Three Third Person Shooters, Online

Let's keep it simple this time and take a quick look at the online experience of 3 PS4 games I already previously reviewed!

The Last of Us

Unlike generic online shooters, The Last of Us mixed this up with survival management and scarcity, while teamwork is of course encouraged. The first two modes are self explanatory; Survivors is a deathmatch with no respawns, while Supply Raid adds a counter, or it is a permanent defeat if your entire team dies together at once.


The third and last mode is Interrogations, where you can gather intel from downed enemies in order to locate their lockbox which is the goal in order to acquire the objective of more intel, supplies and subsequently win.

Additionally, The online environment adds as a sub plot, as you gather supplies for survivors who are potential new recruitments, while you can choose between two factions and unlock rewards and bonuses.

The Last of Us online can be thrilling, but in a different way.

Metal Gear Solid 5

The formidable Fox engine works wonderfully and smoothly, even when playing online. After you have become accustomed to the controls through the single player mode, preferably you would be ready for multiplayer gaming.

Also known as Metal Gear Online version 3, Deathmatch is available, but what´s more insteresting are the various stealth related modes which emphasize on that method in order to win the matches. Rescuring or capturing objects as missions complete the variety.

There´s also another online system active in the background while you play the single player, and that is building up your Mother Base´s Forwards Operating Bases through the means and methods of resources, human or not, as well as defending your FOB´s from invasions.

All in all, the smoothness, the variety and the emphasis onto stealth gaming makes Metal Gear Solid 5, or Metal Gear Online v3, an exceptional experience.

Uncharted 4

Competitive multiplayer is the meat of the online environment here, and as you play familiar faces from the characters of the Uncharted series, you will have to defeat your opponents in normal fashion, or into special fashion called Mysticals.

These can enhance the advantage of the player grabbing the legendary items, such as damaging enemies or healing allies. There are summonable sidekicks available with various roles to play such as immobilizing enemies or hunting them down with the sniper rifle.

Treasures can also be found throughout the levels, which is a tradition of the Uncharted games, and they allow you to buy weapons and items. The experience is also improved further by the entertaining voice acting of the playable characters.

Uncharted 4´s multiplayer is in overall an enjoyable time!

All 3 video games offer distinctive multiplayer gaming despite being third person shooters, and I applaud the developers for that.
