Uncharted 4 loses its pulp adventure roots, which results in a solid, if less memorable shooter. 0
Some games feel like an event. The advertising budget tacks on a few extra zeroes, publishers shell out for developers with an extensive pedigree, and everything just whips up into media firestorm, where on release everyone gushes about it, pats themselves on the back, takes a bit of a vacation, and then the cycle resumes for the next “event” game.Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End feels like an event. It's one of two games I can think of where I saw an advertisement before a ...

A fitting end 2
After Uncharted 3 seemingly concluded the series while giving its audience the impression Naughty Dog had about run out of ideas, I found myself among the many fans okay if Uncharted was laid to rest with the console it had helped define. Fortunately, Naughty Dog took the time and care to design a sequel that not only properly concludes the adventures of Nathan Drake, but manages to refresh the series to reflect the lessons of the past decade of gaming. It is very much an Uncharted game, but it&...

Where is the wow? 0
I liked it, but it didn't have the same awe inspiring moments that made 2 and 3 great.Probably the best story and setting of any of the uncharted games, I really liked the pyrate lore and the where they went with it, even if it was a bit unbelievable.The gun fighting was better in this game than it ever has been, I still don't like it, but it's mostly tolerable here.The rope swinging while stolen from Tombraider, really made the climbing "puzzles" a lot more interesting, a very good addition to ...

One of the best action games ever made 0
When it comes to the Uncharted series, I’m something of an outlier. While I did enjoy my time with Uncharted 2, I felt that the third game fully realized all of the good ideas from the second, while eliminating most of the major annoyances of its predecessor. I came into Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, hoping for Naughty Dog to deliver a game that builds upon Uncharted 3 while introducing some elements that made The Last of Us one of the most memorable games in recent years.Much like 200...

Surprisingly heartfelt summer blockbuster 0
A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape.Mark Twain Uncharted according to many reached it’s peak with the second entry, making a name for itself by way of bombastic action sequences, gorgeous level design and a likeable cast helmed by Nolan North as the smart aleck adventurer Nathan Drake. After Drake’s Deception rather lukewarm reception many wondered if the world needed another Uncharted game? The answer is well, not ...

Uncharted 4 - A Proper Cinematic Send-off 0
Although I had jumped into the Uncharted series late with the third installment, that's the game that I think of when defining that gaming generation - ironically at the end of the current generation. Nathan Drake's journey to follow in his supposed relative's footsteps built that sense of excitement and adventure that was reminiscent of my first memories of watching the Indiana Jones films. With stellar graphics, fluid gameplay and - to me - remarkable performances, Uncharted 3 has left its mar...

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Review 0
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a third person action adventure game and is the fourth entry into the Uncharted franchise. In this entry, Nathan Drake finds himself older, wiser, and with his brother who he thought was dead. Nathan and his brother Sam soon find themselves on the adventure they started fifteen years earlier in hopes of paying off a drug lord that got Sam out of prison. Over time, Sully and Elena join in their adventure to race against bad guys to get the treasure as usual.Going de...

A conflicting experience 1
Uncharted 4 has been one of the most difficult games for me to figure out whether or not I actually enjoyed it or merely tolerated it. While it can never be over-stated just how immensely gorgeous this game is as the series set pieces and the overall presentation of everything happening on screen is easily among the most visually and technically impressive we've ever seen from the industry, simply playing the game is just not fun. It's strange as the formula of the series hasn't changed really ...

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End review – a worthy send-off 0
From technically impressive but fairly unremarkable cover shooter, to one of the industry’s premiere franchises – it’s been some journey for the Uncharted series.The jump from 2007’s Drake’s Fortune to the 2009 sequel Among Thieves in particular was quite incredible. Among Thieves set new standards for action games, rewriting the rulebook and inspiring other developers to try and replicate its success. Not even Naughty Dog themselves could match it with the 2011 re...

Going out on a high 0
Uncharted 4 - A Thief’s EndFinished the game in just over 17 hours.Pros* Stunning to look at. Everything from the character models to the environments is beautiful. Must be one of the best looking games ever. The character models are uncannily lifelike.* Although not as many big set pieces as in previous games the pacing is spot on. I liked the many quiet and puzzle sections just as much as the climbing and combat bits.* Great cast with some superb voicework. The new characters of Sam, Nad...

The gameplay has very much been charted by now, but there's more heart and playfulness than ever. 0
Uncharted 4 is a spectacular way to end a series that's always been about spectacle. Tying up the loose narrative thread running through the games, the lessons that Naughty Dog appeared to learn with The Last of Us on the importance of character-driven narratives have taken hold, and the game has a more engaging story than the previous 3 combined. That's not to say it's perfect on that front, the flashbacks especially are a little irritating, but the plot is delivered very well in the smooth, we...

Nate and his team did it--one last time. 0
A Thief's End, the last of all the sequels to Drake's Fortune, follows series protagonist Nathan Drake (portrayed by Nolan North), who has retired from fortune hunting several years after the events of Drake's Deception. He reunites with his estranged older brother Sam and long time partner Sully to search for clues to the location of Captain Henry Avery's long-lost treasure to save his brother.The usual superb voice acting (special mentions to Nolan North and Emily Rose), all helped by some top...

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 0
Takes the Uncharted concept to a whole new level and tells a thrilling and touching tale.Verticality and in-and-out-of-stealth functions refresh the combat and make it the best yet.The Madagascar chase scene is one of the highpoints of the franchise. I also love the clocktower.The seeking AI is garbage and easy to exploit. Pop up and be seen, then just pop back down and it's like you were never there. Makes stealth gameplay very cartoonish.The final boss fight vs Rafe is awful. It has nothing to...

Uncharted 4 0
Beforehand I would like to mention that if you have no experience with the Uncharted series, before playing this game go out and buy The Nathan Drake Collection which bundles remastered versions of the first three games and is, in my opinion, the definitive way to play those games with updated graphics, a higher frame rate, and a fixed cover system. This will give you a much deeper connection with the characters going into Uncharted 4 and will greatly enhance your experience.Uncharted 4 is the ...

Uncharted 4 Review 0
Naughty Dog is, unquestionably, one of the world's most respected developers. This is for good reason, seeing as they have been around since the 80s, and have created some of the industry's most memorable games across the course of their legacy (with the occasional blemish). Among the most celebrated of their series' has been Uncharted - the series which finds players controlling adventurer Nathan Drake across a series of over-the-top set piece action scenes, running-towards-the-camera spectacl...

Fourth time's the charm for Naughty Dog 0
As the de facto main PlayStation exclusive franchise for the past decade more or less, I'd always felt the Uncharted games to be fairly overrated, even going so far as to say I didn't like them at all. The idea of them was always appealing, a pulpy, globe-trotting action romp, a modern day Indiana Jones, but I never had them land for me in the execution. Whether it be the shooting or the exploration and platforming, something had always put me off, no matter how much I dug the characters and nar...

Uncharted 4: Warm Blanket 0
Uncharted is always an exciting adventure. There’s nothing like playing through an Uncharted game for the first time. And there was no doubt in my mind that the fourth in the series would not disappoint. I chose not to watch any gameplay footage before my time with it so that the locations would take me completely by surprise. With Uncharted, it’s all about the locations. Sure the combat is improved a little with each installment and the characters receive their dashes of depth alon...

Climbing to the Top: Uncharted 4 Review 0
What game has a bunch of climbing to point where there is no reason for it anymore? Well if you guessed Spiderman on Atari 2600 that would be correct, but it's also the gorgeous, story driven Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. Let me go on record by saying I love the Uncharted series every since playing the first one. They are fun and dumb in all the right places with huge unrealistic set pieces that make it feel like you are actually in danger along with Nathan Drake. Uncharted 4 comes in and mixes up...

Treading familiar territory with fresh, best-in-class writing and character acting, Uncharted 4 demands to be witnessed 0
"I am a Man of Fortune, and I must seek my Fortune." -- Henry AveryApproaching Uncharted 4: A Thief's End with trepidation is reasonable, to say the least. The franchise seemed to wrap itself up nicely on the last generation of consoles, and one of the last things anyone seemed to find themselves saying after Uncharted 3 was, "I cannot wait to see more of this." There's plenty to find divisive about Naughty Dog's latest entry into the series -- from mechanics that almost immediately feel overly ...

Journey's End 0
Uncharted 4 is fantastic to say the least. It plays even better than the previous games, introduces some new mechanics, focuses more on stealth. Hell you can even slide across shale slopes. What I really love about these games is the stories and characters and Naughty Dog nails it harder than ever in the last installment. The pirate adventure is awesome and all the characters you've come to know and love interacting and sharing this final grand adventure is incredible. The way they wrap up is so...

One more adventure(No spoilers) 0
Story and CharactersWithout giving anything away this is the best Uncharted story by a long shot. I would compare it to the road trip style storytelling of the Last of Us meeting Uncharted storytelling. Sam Drake is a very interesting character and he is a fun companion on the treasure hunt. We see a more human side to Nathan Drake that we have not seen before. And the villain duo Rafe and Nadine are well acted by Warren Kole and Laura Bailey.Gameplay and GraphicsThis is an more open Uncharted ...
