This review contains spoilers
SPOILER WARNING:
Idk even where to begin.. the story is, Astonishing, Incredible, Breathtaking, Marvelous, Phenomenal, Extraordinary, Impressive, Spectacular, Outstanding, and Mind-blowing. The graphics are top notch and the action sequences are fire. The references to the previous games make it even more satisfying and rewarding to have finished all the previous games, as it enhances this game's experience. Some chapters are examples of the best story composition and direction you've ever seen (such as C4, C16, and C22). Most other chapters are just the best action you could ever ask for in an Uncharted game. The puzzles are also superb. We can clearly see Nathan maturing and realizing that the big treasure and his arrogance shouldn't risk the lives of himself and the others around him (we started to see this in Uncharted 3). But Sam won't take his mind off of discovering Avery's treasure because he hasn't fulfilled his treasure hunting itch from when they were kids.The final boss fight left my jaw DROPPED.. Rafe was basically an unseen antagonist for the entire series and we never knew. But the way he reveals his jealousy is so perfect. Also, Nathan having a BROTHER who "died" even before Uncharted Golden Abyss, adds so much story to Nathan that we never knew. This game.. is literally.. the definition of peak storytelling🤯
PS (Naughty Dog rant): I thought this game would have the same effect as TLoU2, where it’s a very sad ending (mostly because its called “A Thief’s End). But no! Uncharted 4 is somehow way better than any uncharted game before it. If i could change one thing, it would be the dramatic cover art, and replace it with something like the uncharted 3 art. The cover gives the same vibe as the TLoU2, but they are very, very different (story-wise).
