Uncharted 4 Review

Uncharted 4 Review

    In May 10th, one of the greatest games on PS4 came out. As the last chapter of the well-known series Uncharted (By Naughty Dog), the journey of Nathan Drake finally comes to an end. After the last scene cuts to black, there is so many things that I want to talk about.

Story

    For starters, the story takes place three years after Uncharted 3 ends, while Nathan and Elena got married and they have decided to quit the life that they were living before. Until one day, Nathan's long lost brother shows up and brings up about a treasure hunt that they have started years ago.

    Once again Nathan embarked on another journey, to seek not only his, but also his brother's fortune. What will this time's treasure be? Will they find the treasure and go back to a normal life again? All these will be answered when the last scene of the game cuts to black.

Characters

    Once again, designers of Naughty Dog presented us such awesome and interesting characters. Every single one of these characters feels alive to us. It feels natural just to watch their movements, or listen to their dialogues.

    And the best part of the game, is that both the Drake family and many other main characters has a really funny personality of making jokes and sarcasm. Even some times in the game, players might find something interesting or just simply want to joke about it, the characters are always one step ahead and steals your lines.

Environment

   The developers of the Uncharted series never fail to create impressive and memorable environment throughout both the trilogy and this new game. Even more, players can interact with the environment more in A Thief's End. The developers really took what they learned from The Last of Us and put it into Uncharted. Which is a better way and increased the emotion of the game.

    From top Italian Ball rooms, to Panamanian Jails. From Snowy Scotland, to the desert of Madagascar. Here are some best environment set pieces.

Levels, Details, and Trophies

    Naughty Dog is known for awesome story-telling games. The level designs and the pace of the game always catch players' attention. It gives players a feeling of they want to keep playing. 

    Another great feature in Uncharted 4 is that they added a lot more checkpoints throughout the entire game. Which made the levels slightly easier for some players. Also, the trophy designs in this game is better, in a super fun way. There are even a trophy for bringing back the awkward demonstration failure at last year's E3 show.

    One last thing that impresses the players the most is that the game's cutscenes. The switch between gameplay and cutscenes are perfectly swift. Sometimes even players can barely tell the difference between actual gameplay and generated cutscenes. Which makes the game feels like an actual movie, and lets players to blend in with the situation and emotion that characters are experiencing.

Verdict

    Uncharted 4 presents a beautiful, interesting, and emotional closure to the journey of Nathan Drake and people around him. This game definitely deserves a 10/10.
