    It feels like something entirely new but it also feels familiar, I finished it surprisingly quickly because I was so engaged in the Story and in the gameplay. Once again, naughty dog has given us an amazing Game worth checking out. This Game is a Game of the Year potential winner.

After playing and finishing U4, I had that same feeling when U2 came out and more.

    The story was awesome, getting back to past companions like Sully and Elena. Sam was a good addition with the talent voice of Troy Baker (you'd mistake Nolan and Troy to be brothers) very well acted.

    The biggest take away for me was the design and quality of the environment. It is unbelievable! The level of detail and the cinematics look so realistic. The physics is great especially driving through the mud and streams with a jeep in Madagascar to swimming under flooded buildings and running through wind and snow in the Scottish Highlands. As Sully would say it "Goddamn"!

    I can't put anything to a negative except the lack of Co Op. I thought this was a wasted opportunity as Drake is normally accompanied by another NPC like Sam, Elena or Sully. It would be awesome to play Couch Co Op with a mate and laugh at each others mishaps falling off cliffs and ledges to their violent death.

    Multiplayer is really fun but can be a bit better especially the Match finding can take a long time. Lots of content to collect ranging from perks for your guns to visual like Emotes, new skins and costumes. It was great to see the past characters like Flynn, Chloe and Cutter back to play as PvP characters.

    Overall, I give this a 9.5 but I'll round it off to a 10 since it is the last of the series and swansong to Drake's adventures (?) ...plus they put in a small PS1 game in there for the old school players like me. Predicting this to be GOTY edging off Dark Souls 3

    Not much of a reviewer but OMG... What a game. I don't have anything bad to say about it and I'm usually the one nitpicking every little thing.

    So let me just say: Bravo, Naughty Dog. Bra-vo. Can't wait in what the future holds next. Still hoping for a Crash Bandicoot reboot.

    Uncharted 4 es el cierre perfecto, posiblemente el mejor de la saga, otro juego sobresaliente de una Naughty Dog que no sabe hacer nada mediocre.
    Es un contínuo homenaje que emociona de principio a fin. Nate, Elena y Sully, a los que conocimos hace 10 años, ya son historia del videojuego.

    Well...here we are, the finality of the Uncharted series. The saga has been quite the roller coaster in my opinion. The first one sucks, the second one was a master piece and the third one was in the middle. And now we finally finish Nathan Drake's latest adventure in his strongest game yet.

The saga has been quite the roller coaster in my opinion. The first one sucks, the second one was a master piece and the third one was in the middle. And now we finally finish Nathan Drake's latest adventure in his strongest game yet.

    STORY: Once again we interact with little Nate for a bit and we learn that he actually has a brother called Sam. Then we jump into a few years later and Nate, Sam and some other guy are in prison, but they escaped with a clue to...something, but in the middle of the chaos Sam gets shot and Nathan has to leave him. Then we jump to the future and Nate now is married with Elena and he has a normal life. But that doesn't last for long because, surprisingly enough his brother is still alive and he tells Nathan that they need to find the treasure of Henry Avery or he will die...for real this time...by the hand of a person named Alcázar.

    PRESENTATION: The graphics have received a MAJOR! downgrade from the first time we saw the game back in 2014. And it definitely has some popping, low res textures, god awful load times, no reflections and stilted animations from time to time, but the game still has some damn good graphics and it can look downright real with the lighting effects, the other 98% of the textures, the motion captured animations, the realistic models, the incredible detail in every place and this game definitely proves that having a varied color palette DOES NOT HINDER THE REALISM OF A GAME!, yes i'm talking to you Gears of War. The sound design is also phenomenal and the voice acting is top-notch.

    The game runs at 1080p 30fps and i gotta say that the frame-rate is a bit unstable and there's not many music. The soundtrack overall is very forgettable, but it does help to create the mood.

    But of course my thing with Naughty Dog is still present and i still found some glitches, but not to the game breaking level of Uncharted 3.

    GAMEPLAY: Since i already reviewed the previus 3 Uncharted games i don't think that i have to explain how the game works (if you want more detail then go see those reviews), instead let's see the new stuff:

    Now to shoot you use L2 and R2, instead of L1 and R1, and i gotta say, after playing the first 3 games this feels weird. And another thing is that you can switch the direction of your aiming by pressing X, but i feel like it was an unnecessary addition. And because L2 is for aiming, the grenades are mapped to R1 instead.

    And we're back to the AWESOME! Uncharted 2 3D parkour system, THANK YOU!. And now we are full Indiana Jones!. And what i mean by that is that now we have a wip! and we can use it to swing back and forth in walls or in an open space and fall over enemies to do an instant takedown. And to do all of that you just press L1.

    Combat has been ticked once again and instead of having just quick time events, we now don't see the buttons on screen, the AI is a lot more smarter and aggressive and your buddies can also help you in combat. Because of these combat is not as useful as in Uncharted 3, but i feel like it was a change for the better, since it balanced the way you attack enemies and it forces you to develop a stragetie.

    The stealth works just like before, but now the AI is a lot smarter. And now they have a meter that fills every time they see you. If it gets yellow they will investigate the place and if it's orange then the fire fight begins. To know better the position of the enemies, you can mark them, eliminating some of the pressure and giving more depth to an already polished mechanic.

    The puzzles this time around are a lot easier and fewer in quantity...and that kinda sucks.

    The weapons and ammunition glow, so you could know the exact location. And now you have press and HOLD the triangle button to get a weapon from the ground, this removes the frustration of picking up a weapon by accident.

    Now in certain areas you will slide and change direction at will...for some reason.

    There's some vehicles to drive and they control really well...most of the time.

    To add more challenge to the cover mechanic, the "cover places" can be destroyed by the enemy, same stuff happens in previus Uncharted games, but they used it alot more here.

    You can push things in any direction, instead of waiting for the AI to come and press a button to push something in a straight line.

    Now you can grab and inspect objects with the same exact system of The Order 1886 (**** that game tho), so it's not particularly innovative or interesting to do.
    We also have character dialog choices, but they are very fake since they don't impact the story in any way.

    Just like i said in my Star Fox Zero review. Please IGNORE that 7.8 that Uncharted 4 has in the user reviews. The people giving this game a 0 are just fanboys with no criterion. Uncharted 4 gets a 10/10 for me and i wish the best of luck to Naughty Dog for their next game.

    P.S: YOU GET TO PLAY THE ORIGINAL CRASH BANDICOOT!...**** YEAH!!!!    … Expand

    This game is truly fantastic in terms of storytelling and character development. Various new gameplay elements are added. Though it is not perfect overall and it might be a 9 for me, I am going to give a 10 here to balance those unreasonable "0 score" reviews out there. It is funny to see someone saying this game's graphics is average.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another great game in the franchise, I can only recommend playing it for yourself as my words cannot do it justice.

    That been said I will proceed...

    The Uncharted series have been solid in all aspects but they're primarily known for their story. Uncharted 4 doesn't stray from this connotation and fills the player with an array of emotions as it goes on from the typical uncharted humour, to seriousness and a real sense of emotion.
    This helps create individual personas for the characters and a real sense of empathy and by the end of the game when they look back over the previous games I couldn't help myself but feel ((((SPOILER)))) part of the family and journey that they had created.

    I'm glad they seem to have put the nail in the coffin, not in a negative way but so that we can remember the Uncharted games for the great series that it is.    … Expand

    Note: My 10/10 has nothing to do with MP mode. I never play Uncharted MP; nor do I consider the MP mode in the price paid for the game. That out of the way, here's what I think.

    In terms of work and quality, Uncharted 4 easily follows Uncharted 2 as far as the storyline goes, and how that storyline is presented (cutscenes; environments; voice acting; motion capture, etc).

    In terms of work and quality, Uncharted 4 easily follows Uncharted 2 as far as the storyline goes, and how that storyline is presented (cutscenes; environments; voice acting; motion capture, etc). To me, Uncharted 4 is a sad, sad gem of a game. I say gem, because it is one of the best games in the PS4/PS3 lifetimes; that's 10 years so far. I say sad, because, well, it is a game born at a time when many gamers want for games to become like a sport: compete, compete, compete. Others want games to replace their reality: VR. And others just want games to be portable, quirky, odd, cartoony fun. Uncharted does not fit into this schema. (SPOILER ALERT) If you are old enough and paid attention, the little easter egg from NaughtyDog found in the game's beginning and epilogue was put there, if anything (beside gauging gamer demand for a return), for gamers who have grown up with the studio to see how a simple platformer featuring a wacky orange tornado creature-man-thing gave rise to the original Uncharted and, eventually, Uncharted 4.

    For those who may be confused, simply pay attention to how the game mechanics work... the way that, despite how movie-like the game is and has always been, enemies always seem to work like an old classic video game, in that "shooting gallery" style, and not, for example, like how they work in other 3rd person shooters. Despite all its polishing and great storyline, at its core, Uncharted 4 is still an incredibly beautiful 3rd person platformer. I point this out because so many have called it a "climbing simulator." Of course it is! All 3d platformers are "climbing simulators."

    After all is said and done, however, I cannot blame Naughty Dog if some people came to Uncharted 4 from "Last of Us." The two games are more different than they are similar and, no, it's not just the "zombie" thing; Uncharted has had "zombies" in the past. It's definitely the climbing. It's definitely the humor. It's definitely the climbing and the humor. For all intents and purposes, the Uncharted Series never took itself too seriously - except that part in Uncharted 2 where the whole village is decimated and everyone dies - and I'm glad Uncharted 4 provided a decently long, fun game with an engaging, simple storyline. For those who like more in-depth storylines, however, please do pay attention as you play to some of the more "thematic symbolism" in the story. Yes, if you are willing, Uncharted 4 provides a few underlying metaphors which eventually lead to the question Nathan, and anyone with great ambition, must ask themselves: What exactly is it all for in the end?

    Perhaps too existential...? Thankfully, the question is only placed before you for a quick moment; this IS a video game after all.

    To sum up - in a time when companies are dismembering video games for the sake of money and every best-selling game seems to be owned by EA or Activision/Blizzard, it was quite refreshing to "come out of the water" one final time - so to speak - with "Nate the Great."    … Expand

    "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" is easily the best in the series in every way. It looks better, obviously, but it also has more refined and varied gameplay and a much more mature and emotional plot, while keeping the fun and lightheartdness of the series. It's hard to explain withough spoiling it, but the game has really good writing, and you see it took some of the good stuff from The Last of Us.

    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]
