Phenomenal game. voice acting and character interaction are the best in gaming. Drake is interesting, flawed and as witty as always. The story was great and was set with solid pacing. I loved the pirate stuff and it allowed for some amazing environment. loved all the pirate notes left behind and the journal drawings. Traversal grew tiresome as usual. But some of the sliding/rope moments were actually fun and enjoyable. the shooting was fun and the new emphasis on stealth was a nice change of pace.
