Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Reviews
Naughty Dog sure pulled out all the stops for this exciting conclusion to the Uncharted franchise.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End wraps up one of the most memorable action adventure franchises in gaming. The quality has fluctuated a bit, but this final chapter safely brings the series to a satisfying and technically impressive finish.
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 confidently closes the book on the series, and goes out on a high note, without feeling the need to go over-the-top with its conclusion. The things that it does well are much bigger, and much more important than the few niggling things that it – along with its three predecessors – gets wrong. Naughty Dog has increased its powers of misdirection exponentially, advancing the series in its skillful and peerless storytelling, whilst leaving the gameplay more or less unchanged. Thankfully they have not left it untouched, and this is clearly the best – and last – of what is now an unrivaled quartet of games.
We often encourage developers to push the boundaries when it comes to gameplay. It's different with Uncharted. This is still good stuff. And sometimes we don't have to seek revolution or innovation.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is different from the others. It eschews the supernatural elements of the previous games in favor of a slower-paced, deeply personal story that's marred by some pacing issues. However, as usual, this entry pushes Sony's console to the max. Whether or not A Thief's End usurps Among Thieves' position as the best in the series is unclear; however, this is Drake's best tale.
An explosive, if somewhat stretched, send off for gaming's most charismatic rogue.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is undoubtedly the strongest exclusive of the Sony console .

Uncharted 4 is a fantastic game, and is an absolute must play, especially if you’ve played previous games in the franchise. The pacing does go through a slow point heading into the third act but the overall story, the character performances and one of the most fulfilling closing chapters iv’e experienced in a game made this an experience I want to play through again multiple times.
With its most compelling story, great soundtrack, improved AI and gameplay, and its glorious graphics, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a game that gives you a fascinating ending story of Nathan Drake's final adventure and an immersive cinematic experience unlike any other adventure game out there. If you own a PS4, don't miss out what Uncharted 4 has to offer!
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a fitting way to end a decade long story beloved by fans across the world.
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End liefert trotz ein paar Mankos, einen großartigen Abschluss einer der besten Spiele-Serien der Playstation Geschichte. Einige der Gameplay Neuerungen gehen leider nicht ganz so auf, wie es sich Naughty Dog vielleicht gewünscht hätte und auch die ersten Stunden des Spiels bieten sehr wenig Spieler-Interaktion. Ansonsten überzeugt Uncharted 4 mit der bisher wohl besten Geschichte der Serie, neuen Maßstäben in Sachen Grafik und Animationen und unterwartet viel Nostalgie und Action.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End really does feel like the culmination of Naughty Dog's experiences, from Crash to Uncharted to certain influences from The Last of Us.
Is excellent and has new ideas implemented into the series.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is an action blockbuster. Like comic books or Transformers. You can enjoy it great and it will take you down the action if you don't expect something else. But at the same time, it reminds me of the Last Crusade. Like the legendary Indy, Nate is here at its peak.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the swan song this series deserved. From stunning visuals, to awe inspiring set pieces, to grounded moments of weakness.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a strong ending to the series. It deviates slightly from the franchise's established themes and ideas in favor of something more down to Earth, but it works. Players will experience the same action, the same characters, and the same amazing set pieces. The gameplay is getting a little long in the tooth but manages to hold on for this final outing for Nathan Drake and his friends. It's not the strongest in the series — a title that still belongs to the excellent Uncharted 2 — but it's a strong runner-up. Fans of the franchise should enjoy this seemingly last romp, but newcomers may first want to play The Uncharted Collection for the full story.
For me, the final product beats the impressive previews. It's not a revolution, but it is Naughty Dog at the top of their game.
Driven by an immense storyline, action-packed parkour scenes and gunplay, and beautiful worlds, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the best experiences you can find on PlayStation 4 – a true masterpiece.
Naughty Dog has done it again, creating a cinematic marvel that sets the bar for the action genre.
