    Climb Climb Climb shootout shootout cutscene climb climb shootout climb cutscene shootout cutscene climb climb climb, that's uncharted 4 in a nutshell a tired old formula with nothing new. It's enjoyable at times but never reaches any great heights.

    Don't get me wrong it is a good game but it was massively over hyped for what it is in my opinion. As with all uncharted games i just found it to be too short and linear but maybe its just me.

The Ps4 is after all, one of the most popular gaming consoles out there, and treasured by most game developers. (leaving the PC out of this) I was also surprised to see that the popular game, Uncharted 4 came with it. I didn’t know much about that game, except it had amazing graphics on the ps4, and that it was the ending of a certain series. So, my mom and grandparents bought me the first three games.
    As I was playing the first game, I realized it was also kind of practice for me to learn how to use the controller. It didn’t take long for me to become an adept button masher, but there’s still times I hesitate and fail the game. Since I started with the Xbox 360 console, the ps4 controller is a bit harder to figure out. I’m more use to pressing B than a red circle. But having a frustrating controller isn’t the worst. I’m able to tolerate it because of the distracting game graphics. I mean, the second game looked as if it came out in 2013 rather than 2009.
    A few of the games I own now have multiplayer. The fact that both the console developers and game developers were able to lap something so amazing into one, stunned me. The visuals, being able to communicate with other people you can relate to, and a clear frame rate with almost no glitches and lags.
    I’m finally happy to have upgraded to ps4, but still a little upset that I had to leave all the progress I made on my xbox. The ps4 is worth it, and I can tell there are still amazing games waiting to be played. I can finally play with my friends and better my gaming skills. I encourage those pc gamers to give the console a shot, and extend their game options. And of course I recommend the ps4 to any and every person with opposable thumbs.

    Game looks great and has fantastic level of detail. However, gameplay is bland as climbing gets boring after about 5 minutes. The story is very generic and predictable. Its good but it I don't see why it gets so much praise. Go play tomb raider instead.

    A brilliant story with fantastic graphics and acting.

    Unfortunately, the gameplay comes last. Uncharted 2 was incredible, but I feel like there was an aspect of novelty to it. Now that we've been around the block (or world) a few times with Drake, each shooting or climbing section feels overly familiar, almost like you've already played that exact part before.

    Also, this game initially feels like you're wearing someone else's way-too-strong glasses. Everything looks incredible when you're not moving at all. Then you turn your head and the whole world becomes a blurry mess. Do yourself a favor and immediately turn the Motion Blur all the way off. I have no idea why anyone thought that was a good thing to implement.

    If you've never played an Uncharted game before, I'd recommend you play 2 instead. However, coming into this without previous Uncharted experience is probably the best way to enjoy it.    … Expand

    Car chase and sword actions were impressive and enjoyable. But the game system was exactly same as previous Uncharted series. I found myself asleep during game play and was able to predict next situation after certain events/actions. Naughty Dog is always making movie style game with playable actions. Very enjoyable with first 2 titles, but it's all same after first two. True that I had high expectation because of critic but it was definitely over-rated. I have no problem with Story, good finish of franchise. Music was so so.

    Btw, why am I collecting treasure? Naughty Dog could add estimated prices of treasure so it shows how it helped his mortgage payments. But they didn't, exactly same as previous series.

    At the end, I've found out that I've killed 747 people during game. I am sure Nathan was slaughter, not a thief. And he was very happy and gave big smile to others when he talked about his journey. He must be psychopath.

    Overall, I give 6.5 but round up so its 7

    While this is the most beautiful Uncharted has looked, it's the one I enjoyed the least. Mainly because the story felt so incredibly emotionally manipulative. They ignored 3 games worth of getting to know Nathan and his life, just so they could try and wring some emotional reactions out of Nathan's relationship with his never before mentioned brother.

    This sudden appearance by Sam also made it painfully obvious what was going to happen, because in every story that has a never before mentioned family member show up, the family member will either die or betray the main characters. It's incredibly cliche and predictable.
    There are some nice improvements on the mechanics, but nothing really groundbreaking.
    Still, this is an adventure like you'd expect from Uncharted and it is a lot of fun when it just focuses on that and less on the family therapy.    … Expand

    3) very adventurous for the most part and the story was pretty good.....but that is pretty much all the good i have to say about this game. What i disliked about it was:
    1) repetitive climbing and looking for crates.
    2) most of the climbing and jumps don't seem ideal for Nathan to do, but he does them.
    3) Sam is useless as he will just stand around and wait for you to come up with a plan on how to get over a structure. In the beginning of the game Sam just stood by Victor's car and LITERALLY WATCHED me get shot at. I was like what are you doing man, help a brother out! Sam is kind of dumb when engaging combat as he will just run out while the enemy is still firing.
    4) NO SPRINT! There have been many times where i am like now would be a good time to sprint, but the designers decided to leave it out for some reason.
    5) Going stealth mode in this game is lame as there was no crouch, no silent pistol and no whistling. Eventually i just gave up on stealth mode and just started firing at everybody.
    4) the vehicle controls aren't that great.
    5) This game got very boring at times just because the amount of land I had to cover and also the amount of climbing.
    6) There is some bullet sponging

    With the likes and dislikes combined I still liked this game, just not as much as other people.    … Expand

    The good: good graphics. The support of Sully and the brother. The action sequences.

The artificial intelligence of the enemies is anything but intelligent and is based more on putting more shooters than on posing a challenge or making a strategy

    Lo Meh !: you can the Trophy "do the E3" leave Nathan standing waiting without doing anything. As if the remote was disconnected. The game's agenda towards the politically correct.

    U4 is completely unnecessary, and in my opinion unwelcome, but it still held most of the good aspects of the previous games. The storyline of brotherhood was beautifully done, but it was frustrating that that was seemingly the only reasoning behind this game: a character that didn't exist before, but did now so that Naughty Dog could pop out another game in the extremely popular franchise.U4 is completely unnecessary, and in my opinion unwelcome, but it still held most of the good aspects of the previous games.

If you want to look forward to more unfair amounts of climbing, more great writing (besides the Deus Ex Machina brother for the makers who want more money), and more disposable AI's that only exist for their heads to be pew-pewed, then U4 is for you. I enjoyed it and I LOVED the ending, but that was also the case with U3, which could have been the franchise's R.I.P. date. Plus, you get Henry Jackman on the soundtrack.

    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]
