    it’s much more open than it’s predecessor with places you can actually find and explore which actually makes it feel like an adventure game instead of a call of duty

    The gameplay is 4/10, it is basically rock climbing, with some puzzles and getting lost a lot without knowing where to go. I don't know why this game can't have a decent system to warn the player where he should go, also isn't funny 5 hours of repetitive rock climbing. On top of that, there are some quick time events.

I don't know why this game can't have a decent system to warn the player where he should go, also isn't funny 5 hours of repetitive rock climbing. On top of that, there are some quick time events.

    The combat is 5.5/10. It is basically a generic third-person shooter with a bad stealth system and is kinda repetitive too. From the beginning to the almost ending it feels the same **** just killing a horde of mercenaries over and over with pretty much the same weapons, just in the end of the game there are new relevant weapons like an RPG, but that only happens in chapter 20-21

    Story 6/10 (Spoilers alert) - The story is about a seek for a pirate treasure (Avery treasury). Sam (Nathan's brother whom he thought had died) has returned saying that he was released from prison by Alcazar (a drug cartel leader) in exchange for him to find and give him half of Avery's treasure. Nathan lies to his wife and tries to help his brother.

    In the seeking, we meet the villain Rafe that a playboy with an inferiority complex because he inherited the fortune from his father and never conquered anything. He hates especially Drake because he envies his talent as a treasury seeker, so he wants badly to discover Avery's treasury. Needless to say, that villain isn't anything special her partner, Nadine is more interesting but she doesn't show much of her personality.

    IMO the beginning and the ending are ok but the middle is damn too long and bad, it is basically Nate and Sam seeking the treasury going from many places with lots of boring puzzles and rock climbing, and nothing really interesting happening it is the same **** "oh the treasury isn't here we need to go to another place". That happens in chapters 6-14.

    Also, I must say the story is too danm unrealistic, Nathan appears to be a Super-Hero because the scenes of action are too ridiculous, Nathan and his friends make things impossible like jumping from car to car in a chase with dozens of mercenaries shooting him with guns.

    In chapter 15 the story has the biggest twist. There isn't Alcazar, Sam lied to Nathan, actually Rafe released him from prison but he betrayed him. From that moment at least the story becomes way less repetitive. Nathan's wife saves him and helps them with Sully too.

    Alas, it is just the generic ending, they find the treasury, defeat the villain and they lived happily ever after. IMO, the story is just 6/10.

    Graphics is 8/10. It is the best part of the game, especially the character models, they are so real.

    Final word - I've played on PC and it was my first Uncharted game, I was so hyped to play this game that everyone said was a masterpiece. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I don't see anything special in this game.    … Expand

    The story has a ton of plot holes, for example, the characters just found out where they need to go through a scroll we spent the first few hours searching for and immediately the bad guy, who was also looking for the scroll, has telepathic abilities and also knows where to go. Who writes this?

    This isn't the only inconsistency but they keep piling up to the point it really detracts    The story has a ton of plot holes, for example, the characters just found out where they need to go through a scroll we spent the first few hours searching for and immediately the bad guy, who was also looking for the scroll, has telepathic abilities and also knows where to go.

    This isn't the only inconsistency but they keep piling up to the point it really detracts from the experience. The combat is extremely mediocre, the characters are not particularly deep but are cliches of the treasure hunter.

    As to the positives, the overall story is not bad, just the execution of it. The music is decent albeit nothing exceptional and the visuals are actually good. This game is more of a movie than a game so I'll judge as that and it's not great but not bad. A slightly above average game. I should finally note that this is a children's game, there's no blood and the dialogue is written usually for teenagers    … Expand

    Probably one of my favorite video game of all time. The story is incredible, the graphics are beautiful. Definitely one of the best video games I've ever played to. I don't understand why this game has only 7.9/10 from users, I guess XBOX One and PC fans are mad cause Uncharted is only available on good game console. Anyway, great job Naughtydog for this game.

    Peerless. The next generation of video games starts here. PS4's first flagship game. From the first chapter to the last, Uncharted 4 revels in its own brilliance. The humour is as alive as it's ever been, the graphics set a new bar, the mechanics are second to none. I've been playing video games for over 20 years and this is one of the best I've ever played.

Don't hate on a high quality game because you made the mistake of picking an XBOX1. Think about it....you can get Uncharted 4, plus Bloodborne, plus Last of Us Remastered. Its a no-brainer, put down Halo and whatever other not so good exclusive titles you have and make the right choice. Oh I forgot to give my review of Uncharted 4.........its absolutely amazing. A true masterpiece and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Sure makes me glad I made the right decision when picking a console.… Expand

I'm happy that this is the final chapter for Nathan Drake and his companions. I was cautiously hyped and was afraid that it wouldn't deliver but it absolutely did in my personal opinion. Uncharted 4 is definitely somewhere in my top 5 and I don't know where to place it.

    Cons: there were some really slow parts near the beginning but I started to appreciate the build up. I can appreciate what naughty dog was displaying in a story point of view.

    The repeated use of crates got kind of stale as well.

    Even though I had minor nitpicks, overall....what a game! An unfaltering 10/10. Game of the summer 2016 and a contender for game of the year. We shall find out when the time is here!!    … Expand

    This game just oozes class and quality and its just fun to play and experience... the only downside to this game is you will feel like other games are bit "meh" when you go back to playing them as this just stands out.. but the multiplayer in this is really fun so you never have to put it down after you have played through the single player (many times)... definitely a 10/10 kinda game.

ND and their team has set the standard when it comes to story driven based games that make you actually have an investment in the characters. I can't get enough of this franchise and I'm eagerly awaiting the "first ever" story DLC. Here's to hoping ND will continue to produce awe inspiring games in the future with breathtaking graphics, sound and gameplay.

    - The production design and technicality of the game is beyond phenomenal. Once the initial load screen is over, the game runs like nothing else. I had no frame drops/dips, the transition between cut scene and game play is so seamless. Chapters literally blend together.

    - Story and its progression were sublime, doesn't have that huge "explosive" moment like in Uncharted 2. Like the game just doesn't go into full climactic mode, it just naturally gets very intense in multiple, smaller moments which I enjoyed much more. Great goodbye to Drake's adventures.

    - Now the game play is very fluid and variable between stealth and going guns blazing. Shooting still feels odd (the crosshairs are a bit wider than previous games, and the bullet can sway in its little range, throwing me off a lot). There are still the same old finicky cover moments, but usually that is from you panicking and not planning what to do. Platforming is the best its ever been in the series (the rope is tons of fun). The game is also fairly easy compared to past games.

    It's going to be sad saying good bye to Drake and the Gang, but this was the most fitting send off the game could have got, the story wasn't polluted to make for an over the top climax. The visuals and ability for the game to run this well on a PS4 is mind blowing.

    Must play game, but play the other 3 first, or else you will not appreciate the characters at all.    … Expand

    Uncharted 4 is like uncharted 2, but improved in every single aspect. It improves in shooting, puzzles, climbing, storytelling, multiplayer, and also adds more game mechanics. Ignore the Xbox and PC fanboys this game deserves all the ten out of ten's it's getting.

    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]
