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.)
