The ambitious end to a long running franchise, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a very fascinating game.
The gunplay is enjoyable, the puzzles are decent and the humor is pretty good, there are some hilarious character interactions.
The story though, isn't very deep but I liked the darker approach and the flashbacks, it's interesting enough to keep you playing, and it really makes you care for the characters.
Exploration works well, there are documents you can read or random collectibles to find, but they're not worth anything. I did enjoy the open area in Madagascar though, the fact that I could roam the desert with a car was surprisingly relaxing and fun.
Lastly, climbing is a very big part of the game, and even though the climbing mechanics are very smooth, I really wish there was less of it.
The action sequences are easily the best thing about this game, some jaw-dropping set-pieces keep you on the edge of your seat.
Uncharted 4 is the definition of a "Movie Videogame".
It's absolutely gorgeous, the cinematography is outstanding, the performances are phenomenal and the soundtrack fits well, but gameplay-wise it's just... exhausting, not because of the controls or the gunplay, but because of the hand-holding and the linearity. It really is an impressive experience and for its genre, it's probably one of the best games you can find, and a very easy recommendation.
Final Rating: "Fantastic" ~ 8.5/10.
