Uncharted 4 is a story about love, friendship, betrayal, and family. The main star of the game, Nathan Drake tries to leave his old life behind of treasure hunting, until he is thrust back into that life. A life that he wanted to leave behind. This time around we get to know Nathan's brother, Sam. I always thought and wanted an uncharted game on searching for pirate treasure. We get to see how Nathan and his brother Sam got into the life of treasure hunting and it's great escapades. Additionally, we get more information on Nathan's parents.
The campaign to this game was excellent and it clocked for me around sixteen hours to beat. For others, the average could be about fourteen or fifteen. My only complaint about the game was that it was very slow in the beginning, but after the first couple of hours it really picks up. My other complaint was that the game I thought had too much climbing and the cover system could have been made better. Although, no game is perfect. The game opens up with an action and intense scene of being chased on a boat in the ocean. It then goes to jump back and forth and does it very well. It goes from telling Sam and Drake's beginnings. The story overall is one of the best in the uncharted series. We get an interesting take on Captain Avery and on what happened to the rest of the crew. The game takes you to many different places around the globe. The graphics on this game are out of this world. Many times while I was playing the campaign I would have to stop and look around with the camera at the breathtaking landscapes and environments.
Naughty Dog has brought many fundamental changes to Uncharted 4. The climbing is more precise and easy to do, at times being fun. The guns are also better and more improved, the hit detection is good. Each gun has it's own defined sound and each one packs a punch.
Uncharted 4 continues to use the same great formula as other games that made it so successful. From adding dramatic moments and set pieces of towers collapsing, being chased by cars, getting shot at while jumping off a building, and passages collapsing. The game uses great suspense to entertain the gamer.
The multiplayer adds life to the whole game and makes the game a complete package. The Uncharted multiplayer has added many elements that appeal to the gamer. They have added many customization options for the character you select. Aside from this the game features many great maps that add variety.
It is sad to see that the Uncharted series is finished, but it did go out with a bang. To be honest though, Uncharted 3 still sits in my heart as my most favorite game of the series and of all time. My favorite game of all time still is The Last of Us. The Last of Us I thought was a near perfect game. I give Uncharted 4 in my opinion a 9.1 out of 10. No credit taken away from the game although, it is a great thrilling game that ends the series on a good note.
