An utterly essential bundle for newcomers and veterans alike, thanks to the sheer value for money and huge technical improvements to three already incredible games.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is not one or two, but three of the best PS3 games, remastered with precision, love, and care for the current generation.

While not as complete or all-around "perfect" as one might hope, this is still a must-have release for PS4 owners.

Every game in the franchise looks great, sounds even better, and will have you chuckling with the spot-on chemistry of the cast in each entry.

This revamped collection also boasts a handful of key features that include explorer mode which focuses more on story opposed to combat (great for newcomers), the speed run mode which basically times certain parts of the game like how fast you finished a section to the new brutal difficulty level which takes the game to a whole new challenge level.

A well-done remastered collection of three fantastic games. A must buy.

If you have never experienced an Uncharted game before, you owe it to yourself to pick up this collection as soon as possible, as you are missing out on an incredible journey. This is a fine example of how to re-release a great collection of games for a shiny new console. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection definitely belongs on every PS4 owner’s shelf.

If you have the originals on PS3, you might not need this. But if you are new to the series, this collection gives you some of the best games for Sony systems.

The final two games step forward and show their well-polished improvements with graphics that laugh in the face of many 2015 releases.

Simply put, it’s one of the best remasters in history. [12/2015, p.70]

Uncharted: TNDC is one for the ages. Yes, the gameplay and visual wow-factor have faded in a few spots, but the inimitable charm of Nate and co., plus some of the best story-telling in gaming, make this a must-have. [Christmas 2015, p71]

Nevertheless, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a bringing together of what is probably the best set of games of the last generation.

If you’ve played the games before then the Uncharted Collection serves as a great reminder of the story up to now in preparation for Uncharted 4, and for those of you who have not played any of the previous entries, or only played one or two, then this game is a must.

Fantastic restoration craft, that didn’t spoil the spirit of the originals at all. As you can say “do not fix what is not broken”. Just gently brush it up and wait for a deserved applause.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a fantastic purchase for fans of the franchise or newcomers to the PlayStation

The Nathan Drake Collection is an ambitious collection, that includes three of the best action adventure games from the last generation. What makes the collection better than the average remaster is the improvements, that the developer Blueprint have added. The graphics are almost as good as many of the games today, and the controls have gotten an improvement.

An essential purchase for Uncharted newbies and the graphical upgrade makes it hard to resist for series fans too. Naughty Dog's trilogy shames the competition with exceptionally detailed levels, blockbuster action scenes and a lovable cast that will be sorely missed when the series wraps up with Uncharted 4 next year.

A well-made collection that in one package includes the technically improved versions of three of the most important titles of PS3, reminding us why we eagerly anticipate the next adventure of Nathan Drake. It is however beyond us why the Golden Abyss had to be omitted.

The upgraded versions of the Uncharted-games are great, especially for Drake's Fortune. The changed shooting system and the upgraded visuals are making the game even better than before.

The HD remaster in particular does wonders for the series and makes Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection an easy recommendation for PS4 owners.

Fans who have already played the PS3 games will be pleased with the improvements, and newbies interested in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End will have the perfect place to start.

Uncharted trilogy still feels like great adventure games, and looks amazing in 1080p, but we miss multiplayer and the Drake´s Fortune level design seems outdated compared with the other two games. Regardless, gameplay and storytelling are perfectly balanced.

Anybody who’d like to replay the series or experience it for the first time before the looming release of Unharted 4 have no reason not to pick up The Nathan Drake Collection; it’s simply the best way to experience three great games.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is probably one of the best remastered collections I've ever played. If you own the Uncharted games, they look much better in 1080p at a smooth 60 fps. If you've never played them, now is the time to get in on the action. Great games, great collection.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is exactly what you’d expect. The first game doesn’t quite measure up and could turn off newcomers (always a concern), and the games really don’t have a lot of “new” in them. But really, the brilliance of this top-tier action/adventure series remains in full view throughout, and the remastering veterans at Bluepoint did a good job.

All three Uncharted games are must-plays, and Bluepoint Games has done an exceptional job porting the trilogy over on PlayStation 4 with The Nathan Drake Collection.

The Nathan Drake Collection is a strong remaster. The issues from the first game are almost all gone and the games look amazing. Especially Among Thieves and Drake's Deception are as fantastic as they used to be. This collection is a must-have for people that missed those originals, but it is good to replay them too.

The three Uncharted titles are still as fun as ever, but now they are more enjoyable at 1080p and 60fps. Bluepoint Games also added a few new game modes and graphical enhancements. All in all, this is a great package, but we find the lack of multiplayer somewhat disappointing.

Playing the iterations consecutively feels good and you can actually witness how Naughty Dog progressed as a story-teller. Every title absolutely holds up and can take its rightful place among current-gen releases.

We've seen many remasters, but when it comes to tech aspects, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is among the best. Even if it lacks multiplayer and Golden Abyss, it is an impeccable piece of work.

Overall it’s a very good package and the best way to prepare for Uncharted 4 if you missed something during the PS3 era.

Best description for Nathan Drake Collection: 3 in 1. Yes, that's it. Three classic (and you're really must play them) PS3 games come to new generation with 1080p/60fps.

If you never played Uncharted 2 and don’t have a PS3, this collection is a good buy on PS4. Otherwise, your mileage will vary.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a slice of action gaming joy well worth a look for fans of the series and an absolute must-own for newbies. If you’ve never dabbled in Uncharted, get it immediately. You are about to have so much fun with a controller in your hands that it should probably be illegal.

For long-term fans of the franchise, the title offers a simple way to experience the solid stories and the engaging gameplay once again using improved visuals, getting a deeper understanding of the links between the installments and how they might influence the coming A Thief's End. For those who have not played an Uncharted game before, The Nathan Drake Collection is the perfect way to see what the series has to offer and why so many gamers see it as one of the most important ones in the history of gaming.

Drake's Fortune starts to show its age, but other than that, this is a fine collection of one of the greatest franchises the PlayStation brand has ever produced. If you haven't played these yet, then what are you waiting for?

For all the game industry’s current obsession with open worlds and open-ended narratives, the Uncharted games stand as a shining example of the possibility for linear stories to be infinitely re-playable. They don’t need anything more.

Remasters can be great or not-so-great products. This one came up pretty well, with a solid tech upgrade, and becoming a very valuable collection. Needless to say, the trilogy remastered is a genre-defining one, and this, the best way to play it.

Bluepoint Games is indeed a talented team when it comes to remasters. If you missed the original games, or you are in the mood for some re-textured deja vus, this is a great choice.

A great compilation that manages to make Nathan Drake look better than ever, despite the fact that its first game was released long ago. Its only flaw is the elimination of the multiplayer modes on the 2nd and 3rd entries.

If you haven't played The Uncharted Trilogy on PS3, the glory of 1080p and 60 frames per second ensures the best way to enjoy these games on PS4.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is an exercise in reestablishing familiarity with one of Sony’s most recognizable faces. Almost everything new in the game is ancillary, but what makes this retrospective collection worth consideration is the the quality of design the original games brought to the table.

The Nathan Drake Collection presents a trilogy of single-player adventures at their technical best, but the value proposition will depend on series experience and a few matters of preference.

At the end of the day if you are looking to relive Nathan Drakes’ adventures, or you want to experience them for the first time, then Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is the way to do it.

Great game series in one edition, graphically enhanced and rejuvenated still offers the same great gameplay. If you missed any of the parts, or the whole series, don’t hesitate and buy the compilation at once. [Issue#258]

If you’re just in it for the solo games — and let’s face it, Uncharted is at its best when it’s just you and Mr. Drake clinging to things together — the Collection is a fine choice.

It has some minor technical problems, but the care that Bluepoint has put into The Nathan Drake Collection makes it clear that this is far more than a rudimentary cash-in. [Issue#263, p.60]

A well made remaster, especially when it comes to the first chapter, that's kinda ruined by the absence of the multiplayer and some bugs. It's still three great games for an honest price though. If for any reason you never played the series, this is a great way to experience some of the best games the tps genre has to offer.

This is a generous, technically excellent and genuinely fascinating omnibus.

If you never played Uncharted, with the Nathan Drake Collection you're in for a hell of a ride. But the lack of any juicy extra content is a shame.

A wonderfully remastered trip into Nathan Drake’s past rekindles some of the joy the franchise has brought to its thousands of fans, but also makes some of its more glaring shortcomings far more noticeable. Still, the best Uncharted Collection you could’ve hoped for is finally here.

This is the best kind of remaster: a lovingly crafted technical update that's also a master class on how a developer can evolve ideas.

It’s a slight disappointment that the compilation doesn’t sum up the story to date somewhere. Not a lot was needed, but a little bit — character bios here, a brief rundown of each game there — would have provided the perfect starting point for Uncharted 4.

An excellent remastering effort for anyone looking to discover or relive Nathan Drake’s unparalleled peril.

While the Uncharted series does have few bumps and bruises, and Drake’s wrinkles have deepened over time, fans of the Drake’s story, and action adventure games alike, couldn’t have asked for anything better.

An excellent remaster of three of the PlayStation 3’s best looking games, but none of them have aged quite as gracefully as you might expect.

Despite the market becoming saturated with remakes, re-masters, and re-releases, the Nathan Drake Collection is one that both fans of the series will enjoy for its slight improvements, and, those that missed it the first time around can enjoy as a series that stands up pretty well to father time.

This glorious compilation is the definitive way to experience the trilogy, whether you're a returning fan after a recap ahead of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End or a newcomer looking to pop your Uncharted cherry. Either way, you're in for a treat.

The Nathan Drake Collection is a firsthand account of Naughty Dog's growth as a storyteller, and this collection is the best way to relive that history, and witness its transformation up close.

Whether you play through these three games once, or several times, Uncharted is still required gaming. The Nathan Drake Collection puts three of last generation’s most important games in one place, all with enhancements that make it the best way to experience Nathan Drake’s story.

If you were already a fan of the series, this remastered bundle will be worth picking up. Those who are a bit more cynical, as I was, may very well find themselves surprised by the time they’ve slogged through all three of them. Pleasantly so.

If you’ve never played an Uncharted game, by all means, fire it up. Go hunt for El Dorado; go to Shangri-La; go find the Atlantis of the Sands. The core gameplay might tire you out a little, but you’ll be handsomely rewarded with lovely cinematic shots, quirky dialogue from a group of affable characters, and stories from adventures you’ll likely never forget.
