    The story is very nice. Graphics are awsome. But the game was played in full by my 8 years old son in 6 day. I think we needed a more complex and longer game. Short game play.

    Worst game ever. It offers nothing new to the franchise. Music is bland. The story is boring. Options are poor. This is the worst game i have ever played. Most people who play this are letting the previous game's in this franchise dictate how good this game is. Not worth the money i put down.

    The gameplay is repetive and just poorly made... I guess the only good thing that this game has are the physics and graphics, seriously, this game didn't deserve to be GOTY..

    First, the story was written by women that writes her own story without pandering some sort of crowd and try to score some diversity points, the story and 8 months of work was thrown to make room for their writer that make plotholes as a trademark of every story he makes, last three chapters felt rushed with main villain's mercenaries that were named not doing anything worthy in the story.
    second, the game removed tons of features or more so they didn't know how to bring them back since they base the whole game based on tlou, a game 100% different than the way Uncharted played, removing enemy types and putting the least amount of focus on gun play or fights, most of the story is an unskippable blabber, worst gun fights in the series.
    lastly, the multiplayer was rushed and it didn't address past game faults or take into consideration what actual mechanics were important from community perspective, the developers were dragging conversations and making them seem like they improved some modes, plunder, an objective gamemode, was a miss and plays worse than the first or second mp installment, game was released with with 3 modes with nothing that welcomed old players that didn't like the new additions, such as sidekicks, these AI "helpers" took time to make and program, instead of trying to include co-op modes on release like every uncharted mp, they were making AI to ruin player vs. player gameplay, multiplayer was released with less modes than last game, why? they blamed that it is a complete different game on a new console.

    I could go on and on but this game is clearly a rushed game by devs trying to complete it for their delayed deadline, they even removed players earningship for a system that barley rewards player with extra stuff for performance during a match, you only get 10 relics and one daily challenge (this is where all your relics are mostly earned from), player choice in buying items with his match earned cash was replaced by relics chest rng system, sure it is no duplicates but the grind is flat out trying to make you buy their fake currency, the stuff are priced way too expensive compared to tlou, weapons in tlou were price individually with a price tag of no more than $0.99, here the weapons are priced +300 coins each (100 coins is a dollar), they went full microtransactions for a game that is not free to play, the base game barely had any content and it still had microtransactions on its items, this game is nothing but a scam on Uncharted fans.    … Expand

    The game is utter crap. Terrible story, characters and repetitive climbing gameplay. I am not even talking about problems the game has with logic and plot. You can see the main twist miles away and, frankly you dont give a **** about this twist, because you don't give a **** about your brother, he is such an uninteresting and irritating person.

    If you've played tomb raider then this game attempts to be tomb raider but has a male character instead of lara. Decent graphics but nothing new here. Another overrated ps4 game.Rise and shadow of the tomb raider are better games but have lower ratings.

Though not all the side characters are perfect (personally I cared little for Sam), this is still a good send off for Drake.

    The biggest question for this game was always going to be if it was actually better to play. A place the series has had small roadbumps with in the past. Thankfully, it has improved, but unfortunately not to the degree one would hope. Shooting feels better, and adding the rope into environments has added an extra flavor to chest high walls, but it still all falls into the serviceable category. Especially after the tense and fun stealth play in LoU.

    At the end of they, how you felt about the UC series prior to this, is almost certainly going to be echoed within 4. Its gotten far prettier (one of the prettiest games ever), and has made some nice strides, but this is also a world 5 years removed from Uncharted 3 and one that has continually moved forward, giving it a much higher bar to reach. Ultimately it all comes down to what you want. If you want a highly cinematic/narrative driven experience, then this is a game for you.    … Expand

    It's an on rails shooter at best and a movie you sometimes participate in at worst. Obviously the graphics are good, but what else would you expect when naughty dog get budgets beyond comprehension. It's a shallow game with good graphics, voice acting, story. But that is it.

Obviously the graphics are good, but what else would you expect when naughty dog get budgets beyond comprehension. It's a shallow game with good graphics, voice acting, story. But that is it. There is nothing to it. Point, click, press button to climb. That is as much depth as you will experience in this game and it's the same with the last of us. This should've been a movie, just like the other games.

    The reason uncharted 1 was so successful is because we hadn't had a game like it since the earlier tomb raider games, which trump uncharted massively just by the by. The series continued, turning into just a set piece machine. Huge budget, small gameplay. It's sad, because this could have been something special. It has the graphics and story, like we said earlier. It also has the characters and acting. But it's missing the most important thing that makes games great. BEING AN ACTUAL GAME. THAT YOU CONTROL. NOT A GAME THAT IS ON RAILS, HAS 3 BUTTONS YOU USE TO SLIGHLY INTERACT.

    It's honestly pathetic to me that this game gets so many good reviews compared to games like Quantum Break or Control. Absolutely zero effort went into uncharted 4 to make it interesting to play. The proof is in the pudding. Play this game 3 times, and each time you will have EXACTTTTTTTLY the same experience. And i mean exactly.

    Graphics aren't everything. Picking up toys in a loft and inspecting them is not gameplay. On rails shooter is not gameplay. Pressing the same button repeatedly to climb, where there is no chance of failure because the game plays itself for you, is not gameplay. Climbing is also on rails. Pathetic. There are literally no ways to die in this game if you play on medium or below. Climbing is impossible to fail and is the most boring thing in this game. Which in itself tells a story, considering how much this game MAKES YOU CLIMB. climb climb climb climb. Not a game. It plays itself like i said earlier. The story is fun for the first few hours, before the monotony kicks in like a nasty pill.

    Judging by this game and the last of us 2, it becomes more and more apparent how incompetent of a studio naughty dog is. They should move to making movies, fire their script writers, and PLEASE stop making games. Or atleast, go back to making crash bandicoot or something. Actual games. Not this on rails press button to win garbage. Makes me so frustrated because this could be something special with the budget these idiots get for every game they poop out. Washed up hacks, LOU2 is proof that these guys need to just stop.

    Another sad thing to note is how much the sony fan girls eat this stuff up. Praising it as if it were the second coming. I bought my PS4 because i was told the exclusive games can be amazing. This turned out to be true, mostly. Spiderman, Horizon, God of War, these are the games people with half a brain cell want. Brain dead zombies that want a visual novel to play are the ones buying into naughty dogs trash. Makes me so sad. Oh well.

    0/10 on rails shooter. Never buying a naughty dog game ever again.    … Expand

    That game just did not allow me to fight her and that makes me just hate her even more. She is overpowered and there is absolutly no realism in this.

    2. Not consistent character
    Last fight and Nathan does not hit that second guy with a sword but with a fist!!! 3000 or more people were killed by Nathan! But at the end (and EVERYTHING we have learned about that second guy) he wants to play a GOOD guy and don't kill enemy...

    3. control while sliding on pc seems to be not working right
    4. Too much action so it is no longer suprising that something will break
    5. Bad physics while on rope and that "glue" feel
    6. I hate those cars with turrets.... so unreal when those chase you! The are stuck! But no and again! Like a stupid big dog with so unreallistic physics.
    7. You can't throw back granade
    8. You cannot move bodies

    Graphics is HUGE plus! Level design and story too.
    Too many repeated sections at the end - when I had that feel its over I had to climb again and again....

    I am so disappointed in them for even producing this and they should be ashamed of it as well. A sign of an awesome game is that it grabs you and is exciting and makes you want to rush home to play it... and this game really lacks on both of these points. I have played some really terrible games in my time... but this one really ranks up there with the worst of them.

    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]
