A brilliant story with fantastic graphics and acting.
Unfortunately, the gameplay comes last. Uncharted 2 was incredible, but I feel like there was an aspect of novelty to it. Now that we've been around the block (or world) a few times with Drake, each shooting or climbing section feels overly familiar, almost like you've already played that exact part before.
Also, this game initially feels like you're wearing someone else's way-too-strong glasses. Everything looks incredible when you're not moving at all. Then you turn your head and the whole world becomes a blurry mess. Do yourself a favor and IMMEDIATELY turn the Motion Blur all the way off. I have no idea why anyone thought that was a good thing to implement.
This is difficult for me to recommend. On the one hand, this is the finale to a beloved series. For the story's sake, you should play this after Uncharted 1-3. But (at least for me) doing so will emphasize just how stale the gameplay has become, and a grappling hook isn't enough of an addition to make up for all the miserable climbing. If you're looking to play a single Uncharted game just to try the series, play Uncharted 2. But if you've got a PS5, you may as well just get this one from the PS+ Collection.
