great sequences of driving, exploring, shooting all mixed up in a way you wanna continue and continue, that with an incredible script make it a must have for the PS4 and for this console-gen.
    PD I think the game deserves a 9.5

    There are a few annoying things that naughty dog hasn't ironed out of this game. Like their previous games, they often rely on slowing the player down by trapping them and forcing them to look for boxes to stand on. It gets a little old. The hints are useless and annoying and once activated never stop flashing on the screen, which can become infuriating since they don't help and repeat things the NPCs are also saying repeatedly. Just turn off hints. Look it up if you're that stuck. And finally, the dialogue can get pretty cheesy and some of the twists are a bit predictable. These are all minor complaints that dont detract to much from the game but keep it from reaching 10/10.    … Expand

Anyone somewhere close to sanity must realise that a tendency somewhere around 9 or 10 is simply the only way to go for this one. Especially those who realy played the game. Beautiful lore presented with stunning visuals and audio, immersive character design and dialogue creating a suck-you-in-and-spit-you-out-atmosphere unparalleled in the genre. Gameplay mechanics are elaborated close to perfection. Only things negative from my pov are the animations, which seem a bit flawed at times, especially when jumping, and the now and then a bit repetitive mission design. I'd rate 9/10 but have to give it a full 10 to compensate for all the zeros.… Expand

    Not really my kind of game but gave it a try after my friend insisted me to play the series. The graphics are grate and the story was alright but the game play isn´t anything special and there is no reason for you to explore the maps except for maybe some trophy. No useful items or anything like that to be found.

    I really take my hat off to Uncharted 4’s writers, Neil Druckmann and Josh Scherr, you can clearly see they have an amazing understanding of how real people assess and reacts to emotional situations, especially when they have something to lose.

Not spoiling to much of the story, but Uncharted 4 opens up with Nathan Drake having retired from the treasure hunting business and seemingly embraced the ordinary life with us now wife Elena. He now owns a house and said mortgage on the house, and for all intents and purposes he is just an average Joe now doing mostly normal salvage work. But this all changes when he learns that his brother Samuel is alive and well and in need of his help using his skills as a treasure hunter.

    Between the two writers and the amazing voice talents of both voice actor Troy Baker and Nolan North. It doesn’t take you long to appreciate and get attached to Samuel as Nathan’s brother. He is confident and charismatic, pretty much like his little brother. But he is also clearly in awe of Nathan’s skills and talent as a treasure hunter. Nathan has also done some growing up and maturing since Uncharted 3, he often acts as the voice of reason throughout the story. This is rather jolting in a series known for reckless sense of adventure, but it also clearly demonstrates a level of maturity that Nathan has gained throughout is prior adventures. And that shows a level of commitment by Neil Druckmann and Josh Scherr to the character of Nathan Drake.

    But even more importantly we get to see the relationship between Nathan and Elena develop. How as a married couple they battle with their past and current events. And how the current set of events that unfold puts a strain on their relationship. The most touching scene for me in the entire game was when Nathan having just discovered an important new clue, babbles excitedly about it and basically “geek outs” while Elena listens. “That’s incredible,” she says, but you know from the look of love and utter heartbreak on her face that she’s not talking about Nathan’s story he is telling her. But rather Nathan’s addiction to the thrill of the chase, and what it might mean for their own troubled relationship and marriage.

    To be able to read that level of emotion from a video game characters face, rather than having them spell out their feelings through voice acting, is an extremely rare achievement in video games. Naughty Dog has always set the bar high for cinematic storytelling in video games (The Last of Us comes to mind). But the digital performances in Uncharted 4, combined with the talented actors providing the characters voices and movements set the bar for the industry standard even higher than I ever could have imagined. The same amount of perfection and polish that went into the motion capture also went into the rest of the game. I lost count the amount of times I just randomly stopped during the game to appropriate the scenery around me.

    The game also sports some of the best world design I have ever seen, and I am not over exaggerating here. There’s a painstaking amount of detail that went into every part of Uncharted 4, to the point where I began to worry I wasn’t seeing every last bit of it so I ended up exploring every single nook and cranny while playing for fear of missing out on another amazing vista or view. And like everything else in Uncharted 4, Naughty Dog has vastly improved the combat system. Every combat situation in Uncharted 4 now has multiple solutions, you can either go in guns blazing or take the stealthy approach. There are now multiple paths (Thanks to the more expansive areas) from which you can engage your targets, which you can now tag which is an extremely handy feature.

    And both the grappling hook and refined stealth system make it easier to out manoeuvre your enemies, you now have the ability to use your grappling hook in combat and sneak through tall grass. The best encounters in Uncharted 4 plays out like a chess game, with you attempting to find a route to out flank your enemies and gain the upper hand. On the harder difficulty levels you end up dying more than once, but instead of it becoming frustrating like other games it becomes more of a challenge, to see what other route or methods you can use to out-fight and out-flank your enemies.

    I can consider the best Playstation 4 title and video game I have played to date and right next to The Last of Us. And when it is all said and done, Uncharted 4 delivers the fan service franchise fans will absolutely love and enjoy. And in the process giving us one of the best send-offs we could have ever asked for Nathan Drake and his crew.    … 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]
