Uncharted 4 - A Thief’s End
Uncharted 4 - A Thief’s End

Finished 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, Nadine and Rafe are welcome additions to the cast.

* Great story that neatly wraps the series up, although it wasn’t the ending I expected. The amount of great character moments was unexpected from a rollercoaster blockbuster type game.

* Used the Last of Us Buddy system to great effect although occassionally it felt like it was lifted from that game. There was one level with the brothers that felt a bit like the Last of Us DLC level.

* The more open world combat and driving sequences made the game feel slightly less linear. The new mechanics were a lot of fun. Stealth felt right and the rope made for some fun impressive takedowns.

* Monkey Island Easter Egg for the win. Also noticed how similar one of the later levels was in play style to the PS1 easter egg at the start of the game. Is Uncharted really just a HD Crash Bandicoot in the chase sequences

Cons

* Can sometime feel a bit easy with the climbing etc being a tad automatic.

* Scotland level .... not any part of Scotland that I know.

* No more Uncharted Cry

Not as good as UC2 or LofUs, but still an amazing game.

5/5
