Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Reviews
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the few PS4 exclusives that lives up to the "Greatness Awaits" slogan. There's a special element to games from Naughty Dog that deliver the type of single player experiences that can stand on their own, offering the perfect blend of story telling, visuals, and gameplay -- everything else I just consider a bonus.
I've loved this series from the beginning, but a new high bar has been set in Uncharted 4. Naughty Dog have created a truly memorable game, and one of the very best of the current generation.
A confident, assured sequel, and a strong end to the series.
Uncharted 4's journey is gorgeous and thrilling. It's full of surprises and callbacks that fans of the series will love. It manages to pay tribute to what came before while offering a satisfying conclusion to Drake's story. If this series truly is done, Uncharted 4 ensures that it's a tale we'll never forget.
Uncharted's fourth numbered entry sends the series' charming rapscallion off with an exciting and emotional bang
As cornball as it can be, however, Uncharted 4 remains a damn classy romp with a sensitive side, and fans are undoubtedly going to adore it. If this is to be Naughty Dog's series swansong, they ended on a note to be proud of.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End completes the franchise on a high note that series fans will remember for a long time to come.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End brings closure with a lovingly crafted goodbye to its hero, one that leaves the series on a near universal high note.
Uncharted 4 sees Naughty Dog push the bar for excellence to a new height, with stunning visuals, next-level character work, and one of the best games of this generation.
Signed-up members of the Uncharted club will allow themselves a smirk as Drake quips "hey, this isn't my first lost city, y'know?", but Naughty Dog --now one of the most respected developers in the world-- are careful not to leave newcomers behind. All you need to enjoy the yarn is here: set up by a script written with warmth, humour and confidence; delivered by a skilled and willing cast.
Nathan Drake returns for one last treasure hunt, resulting in a beautiful and exciting gaming experience that transcends it flaws
A fitting end for one of PlayStation's most famous franchises, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End sits alongside The Last of Us at the apex of cinematic action experiences. Naughty Dog's ability to tell engaging tales is unmatched, with Nate's final chapter expertly balancing bombast against genuinely relatable themes. It won't redefine the genre quite like Uncharted 2, but the developer's boundless ambition means that this is a bigger, better, and more beautiful adventure than ever before.
Over the nearly 20 hours I spent with this game for review, I found myself enthralled with its approach to adventure, combat, emotion and narrative. Naughty Dog have once again shown that they're fantastic when it comes to telling a piece of Nate's story, and I'm pleased with what was created.
Uncharted 4 is the ultimate video game adventure, a visual masterpiece, and a heartfelt, triumphant conclusion for a PlayStation icon.
This is the best Uncharted game to date, and quite possibly one of the best games that will come out this generation.
Goodbye, Nathan Drake. Thanks for the memories.
With Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Naughty Dog have created their very best game and one of the best titles of this entire generation. If you own a PlayStation 4, you simply need to play it and if you don't, this is certainly a good reason to purchase the console.
Hate to see you go, love to watch you leave. I'm going to miss Nathan Drake, yet his send-off was legendary, making the entire journey up to this point that much more special.
This is an adventure that not only rounds off the story of Nathan Drake in the best possible way, but also sets a new standard for what lavish action adventures should look like.
