Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End |
PS5, PS4

With a more dramatic narrative than previous entries, and a visual presentation that still impresses in 2024, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End sees protagonist Nathan Drake once again setting off to uncover history…with lots of guns and explosives.

In our review of Uncharted 4, we said:

Deeper and deeper into the game, the subtle design improvements steadily accumulate. These feel like the right advances for a series that always explored new gameplay on the back of improved technology and an attempt to recreate mundane real-world matters rarely seen in games. The earlier Uncharteds, for example, used better in-game physics and scene-staging tricks to present playable fights on top of unsteady trains or inside wave-tossed boats. That ethos is apparent throughout this game, with every death-defying swing of Drake’s rope, every well-staged set piece and every tweak to the climbing and combat.
