    This is hands down the best game I have ever played, nothing I can think of even comes close. ND truly outdid themselves with this masterpiece. I'm sad that the series is over, but I'm so happy I got to play this truly amazing adventure. 10/10 no doubt!

    Uncharted 4 is one of the best games of this generation. It is very rare nowadays to find a game that has a great story with interesting characters, but still focusing on letting the player feel part of what is happening on the screen. It is an amazing work of art: from its graphics to its sound, Uncharted 4 is definitely worth the $60 price and a most own.

It is an amazing work of art: from its graphics to its sound, Uncharted 4 is definitely worth the $60 price and a most own. Naughty Dog have done it again and have delivered another wonderful masterpiece, following the success of The Last of Us. One of the many things that I was impressed with was its consistency to remain interesting and the length of it's story mode. *At the time of writing this review I have completed 50% of the game and it has taken me around 8:30 hours on Hard Difficulty. The game has a total of 24 Chapters that can last from 20 minutes to 1:30 plus each. There is plenty of content to keep the player entertained until the end. Overall, Uncharted 4 is the best looking PS4 game so far, the story telling is very strong and Naughty Dog proves itself, once again, as one the best gaming studio worldwide.… 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.

    What a phenomenal game, it was a sheer pleasure being back in the company of Drake, Sully, Elena and co.

    Some new mechanics help keep the game fresh, like the grappling hook. And while we have seen other games do the same thing, this one does everything so well that it outshines them all.

    The only negative thing I can say isn't even about the game, it's about all the salty, bitter xbone and wiiu owners a game of this calibre has brought out of the woodwork to give it a 0 on this site, as they clearly can't handle a game like this being a ps4 exclusive.

    It's amazing how many times I checked other reviews of these aforementioned sad, little people to find that not only given this masterpiece a 0, but had given xbone or wiiu games arbitrary 10s.

    I guess i'll leave them to denigrate Uncharted 4 without even having played it, while the rest of us adults go about the business of actually enjoying every second we spend with Drake's swan song.

    Oh well, i'm off to start my second playthrough, happy gaming everyone.    … Expand

    Of course people will say "oh you're giving this a 10 because SONY or ND". No. This game deserves anywhere between an 8 and a 10 depending on how critical you want to be about the story Script, narrative, amount of work technically and artistically perfectly done.

    Script, narrative, amount of work technically and artistically perfectly done. There's no denying that.

    Graphics: Breathtaking. I had a headache just thinking of how much work was put on the scenarios. Not to mention the setpieces that destroy them in creative ways to marvel the user with a visual spectacle.

    Sound: My personal favorite is Uncharted 2 in terms of original soundtrack, but this one was really setting the mood of the game.

    I read some reviews saying the story is "generic". Generic as in... what exactly? I don't usually see a story about two great pirates rectruiting 12 of the most known pirates to build a Utopia of sorts, then have the user see how the story unfolded through Nathan theories.

    Just the historic take on so many events makes it unable to be perceived as generic. it does have some tropes, but that's impossible to avoid as of now.

    The amount of work to make something like Uncharted, and make it right, is something only naughty dog and a few other companies can do.

    "Oh yeah, we're gonna make this and that" - lots of people have good ideas. Let's put some S.XVII stuff in here... Okay, but is it all really gonna look like it belongs to s.XVII? this is what makes the studio great. They have their research, their make their pre-production work perfectly... and when it goes live it all looks coherent. That alone is an achievement.

    Houses from nowadays, old mansions, Italian mansions, s.XVII mansions and houses. Theorical takes on prime engineering in that age. While the past games took a lot more of the fantasy approach, this tale was completely set in reality.

    I don't think any game will touch this till the next generation of consoles.    … Expand

Don't give that lousy "journalist" and his employer the satisfaction and do not let them benefit from trashing this great game by luring angry people to click, read, comment etc. Support great developers, say no to garbage and biased opinions. Instead of clicking read this "review" here (w/o last paragraph):

    "The trouble with trilogies is that they almost never end at three. The same kind of thinking that assumes three parts will be necessary to tell a single story will inevitably need a fourth and fifth shot at getting things right. In that way, “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” feels as inevitable as it does unnecessary. Each new entry has strained to add something new to its post-Imperialist pulp fantasies of treasure hunting in far-away lands. It’s a game in which a character reaching for a door knob might trigger the whole building to collapse, leaving them left dangling by three fingers over a subterranean chasm.

    The first three games followed Nathan Drake in search of treasures lost to the modern world — El Dorado, Shangri-La, and Iram of the Pillars. They were weightless fables in which a hero did the work of nations — sneaking across borders, driving into areas still untouched by government census or GPS satellites, and hopefully walking away with a few crates of gold for his trouble.

    As a video game, this sense of adventuring was reduced to three essential pieces — long shootouts against mercenaries; interludes of cliff-climbing and ruins-clambering; and lavish movie sequences in which characters try to establish some emotional bond between an unlikely crew of helpers stuck working with Nathan. The games never made the case for why Nathan thought this was a better way to find a fortune than day trading, but the thrill of dangling from a newly disgorged tree root while being fired upon by RPGs was enough to make the series a success.

    “A Thief’s End” attempts to add something new to this formula by digging deeper into the psychology of its hero. The title and gloomy cover art suggest that someone’s going to have to die in order to gift players with enlightening insight into the business of treasure hunting. Will the man who defined himself through action be undone by the horrors of self-reflection?

    In an interview with Eurogamer, the game’s co-creative director Neil Druckmann promised to, more or less, burn the house down on his way out: “with the end of this story it will be really hard to do a sequel with Nathan Drake. Maybe there’ll be a prequel, maybe it will be a different character — I don’t know. But this is the end for Nathan Drake.” It sounds almost too good to be true.

    “A Thief’s End” begins with Nathan having already quit. He’s retired from treasure hunting and happily married to Elena, the photojournalist who tagged along on his first adventure. The couple is leading a comfortable middle class life in New Orleans when Nathan’s brother Sam randomly appears. Nathan thought Sam had died during a caper in Panama 15 years earlier, but instead he was just stuck in a local prison, from which he escaped by promising a local drug lord money from a mythical treasure he and Nathan had been tracking when they were separated all those years back — the forgotten booty of the 17th Century pirate Henry Avery.

    Nathan is guilted out of retirement and plunged back into the familiar whorl of guns and survivalist parkour to save his brother’s skin, a man who’s incrementally more reckless and selfish than Nathan. This is telegraphed by the vague cosmetic sleights of a dubious neck tattoo and receding hairline.

    The first few hours of the game jumps backward and forward through time, making it seem like there might be more behind each unanswered question than there is. The second half becomes a laborious trudge across a small but inexhaustible part of the Malagasy coast searching for the lost pirate colony of Libertalia. The brothers argue about their dead mother and Nathan begins to wonder whether his commitment to his last remaining blood relation is ruining his marriage. They process their feelings by shouting lines at each other like: “This has nothing to do with that!” And “This has everything to do with that!”

    The “Uncharted” games have never excelled at storytelling. Instead, they’ve used it an accompaniment to overwhelming visual technology. The games have always struck me as garish more than gorgeous, more interested in overwhelming the senses than communicating with them. “A Thief’s End” is overflowing with useless detail. It overwhelms the eye with so many different points of focus that one almost clings to the over-the-shoulder focal point at the center of the screen, where the gun reticle can at least hint at a potential ways of engaging with all of the simulated objects and effects that are otherwise impossible to identify, let alone differentiate.    … Expand

    Without a doubt the finest graphics so far this gen, by a fair distance as well. Gameplay is very much Uncharted, the gunplay feels tighter. Usual Naughty Dog excellent story telling and immersion. Can't really fault the game other than a couple of very minor annoyances.

    It's a credit to Naughty Dog how well this runs, considering how glorious it looks.

I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys an epic adventure with great story telling. You don't really have to play the other uncharted games but there are a lot of references to the other adventures and characters of the past games. Much like "the last the of us" this game will be remembered as another masterpiece created by naughty dog.

    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]
