Uncharted 4: A Thief's End



Let’s go on an ancient treasure hunt, one more time.

Nathan Drake is dragged into his last big adventure because his brother Samuel Drake has a huge debt to pay towards getting out of prison. The third person gameplay returns polished with beautiful stunning graphics, gunplay and corners, climbing platforming and the marvelous dialogue between the characters.

Newcomers in the cast are fun with Sam sticking out the most, while Victor and Elena also return as fan favorites. This time, the adventure brings us in flashbacks to Panama, and in present time to Italy, Scotland and the wonderful Madagascar.

Uncharted 4 features robust multiplayer madness online, is filled with secret treasures and the dialogue remains humane, humoristic and touching. Climbing around remains a great balance towards the shootouts against another private army.

Filling up the challenge with several brutal difficulties, adding in a photo capture and of course the silly cheats are returning, Naughty Dog has once again delivered like the respectful developer they are for Sony's platforms.

A Thief’s End says it all in the subtitle and it’s a fitting end to the Uncharted franchise, although it can also be considered an open ending, especially seeming as singleplayer DLC is on the way. It’s easily another very strong entry, but Among Thieves remains king objectively.

Rating: 8.7
