"Unbelievable."
"Yeah, it was."

Still the best game in the Uncharted franchise and peak Uncharted in general. Everything about this game improves on the previous three and then some, elevating the standard even higher than it has been. Not only is the gameplay refined, but so is the story telling and atmosphere.

One of the most emotional games I've ever played, and it packs even more punch having replayed the entire series consecutively back to back. The final few cutscenes made me shed a few tears, something games outside of Red Dead 2, TLOU1/2 and Telltale Walking Dead haven't largely been able to do.

As for the gameplay, I only really have one gripe, and that's that it isn't hard enough. Replayed this one on hard too and it felt very easy in comparison to it's predecessors. However, this isn't a complaint, because the combat is a lot more fun aside from the melee combat (which Uncharted 3 still holds the title for).

This game leaves me wanting more, beyond Lost Legacy, but Nate's story is over. I hope either Sam or Cassie comes back for Uncharted 5 if it's ever going to happen, because I feel like Naughty Dog is at the very tip of the iceberg with it's story telling when it comes to the Uncharted series. Sure, the other games are pretty solid, and I enjoy the stories in those too; but they do not come close to this.
