Uncharted (any of them)

If you’re looking for: Gunfights, platforming, Hollywood-esque action
Available on: PS4, PS5, PC (Only Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy)

Uncharted’s strengths lie in letting you shut your brain off, freeing you to just have fun mashing buttons through one of gaming’s best action romps. Throughout its many releases, but particularly starting with the second entry, Among Thieves, Uncharted is a must-play series if you want to be instantly transported into real-time movie action. Epic set pieces task you with scaling impossible heights, surviving daring shootouts, and accompanying charismatic characters who may seem brash and egotistical at first but will nonetheless win you over by the end.

While you can’t really go wrong with any of these games, the second and fourth perhaps represent the series at its best. The first game feels a little primordial, and the third is a little unfocused (though packed with some great action sequences). Don’t forget to check out the spinoff, Lost Legacy, either. It’s a little on the short side, but that might work out if you’re not looking for a capital C “Campaign.”
