What is the game like to play

Well, for the most part, you'll be exploring exotic locations, traversing the levels to get to key points of interest, solving puzzles, then fighting a variety of bad guys. The platforming is excellent and very smooth you can freely climb jump and traverse your way through the levels in a seamless and pleasurable way. There are vehicles on some levels you can drive but you'll also do some underwater diving at one point.

The puzzles are genuinely tricky to solve but never too hard that you'll have to google it. The combat system is slick and streamlined melee fights they've got a real good ebb and flows them, in particular, the ones in the Panamanian jail. The gunplay is responsive and slick and the stealth is itself is also an option here as you can use a cover system and you can hide but for me, the set pieces are some of the best parts of the game they're absolutely exhilarating, exciting, and intense.

Aside from the gameplay, the story is pretty decent although it does feel a bit shoe-horned in at times and it's a very linear adventure but one that's told in a non-linear way in terms of the timeline and how things unravel from level to level. Graphically it's a delightful game to play the environments are gorgeous and they really make you want to explore. The character animations and the lip-syncing are fantastic and on the whole, it's just a wonderful visual experience.

The game also has a photo mode which has enough functionality to take some really nice shots however it's the same clunky naughty dog system they've been using for years and I think they really need to overhaul this mode to make it more user friendly because it's very cumbersome to use. The voice acting is excellent as with the other games in the series and overall the audio work, on the whole, is just of a very very high standard. The music is perfectly suited to the moments and all the tactile sound effects blend in effortlessly

What's Good and What's Bad

What's Good: The game has a fantastic presentation and visual style. The story is well-paced the variety in the levels keeps the adventure from getting stale the set pieces are amazing the multiplayer modes add a good amount of replay value and it's a worthy conclusion to one of the biggest franchises in recent years.
What's Bad: the volume of combat sections does seem overzealous the game is fairly linear and a bit more freedom would have been nice to add to the experience and it's nothing just drastically new compared to the other games in the series it's just more of the same really.

What is the Verdict

---

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a very well-rounded adventure that offers a little something for everyone. The platforming puzzle solving and general exploration is thoroughly enjoyable and the combat albeit a bit too frequent does the job and can provide some really satisfying moments. The action sequences are amazing and exhilarating and in terms of the aesthetics, it's a wonderful game. The story although well sequenced in in a non-linear fashion does feel a bit forced but saying that i enjoyed the game, on the whole, it's a lot of fun and very high-caliber production values from top to bottom.
