straight dogshit for the gameplay but the story is half decent. kinda crazy how this is the prototype to like a 3rd of the big budget releases comin out today, sorta like how raiders of the lost ark has a chokehold on like a 3rd of the blockbusters made even today. uncharted 1 ain't on that level in quality but ykw I mean.

The game didn't age well even this remastered looks dated and the machines aren't great either, but the story is a good one and that's what made me stick with it and play this game.

A decent game, with pretty fun exploration and enjoyable characters. The gun n' cover hasn't aged too well though, which is kinda the main part of the game. I prefer the other games but this one still shouldn't be glossed over.

A lot of games these days get remakes when the original still holds up today. I think Uncharted 2 and 3 are perfect examples of this, all they need is a port to modern systems and they'll just be as playable as they've ever been. Uncharted Drake's Fortune may actually need a remake, or at least some sort of overhaul because it feels very outdated. I think the most obvious example is that the combat arenas and climbing are, for the most part, kept separate from each other. Climbing works as a mechanic, but is very simple and there are big stretches of the game where the player is just climbing with not much else which is not very thrilling. Not only would adding climbing to the combat sections alleviate this problem, but it would also make the arenas more unique as it would add a new layer of verticality that is not always explored by other cover-based shooters. The gunplay is also not as refined as it will become in future Uncharted titles. Enemies are bullet sponges, which is further exacerbated by the harder difficulties, which I never found a problem when playing the other games on max difficulty. Sometimes a single enemy will just appear randomly in a non-combat arena as you turn a corner, and while it is not necessarily a fault, it does showcase how Naughty Dog where still finding their footing. The story is alright, but its real highlight is its cast of characters. Well mainly the protagonists Nate, Elena and Sully, because the antagonists Roman and Novaro are such boring characters. One exception to this is Eddie Raja who I love to hate and is exclusive to this game so that is one reason to come back to it I suppose. It is still a good game deep down, and I must of liked it enough to play the sequels (which is almost surprising it got any looking back), and I will be forever grateful it started this franchise.

I tried playing this remaster version for the second time, but the gameplay was already outdated
