Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

I never in a million years thought i would say that a linear style game would become my favorite game of all time. Dethroning Souls games, Zelda, And every open world RPG i played. I can honestly say Uncharted 4 is literally the greatest game i have ever played.. Im currently writing this review very sleep deprived. I have been playing it for over 14 hours straight.I was expecting an experience simillar to past Uncharted titles. While it is still technically the same style of game. Uncharted 4 is literally uncomprehendable in how good the action moments are, story telling, cinematics, and obviously how graphically superior it is.I typically do not get excited for action games with a linear path. But Uncharted does something i literally have never seen before. Every time you start an enemy encounter followed by jaw dropping cinematics. You suddenly forget you are playing an action game and become 100% immersed in this adventure. My most memorable experience is playing through the section you saw in the E3 trailer. Yes.. Even though i already saw that section in the game prior to playing. I could not believe what was happening. The fire fight was extremely tense, followed by an amazing vehicle chase/getaway.. All while the most insane cinematics/animations were unfolding before my eyes. It was a perfect balance of a thrilling gameplay that got my heart rate up. While at the same time looking at astonishment as things like cars blew up and went tumbling. It all seemed so real. Things like driving into food stands became the highlight of the game. Due to the fact that the way hundreds of items went flying into the air in a way that seemed so lifelike i could not believe what i was seeing.I can not understand how a game like this is achieved on a ps4... I have not seen a high end PC game do what this game does in terms of gameplay, animations, cinematics, and obviously graphics..The best way to summarize what its like to play Uncharted 4 is perfect gameplay that just feels crisp and very intense, followed by sweet eye candy as you watch the cinematics in astonishment..If you only play COD, and Madden.. This is the one REAL game you want to play.

Uncharted for pushes graphics to the limit. All I can say is, it's another amazing game from Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog has officially made themselves one of the top 3 best game developers out there, with their previous release, “The Last of Us”, and they continue to prove how special they are with “Uncharted 4 A Thief's End.” Uncharted 4 is the final game in the Uncharted series and it is the perfect way to end the series. Just be warned, that the game does start of very slow from chapter 3-9, but all the chapters 10-22 completely make up for it. The reason for the slow start is because Naughty Dog felt the need to show what main character Nathan Drake’s life is like after being a retired thief/treasure hunter for 3 years. I don’t mind them showing what his life is like, but it just felt overlong. While chapter 5 was pretty good, 6-9 feel pretty boring, due to the dull environment around you. But once you get to Madagascar in chapter 10, that's when the real adventure starts. There is a lot of driving around in chapter 10, but Naughty Dog made the perfect driving mechanics and due to how amazing Madagascar looks, and how amazing the graphics are, it's like an interactive movie. You don’t mind driving around for so long because seeing the the graphics, the environment and not only that but driving in the mud, just makes it a great experience. Everything boring about the previous chapter and the slow start will be forgotten because of how amazing the game is from chapter 10-22. And every time you end up shooting a wall and driving through some things, it always ends up falling down. Everything is destructible which adds to the fun. As with all previous games from Naughty Dog, voice acting is amazing, character animations are perfect, and honestly if it wasn’t for the slow start, the game could’ve been perfect. There is also multiplayer in the game. Multiplayer is really fun, but it can get boring after awhile, due to the fact that there aren’t many battle stages in the game. The fun comes from the variety of ways you can approach it such as climbing, swimming and using the rope to swing across places, and also purchasables like mystical items, you can call juggernauts to help you out, you can call snipers for help and all that makes it more fun. But the game really is lacking battle stages. There will be more stages in the future as well as co-op, but for now, it doesn’t have that. It’s obvious that the game’s strength is the single player, and it shows, because it has a great story, great character, amazing graphics and art design, and it is the perfect send off for the franchise and another home run from developer Naughty Dog. My final rating for “Uncharted 4 A Thief's End” is a 9/10. If it wasn’t for the slow start, the game would easily be a 10/10, but there is no doubt that this is a must buy if you have a PS4.
