Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

The only reason to get a PS4

I am going to properly write a review on this game. 

Game no: 162
Genre: Action Adventure
Platform: PS4

What is it about?
Nathan Drake has settled down and is now living the domestic live. Suddenly his  brother came back in the picture and they have to find the one treasure that started it all... The gold of Henry Avery 

Gameplay consist of:
Basic uncharted mechanics.
- Shooting 
- Cover hiding 
- Stealth
- Exploring
- Driving 
- Swimming 
- And a lot of jumping 

What's good:
- As you can see from above. The game looks beautiful. It is one of the most prettiest game on the PS4. It runs smoothly in 1080p at 30 frames persecond. Everything Drake touches be it mud, water or sand transfer onto 


Drake's clothes. 
- The locations that is in this game is the biggest ever. We start of in a prison and the. After that to Italy. We move to Scotland. From there on to Madagascar and then move to the middle of the ocean and end in a pirate island. Simply amazing and which brings me to the third point
- Pratically no load time in the whole story mission. Action and story is seamlessly integrated which makes you wonder which is the cutscene and which is the game. 
- The action is straight on awesome. There are 3 parts of it. First is the usual climbing part. Which is aided by a new item. The grappling hook to reach the far off ledges. 
Another new feature is the terrain that make you slide down. It requires precision timing to jump on to the next ledges. 

The next part is the combat. Which is done by 3 ways... Straight out shooting which is good if you like that sort of thing. The more better approach that is stealth. Where Drake will automatically crouch down under foliage. And lastly hand to hand combat. 

The last part of the action is the driving. UC4 has a couple of driving moments, weather it is boat or truck. The action is face paced and never disappoints. Except for the boat. There is a lot of exploration to do there.

- Lastly... The Story. This game makes you feel what the characters are feeling. Elena is beautiful in my opinion. The small subtle emotional movement that both she and Drake convey are fun to watch. Drake struggle to save his brother is also a gripping story. Plus the bad guy Rafè. That guy makes you want to shoot him yourself. The good thing is that this uncharted doesn't end with anything supernatural (not sure if uncharted 3 ending)
- a lot of extra features like pixel art and negative image to make you want to play again 


What's bad: 
- Nothing this is a masterpiece

What's just ok:
- The multiplayer is good but it just doesn't grip me enough. Is fun to play but I feel that I want to go back to the single player adventure 
- The game ends to fast... Well not really. It's around 15 hours in Moderate difficulty. But I wanted more... So that's just on my part

Status: Finish the game in 14 hours and 56 minutes. 

Score: A rare masterpiece. Worth to be played multiple times.
