A Great Ending to A Masterpiece

Posted : 2 years, 1 month ago on 17 March 2022 05:24

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is easily one of the best video games I have ever played. I've played Uncharted 1 and 2, but never finished them, but I did finish Drake's Deception. I haven't played the multiplayer yet (but I did play it's beta) because I just started my second play-through of it on 'Crushing' difficulty (Very Hard). The ending was cute and unexpected. Naughty Dog obviously took in a lot of consideration making this masterpiece. If anyone hates it, it is probably due to the fact that they aren't PlayStation people and simply trying to attract attention. If I would choose any game to play this would be my #1 choice. I recommend this game because it is an Adventure, Puzzle, Shooter, Platformer, Comedy & Strategy. A Masterpiece! Simply a must have. 10/10.

"Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" (PS4)

Posted : 6 years ago on 3 May 2018 09:08

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Thrown back into the dangerous underworld he'd tried to leave behind, Nathan Drake must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

First of all, Naughty Dog games always have absolutely stellar graphics. The attention to detail is mind-blowing.

The main strength of the Uncharted series is still going strong: I never get tired of these characters. Even though, as always, by biggest investment was in Nate and Elena's romance, the heart of the story this time truly is the relationship between the two brothers. The villains are just as fascinating; their scenes together are excellent.

I just adore the dialogue writing in these games. I love how snappy, clearly meticulous and yet so very natural-sounding it is.

This one also introduces several new gameplay mechanics, most notably the grappling hook. But the big one for me was the inclusion of stealth sections, of which I always took advantage whenever possible because that's my preferred playing style.

As usual, however, the game's main shortcoming is the overabundance of gunfights, which were an eternal source of frustration for me. Several times, the game had me tearing at my hair, thinking, "I am so sick of people shooting at me!"

To sum up, this is a fine conclusion to a solid series. How does it compare to the others? I'd say all four games are pretty much equal, but my personal favourite is still Uncharted 3. (And no, I haven't played The Lost Legacy.)


My rating: 80%

It isn't the best game of Uncharted, but it's the one that tells the best story and an excelent game in spite of hype generated by it.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End review

HERE WE GO AGAIN. ONE LAST TIME.

Uncharted game franchise is very, very enjoyable series of games which are filled with intense action, interesting treasure hunts, history, memorable and colorful characters, emotional drama and great humor.
Naughty Dog is maybe my favorite gamestudio out there which focus more to detail on their games and character development alongside with Bioware, than any other studio. Their pervious game Last Of Us (2013), which became one of my favorite games of all time, was a perfect prove from that and so was Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
I played the first Uncharted game on 2007 after christmas when my sister's fiancé brought his PS3 system to my grandparents ranch, where we were spending our christmas holidays at the time. I finished it in couple of days and liked it very much. It reminded me a lot of Tomb Raider, which i prefer slightly more and the 2013 reboot is also one of my favorite games of all time. I've always liked arkeology themed movies, games and books so these games are perfect from that area.
It took almost eight years when i got a chance to play the rest Uncharted games Among Thieves (2009) and Drake's Deception (2011) after i bought Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection on my PS4 system. I was Xbox 360 owner at the time when the games came out, but i tried both of them couple of times somebody elses PS3 system never finishing them. I also had seen my sister's fiancé and friend played them when they came out and eventually watched playthroughs in YouTube.
This Uncharted become my second favorite Uncharted game in the series after second installment, Among Thieves. I really like pirate era in history and pirate captain Henry Avery's story was written well alongside of Nathan's final adventure. Like Last Of Us, this game was also very well "acted" by Nolan North, Troy Baker, Emily Rose, Richard McGonagle and the rest of the cast on their motion capture suits and of course voice acting was also flawless.
I really liked the drama between Nathan's brother, Sam but more with his wife Elena. And who can forget his trusted buddy Victor "Goddamn" Sullivan a.k.a Sully who was funny and epic in this one too. There was a few scenes which were very emotional to watch, which hence the great acting/voice acting.
And those bad guys. Uncharted is one of the few games which can provide a decent, plausible and even intimidating villains. Some of them were charismatic gentlemen with a cunning attitude and almost have equal amount of knowledge with Drake, or some of them  were just merciless killers. Zoran Lazarevic, who was rival trasure hunter in Among Thieves and my favorite bad guy in the games, was that last one. Now he was very scary and deadly enemy to have.
The game was so detailed and gorgeous looking. It was almost like watching a movie. It's awesome how much Naughty Dog use time on that, so the game would look as perfect as it can. Sound effects and editing was realistic and it bringed environment to life. Action was over the top, like in previous ones but that makes these games so enjoyable to play.
This was definitely the most serious part of the series and it can see in the stroytelling. Ending was good and heartwarming. I couldn't ask for more. On one point at the end i was gasping that it would end like almost every second game in past few years, but luckily it didn't. I won't spoil anything, but let just say that Nate got himself a good and earned ending.
