    Il gioco è decisamente il migliore della serie dal punto di vista grafico e narrativo, ma purtroppo la trama ha dei colpi di scena banali.

    Nice game with great environment graphics. The story is also engaging.

    Neg:
    - The missions become a bit repetitive after a while. It could have some challenges in climbing.
    - The guns sound and feel the same!

    Amazing graphics and one of the best car chase experiences I have ever had in a game. But the story seems a bit weak. I honestly can't remember anything that happened in the game now that the last time I played it was about three years ago lol

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I really enjoyed Uncharted 4. I think it is a very fun game that does not take itself too seriously but still manages a compelling storyline with interesting characters. All the gameplay elements of previous games congregate here for very satisfying combat and platforming.

    Uncharted 4 was the first ps4 game I played. I played it in 2016, shortly after its release, as my ps4 console came with a free copy of the game - and I was blown away by many things. Perhaps without it, i would not have embarked on such a gaming journey, or had such a thirst for single player, narrative-driven games. I decided to revisit the game in 2023.

I played it in 2016, shortly after its release, as my ps4 console came with a free copy of the game - and I was blown away by many things. Perhaps without it, i would not have embarked on such a gaming journey, or had such a thirst for single player, narrative-driven games. I decided to revisit the game in 2023.

    The good: the way the tutorial was seamlessly incorporated into the game, the graphics and attention to detail in this linear game still hold up today. Chapter 10 (Madacascar) is one of the best looking, well-crafted, iconic, and fun locations I have ever played. Sam and Sullivan are not just pleasant company but also helpful and intelligent/insightful, on top of being written like veritable adults. The puzzles, the climbing, the variety of locations and guns. The way u can choose between 2 methods of playing/killing (stealth and/or overt shooting). The writing and the way they talk like real adults is refreshing. as a kid I did not pay as much attention to the themes of the story or the dialogue credibility, but now, which a bit more age and maturity, I can retrospectively see how awesome these were. I think the length and difficulty were appropriate. It also has an underrated soundtrack: it sounds like its from a high budget 2000s movie with all the orchestral music/instruments it contains. It also does a good job conveying sadness when needed, and the sense of adventure too. It constantly made me think/picture about the old age of naval piracy. A fantastic, well-suited original soundtrack. Finally, the colour modes and photo mode are things I count as positives.

    What could have been improved: they should have added a crouch button and sprint button. The option to pick which cover to go to (show it clearly, like the division's cover system). The render distances are not great. It is noticeable/distracting (u notice how bad quality far away objects/places are) but this was an early ps4 title, im viewing this game through a ps5/2023 lens.

    Conclusion: what a game, the graphics barely show signs of being outdated, 6 years later. Naughty dog's linear yet high budget and meticulously crafted levels and animations makes for a very gripping and satisfying game. The gameplay is fun, the story and its themes are interesting and relatively relatable. The characters are well written and play important and memorable roles. there is never a dull moment really, and the game is not too long nor too short. an iconic, staple of the ps4 and of story-driven single player games. I have few criticisms, except there isnt much replayability in my opinion, which is the main factor of the score not being higher: I give the game 85/100.    … Expand

Es muy espectacular pero deja de ser creible todo aquello que le ocurre a los protagonistas, pareciendo inmortales ante el mayor de los peligros, mientras que los enemigos caen por todos lados. Le coges gran cariño a los personajes pero deseas que el desenlace de la historia acabe llegando ya que resulta obvio tras tres aventuras previas. La acción sigue funcionando y el modo dificil crea un reto adecuado.    … Expand

    93/100 is an awfully high review for a non-open-world 3D platformer. I liked this game a lot the first time I played it in when it was called "Rise of the Tombraider." I just recently purchased a PS4 so that I could not only experience this title, but the other PS4 exclusive titles. Thus far, I'm finding that I wasn't missing much.

I just recently purchased a PS4 so that I could not only experience this title, but the other PS4 exclusive titles. Thus far, I'm finding that I wasn't missing much.

    This is by no means a bad game at all. I paid $15.00 for it, which I consider a bargain. It's probably worth about $40.00. But to give this game a rating that puts it in the realm of "Witcher 3," "Red Dead Redemption 2," or even "Far Cry XX" territory is absurd. This game is Tomb Raider with a male protagonist and more gunfights (a lot more gunfights). It does a lot of things well, but it also does a lot of things not so well. It's an average game, basically.

    For example, I mentioned the gunfights. They're pretty ridiculous. You're a God-like bullet-sponge that can absorb infinite damage assuming you're able to scurry behind cover after every tenth gunshot wound. The gunfights aren't not-fun I suppose. They're basically whack-a-mole style like Gears of War. What bothers me is that you can tell the game wants you to try a stealth approach in lieu of many (but not all) of the gunfights. This stealth approach involves sneaking up on enemy gunmen and strangling them to death. To help you in this task, they utilize the tall-grass-hiding mechanic from, among other games, the Assassin's Creed series. The problem is, however, that you can't beckon enemies to your hidden location like you can do in every other game with stealth mechanics. So, basically, you're hidden in the tall grass with an enemy perhaps five feet away, but you can't whistle or throw a rock to beckon them towards you. You just have to hope that they amble towards you and fall into your trap like a spider and a web.

    Because of the useless stealth mechanics detailed in the immediately preceding paragraph, you often have to dart out from cover and strangle enemies to death in full view of the world. Your hope is that you won't fall into the viewing radius of any of the other enemy APCs while doing so. There's not really any good way to thwart this possibility. The Hitman series does a great job with this by providing you with a map that reveals the enemy NPCs line of sight. This games doesn't do that at all. It's basically just dumb luck if you murder an enemy NPC and don't get caught. What's worse, if you're trying to be stealthy, then you're necessarily behind enemy lines. So if you do alert an enemy NPC in your attempt, then they'll all immediately and simultaneously open fire on you. You're at a strategic disadvantage at that point because, like I said, you're behind enemy lines. Stealth in this game, basically, doesn't work.

    So you have to go in guns blazing Gears of War style like I stated earlier. If they made it so you could silence the guns like in Far Cry or Tomb Raider, it would've made a massive difference in the game play experience. But they didn't. Anyway, the next issue is the game's overall style.

    It's not open-world. It's not even close. The levels give you the impression that they're massive and lend themselves to exploration, but you'll soon find that they're not. This is a linear platformer. The little subworld aren't even as big as Tomb Raiders. This is basically the on-rails style of Gears of War coupled with the climbing/platformer of Tomb Raider.

    Like I said earlier, this isn't a bad game. The graphics are decent, but not over the top. The water graphics are straight-up hideous, and this is my assessment after playing on a PS4 Pro. The voice acting is very good, and I liked the characters. That's not a small compliment either - that's the game's best asset, and it's the reason why I would recommend giving this game a shot.

    But, in the end, this isn't a "93/100." If I'm being charitable, I'd give this game a 77/100.    … Expand

    It is incredibly well made. Production quality is off the charts, art direction, graphics, animations, sound, everything is top notch. Unfortunately it is not a very good game, its basic gameplay mechanics -- shooting, climbing, driving -- are very limited, repetitive, and boring. You can have only so many fake close calls before it becomes yawn inducing rather than exciting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Spoilers below should be minimal, I hope.

    Originally I was a little annoyed that people (user score) gave this game abysmal ratings so I gave it a 10 and didn't bother writing a review. Anyway, now that I've finished the game I was annoyed enough to come back and change my rating.

    This game is pretty good. It doesn't merit a 10 nor a 9 but it certainly doesn't merit anything in the 0-3 range either.

    The graphics were as expected, pretty great. Some people are saying it doesn't compare to other games but for me to actually bother taking prtingscreens throughout the whole game, I think its close enough to a 10/10 on graphics.

    The ladder and crate mechanic in order to simply delay your progress to add dialogue and to allegedly mask a short game destroys immersion and is completely unnecessary. I say short game because there's a trophy that asks you to finish it in under 6 hours (Took me 15 hours). The dialogue with the characters could have been handled better than using this mechanic, especially since the whole time I kept thinking "use the rope moron" Without spoiling too much the conversations you had while ridding the elevator with your truck was one way to handle it or simply the driving around convos. The crate thing I could've forgiven if it didn't happen so frequently. One of the things I dreaded the most in the entire game wasn't drowning by not finding an exit underwater in time it was, when is the next damn scene where I'm stuck doing nothing for several minutes because of a crate scene. There was one particular event where I instantly figured out what needed to be done yet I had to play along with whatever the creators had in mind until the game basically said "OK you played along with our time sink we'll let you continue".

    The pirate story overall was top notch and I really enjoyed it. I really can't say anything bad about how it was presented. As for the non-pirate stuff. The confrontation between the married couple felt sloppy and overall awkward to the point where I figured if they would have just broken up right then and there we could move on with the real story.

    The final battle was disappointing because it strongly felt like it was just a rhythm game. If they would have handled it with maybe a bit of action or something and tossed in some "rhythm gaming" in between it wouldn't have been so bad. Still it managed to be intense because, since I avoided social media for several days to escape spoilers, I really had no clue what would happen.

    I liked most of the characters however I got to say I was disappointed with the Nadine character. She felt forced and out of place and in the end it felt like they just dropped her out of the game and gave up on her (this isn't very accurate but I don't want to spoil too much). Victor was great as usual but was severely underused, though this is most likely because of the brothers plot so it's almost forgivable.

    This game was worth buying but I'm glad the series appears to be over because I don't think I'd buy Uncharted 5 unless they promised to drop the time sinks. At least the artifacts were not obligatory because after awhile I just gave up on them.    … Expand

    Uncharted 4 is a pig with such exquisite lipstick you won't mind rolling around in the mud with it for a day or so. Production values, especially with the animations, voice acting, lighting and textures, not to mention bombastic set pieces, are so mesmerizing I often wandered casually around the levels just to soak it all in. In this regard, the game truly feels next gen.

In this regard, the game truly feels next gen.

    My gripes with the game are the same as they've always been with this franchise. Its B-movie Indiana Jones blockbuster aesthetic makes me feel like I've been hanging out on a Hollywood film set for 16 hours rather than truly transported to some exotic locale, as I did with the Tomb Raider series.

    The gameplay, while fluid and polished to perfection, is starting to grow a little stale. It's a good hodge podge of tried-and-true elements of a contemporary action game, with free running, stealth, cover shooting and just a bit of physics based platforming thrown in for good measure. While it suffers a bit from that on-rails feeling of these linear, narrative-driven games, it does offer a couple of different paths through each section to give the player some agency.

    In all though, only the updated grappling hook / rope felt fresh to this programmer's thumbs. Compared to the graphical innovations, a lot of these gameplay elements felt archaic. One hopes for the day when such colossal technical and artistic labor is in service to gameplay that's more interesting than "press x a lot to climb this building and be sure to shoot all the bad guys in the head."    … Expand

    Overall: I didn’t mind the slower pace, I love the Last of Us and at times UC4 played more like this, however the development issues showed in places. The ridiculous amount of climbing/platforming as opposed to the series trademark set pieces was disappointing. Overall I was ready to completely slam this, but they just about won me back with the last few hours and the excellent ending/epilogue.

    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]
