Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

In some ways it feels like I’m playing Uncharted for the first time again, living that sense of incredulity and adventure as we join Nathan Drake and his charming half-tuck for one final adventure rooted in love and sacrifice. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but they’ve gone all in to make sure that A Thief’s End is the Uncharted finale that the fans deserve.

How we pass down the ones that inspire us. How an old photo of three friends sitting on a pile of gold can unleash a flood of memories. Uncharted 4 is a challenge to the medium. In its writing, in its design, in its understanding of what makes games unique, Uncharted 4 is something to aspire to. It's a shining example. And we'll be talking about it for years to come.

Naughty Dog has done it again, creating a cinematic marvel that sets the bar for the action genre. There are a couple of off moments throughout the story and the multiplayer, while a decent component, lacks the variety other games deliver, but the thirteen hour single player campaign will blow you away.

This was the last time I would pick up a controller and get to see what crazy, globe hopping, lost city finding adventure Nathan Drake would charismatically lead me on. The conclusion to the series is fitting, harkening back to Naughty Dog’s early days while also giving us a suitable send off to the Drake’s. Fitting, but still an end. Goodbye, Nathan Drake. Thanks for the memories.

There is nothing cheap about how Naughty Dog has decided to retire this franchise — no door is left open for a crass surprise sequel — and there's nothing ambiguous about its resolution. Every other Uncharted game has, to varying degrees, posed a question — "can a thief be good?" — and summarily moved on without wagering a guess. In finding an answer, Uncharted 4's story soars, and presents a moving, fulfilling finale.

Uncharted 4 isn’t a perfect game...it runs a couple of chapters too long, some of the puzzles feel uninspired, and its multiplayer component is serviceable but largely forgettable. Those nitpicks are in no way significant enough for me to consider A Thief’s End as anything but the best entry in the Uncharted franchise, though. It’s not even just the best Uncharted game. This is one of the most fully-realized action campaigns of all time, and it sets a new bar of quality for what’s possible in the genre.

Despite the early stops and starts, Uncharted 4 finds its feet and provides an eventually satisfying end to Nate’s fortunes.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End mungkin merupakan mahakarya Naughty Dog untuk console PS4 sejauh ini. Dengan tampilan visual yang memukau, gameplay shooter yang dinamis, hingga penyampaian cerita yang benar-benar menyenangkan untuk disimak, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End adalah sebuah game wajib untuk para pengguna PS4.

Uncharted 4 is indeed A Thief's End, the type of bookend story to which other franchises should aspire. It's an emotional ride through some pretty dangerous places, not the least of which is the mind of a man who realizes he's at a major crossroad in life. Will this be the last time we see Nathan Drake? I don't know for sure, but you know what? I sure hope it is. Godspeed Uncharted, and thanks for all the memories.

Nathan Drake’s first and last entry on the PlayStation 4 is one that impresses. Very few games come along with the production values it delivers. The solid campaign is the best the series has seen to date, and visually it is absolutely jaw-dropping. The improvements to combat and traversal go a long way to make it feel like a refined experience, yet it retains that familiar sense of joy as I travelled into each new area.

A Thief End’s is the best Uncharted yet, delivering a story I didn’t want to end, and an adventure that concludes with a hell of a payoff. The “wow” factor of the world exploding under Drake’s feet has diminished in the years following Uncharted 2, but those moments are still effective, and a true showpiece of the developer’s exquisite craftsmanship for world and gameplay design.

Finally, the decision to omit any opinion regarding the ominous ending was a conscious one. While it is factored into the score, proclaiming a positive or negative reaction to its conclusion would be too suggestive, so fans will have to form their own opinions pertaining to that very particular moment by experiencing it for themselves.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a remarkable achievement in blockbuster storytelling and graphical beauty. Though it’s let down by a lack of imagination and some self-indulgence, especially in a third act that drags on far too long, Uncharted 4 carries on the series’ proud tradition of peerless polish and style, with a great multiplayer component to boot.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the few PS4 exclusives that lives up to the "Greatness Awaits" slogan. There's a special element to games from Naughty Dog that deliver the type of single player experiences that can stand on their own, offering the perfect blend of story telling, visuals, and gameplay -- everything else I just consider a bonus.

By the time the campaign ended, I can’t imagine any fan of the series will be let down. Throughout the twenty-two chapters and a wonderful final level that you won’t want to miss, Nathan Drake’s story is finally complete. Whatever a future developer chooses—Naughty Dog has said this is their last Uncharted—they have mighty big shoes to fill. Muddy, worn out, hilarious shoes…

Uncharted 4 finishes off the story of Nathan Drake in style. It's one of the best-looking games on PlayStation 4, the environments are huge, and the action set pieces are great. The pacing falters in the middle due to new vehicle sections, but once Uncharted 4 gets going, it's a great ride.

If you can only play one game this year, it should be Uncharted 4. The pinnacle of the series, it offers that magical sense of discovering and jaw-dropping awe like no other game so far this generation.

Uncharted 4 is a grand adventure: over the top yet, simultaneously, graciously restrained. It is a reflection on a grandiose life with an overcast of impermanence and a dignified maturity. A Thief's End doesn't settle for telling the final story of Nathan Drake, it also tells the human story of Nathan Drake, serving as a fitting, elegant farewell.

What I can say, however, is it is the best representation of the Uncharted series we have seen to date, and you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t experience it firsthand.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is different from the others. It eschews the supernatural elements of the previous games in favor of a slower-paced, deeply personal story that’s marred by some pacing issues. However, as usual, this entry pushes Sony’s console to the max. Whether or not A Thief’s End usurps Among Thieves’ position as the best in the series is unclear; however, this is Drake’s best tale.

Ultimately, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me curse and it make me shout. It made me take a break just to catch my breath, more than once. What more can I ask of a game? This isn’t just a swan song for a beloved franchise, but a majestic and emotional symphony of love.

Stunning art direction; satisfying game feel; a willingness to shake up third-person action conventions, to know when to introduce variety, or let a foot up off the gas; excellent dialogue that reveals a lot without oversharing; and a heck of a conclusion. A thief couldn't ask for a better end.

So there goes Nathan Drake, off into the sunset, and with him a whole generation of memories and other lies. The first three games haven't aged well, and so it's a relief that Uncharted 4, base similarities aside, feels markedly different to them. It's a confident, assured, and rather more intelligent game than it first appears, and a strong end to the series.

Uncharted 4’s journey is gorgeous and thrilling. It’s full of surprises and callbacks that fans of the series will love. It manages to pay tribute to what came before while offering a satisfying conclusion to Drake’s story. If this series truly is done, Uncharted 4 ensures that it’s a tale we’ll never forget.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End continues this philosophy – it is undoubtedly, unmistakably, an Uncharted game, with all the trials and tribulations associated. It is also one welcome step better than its last iteration, just like every new Drake enterprise has been. If nothing else, Naughty Dog’s neverending push for quality is as inspiring as it ever was.

An interesting and superbly told story, with far more emphasis on character and mature themes. Redesigned gunplay makes the combat rewarding in ways it never was before, and large arenas encourage constant movement. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is visually stunning, and the best we've seen on console. Naughty Dog have produced a fine farewell to one of PlayStation's most beloved characters.

Uncharted 4 is more than masterful, bearing the hallmarks of a true system seller. What struck me most as an ardent fans of the series is how much it breaks away from the original blueprint yet manages to amaze on every level. Where many studios step safely from one sequel and into the next, Naughty Dog has taken a gigantic leap, proving yet again they’re the best in the business.

An incredible technical achievement but also one of the most cleverly crafted and most cinematic action games ever made. The best graphics ever in a console game. Incredible cinematic presentation and brilliantly orchestrated action sequences. Excellent voice-acting and surprisingly good multiplayer.

All in all it's a very well rounded package that offers hours and hours of entertainment. It's fair to say that "entertainment" is the key word here. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End hits the mark because of its ability to engage, to spin an absorbing tale, and to grab hold of the player and keep them immersed from start to finish.

A fitting end for one of PlayStation's most famous franchises, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End sits alongside The Last of Us at the apex of cinematic action experiences. Naughty Dog's ability to tell engaging tales is unmatched, with Nate's final chapter expertly balancing bombast against genuinely relatable themes.

This is a masterful piece of storytelling from Naughty Dog, packed full of wonderful and genuine character moments, great performances from the main cast and no small amount of little references for fans of both the series and developer. As a celebration of what Nathan Drake has given us over the last nine years we couldn’t really have asked for too much more.

It is undeniably gorgeous to look at, and the fun is definitely there on multiple occasions, but it is missing that Uncharted charm that made the series so great in the first place.

Uncharted 4 is the ultimate video game adventure, a visual masterpiece, and a heartfelt, triumphant conclusion for a PlayStation icon.

If I can sum up my experience and thoughts on the game at all, it’s with the above metaphor. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is an enjoyable romp, but it’s essentially an interactive movie with very little player-choice over what any of that interaction is. It’s almost like Naughty Dog are throwing in their credentials to just become the next Pixar. It’s an astonishingly gorgeous game, but it doesn’t really let you game enough for it to be anything other than a tightly-controlled story experience.

Having exhausted my repertoire of adjectives for describing this game I’ve decided to keep it simple: Uncharted 4 is the best game in the franchise and – dare I say it – the best game on PS4. Whether you’ve been part of the series since day one or never played any of them before, it matters not – this one is absolutely worth taking the time out to sit down and enjoy.

Naughty Dog ha vuelto a superarse con una entrega que combina acción y aventuras de forma equitativa, aderezando la joya con una estructura narrativa de lo más apropiada e interesante, capaz de engancharnos durante horas delante de la pantalla hasta saber qué ocurrirá, mientras de paso nos maravillamos con sus impresionantes paisajes gracias a su apartado técnico. Simplemente, el mejor juego de lo que llevamos de generación.

Naughty Dog ha cogido lo mejor de sus últimos juegos y le ha dado la vuelta con tiroteos versátiles en los que el sigilo, las plataformas y el vertical diseño de niveles juegan un papel tan importante como los disparos. Un aumento de escala de los escenarios que ofrece más variantes y exige más al jugador, quien a cambio se encuentra con una propuesta que funciona de maravilla en todo lo que ofrece.

Uncharted 4 es impresionante, el juego que tu PS4 necesita. Indudablemente uno de los mejores juegos de Naughty Dog y el mejor cierre para una de las series más influyentes entre la industria de los videojuegos contemporánea.

Uncharted 4 es una despedida a la altura de lo que un personaje tan icónico como Nathan Drake requería. Pocos peros se le pueden poner a una obra de sus dimensiones, cargada de contenidos en modo campaña y multijugador, y acreedora de una historia que nos mantiene pegados a la pantalla.

Apabullante en lo técnico. El ritmo. El gancho. Es largo y variado. Hay multijugador. Casi todo. El desenlace del ladrón no es sólo el mejor Uncharted, sino la constatación de que el reino de Naughty Dog no es de este mundo. Nathan Drake se ha ganado el paraíso con un juego de película.

Es, a fin de cuentas, la aventura hecha videojuego. Ahora que lo acabé me siento como si hubiera vivido una gran aventura: ése es un privilegio que pocos juegos pueden entregar.

No va a tener el impacto de Uncharted 2, ni para el género ni para el mundo de los videojuegos, y tampoco será considerado una obra maestra como The Last of Us, pero no imaginamos una manera mejor de cerrar una saga tan querida como esta, y de situar a Naughty Dog como un estudio que marca la diferencia, y que no dejan de superarse e intentar elevar el listón con cada nuevo trabajo.

Uncharted 4 ist nicht perfekt. Es macht nichts wirklich neu und verlässt sich auf die Stärken der Serie. Das bedeutet aber auch gleichzeitig, dass ihr eine extrem spannende Jagd nach einem verlorenen Schatz erlebt, die sogar mit einigen gelungenen Wendungen überrascht. Dabei sieht das Spiel einfach nur famos gut aus und legt die Messlatte für Playstation 4-Spiele sehr weit nach oben.

All das spielt sich präzise, intuitiv und flüssig. Schließlich zitiert Naughty Dog auf unheimlich charmante Art die eigene Vergangenheit sowie die Tradition der Serie, so dass sich mit diesem spektakulären Finale ein Kreis schließt. Sie wollen vielleicht deshalb mit Uncharted abschließen, weil diese Art der Indiana-Jones-Action zu wenig Raum für nachhaltigere Erzählungen bietet - aber sie dehnen das schon so weit es geht, ohne emotional zu überdrehen.

Sur un plan technique, Uncharted 4 est très clairement le jeu AAA qui mériterait une lettre de plus. Un titre mirifique qui vous laisse constamment sur le flanc, et qui met à l'amende tous les autres studios en faisant défiler les décors les plus généreux et les situations les plus époustouflantes jamais croisés dans un TPS de cette génération.

Très franchement, oui ! Le dernier volet des aventures de Nathan Drake propose une histoire humaine, dotée d'une narration brillante avec des personnages touchants, plus matures, évoluant dans un univers aussi mystérieux, que somptueux. Sans conteste le plus impressionnant jeu console à ce jour.

En vrai, Naughty Dog transcende la recette Uncharted qui mélange habilement escalade, exploration, gunfights et énigmes, auxquels viennent s’ajouter des séquences en Jeep aussi jouissives que mémorables. Plus posé et moins hystérique dans le rythme, Uncharted 4 prend le temps de nous raconter les dernières aventures de Nathan Drake avec une maîtrise parfaite de la narration.

Beau, parfaitement mis en scène et mené sur un rythme impeccable du premier au dernier plan, Uncharted 4 est à la fois un best-of de la saga et un épisode empreint de nouveauté, capable de se renouveler dans ses mécanismes et sa narration sans jamais frôler la sortie de route. Le résultat est donc impeccable et témoigne une nouvelle fois du savoir-faire de Naughty Dog.

Uncharted 4: O Fim de um Ladrão é uma vitória para a Naughty Dog, é surpreendente visualmente, o mais completo da série, mais variado e divertido, com uma execução exemplar e uma escrita que não abandona o lado descontraído do argumento, apesar do tom mais maduro das relações entre os personagens. Tal como The Last of Us no passado, está destinado a marcar uma geração.

Uncharted 4 è un titolo imperdibile per tutti coloro che possiedono PS4. Per quanto riguarda il single player il gioco brilla sotto tutti gli aspetti. La narrativa è quella a cui ci hanno abituato i Naughty Dog nel corso degli anni, con flashback ben orchestrati, personaggi carismatici e dialoghi coinvolgenti. Il gameplay, pur rimanendo molto semplice, riesce a tenere incollati i giocatori allo schermo durante l'arco di tutta la campagna, anche se si poteva fare di più riguardo l'intelligenza artificiale che risulta un po' ballerina in alcuni frangenti.

Lo sviluppatore californiano è riuscito a condensare e perfezionare tutti gli elementi che hanno reso la saga così apprezzata. Vale a dire la cura per il dettaglio, il lato artistico e la realizzazione tecnica semplicemente incredibili, un gameplay solido, vario e divertente, in grado di alternare momenti arrembanti con sezioni platform ariose a alcuni puzzle ingegnosi, innestati in una narrazione magistrale per regia, fotografia, approfondimento.

Ancora una volta ha nel ritmo quasi sempre perfettamente calibrato il proprio fulcro, ma è ancor di più la direzione artistica e tecnica a prendere il giocatore e a infilarlo in un viaggio da sogno, emozionante e adrenalinico. Con un sistema stealth che funziona bene, un gunplay migliorato e mappe di gioco meno “costrette”, La fine di un ladro è senza alcun dubbio il miglior episodio della serie e la testimonianza della passione, della cura, della serietà e della competenza di Naughty Dog.

И я как никогда рад, что Нейтан Дрейк получил заслуженный финал, финал, о котором Индиане Джонсу остается только мечтать. И пусть в целом Uncharted 4 впечатляет не так сильно, как ее последние 20 минут, это абсолютно точно игра, которую нельзя пропускать ни одному владельцу PS4. История Нейтана Дрейка, от первой до четвертой части, – это то, чем игровой индустрии нужно гордиться.

Да, порой бывает скучно, но эти периоды можно и нужно перетерпеть ради множества захватывающих дух сцен. Все классические достоинства Uncharted тут выведены на новый уровень, а множество свежих идей сделало приключения Натана Дрейка как никогда разнообразными. A Thief's End стала серьёзным шагом вперёд, и далеко не только за счёт графики.

Naughty Dog heeft met Uncharted 4: A Thief's End een hele succesvolle franchise afgesloten. En hoe! De game is op bijna alle punten perfect afgewerkt en zorgt echt voor de nodige kwijlmomenten. De game bevat genoeg nieuwe toevoegingen en liet ons minstens 15 uur genieten voor de Uncharted 4 review.

Het vertelt een uitstekend verhaal, toont prachtige beelden en combineert dit met op heerlijke wijze ontdekken van de wereld. Nieuwe addities als het touw en de voertuigen voelen volledig op hun plek, al is de combat - net als zijn voorgangers - niet perfect. Aan het eind van de rit weet Uncharted 4 als geen ander een gevoel van avontuur over te brengen in een game die geschikt is voor iedere speler.

Jeśli uwielbiasz Nathana Drake’a, jego sympatycznych kompanów i szukasz fascynującej przygody z wielkimi skarbami w tle, możesz kupić ten produkt praktycznie w ciemno, bo z nawiązką dostarczy Ci wszystkiego, czego oczekujesz. Takiego sequela się spodziewałem i taki dostałem. Jestem zachwycony.

Uncharted 4: Kres Złodzieja jest dla mnie najlepszą grą, w jaką można obecnie zagrać na PlayStation 4. Zawiera momenty, w których akcja toczy się po równi pochyłej niczym wysadzona w powietrze wieża, nie bojąc się jednocześnie zwolnić i przedstawić relacji bohaterów oraz uzewnętrznić ich uczuć. Jakby tego było mało, dostajemy bardzo solidny tryb multi, co nie zdarza się zbyt często.

Om du vill veta vad begreppet AAA står för behöver du inte leta längre. Uncharted 4 är det mest storslagna du kommer att spela i år, det snyggaste spelet någonsin – och en värdig avslutning i sagan om Nathan Drake. Nu väntar vi med spänning på The Last of Us 2 – eller ännu hellre något helt nytt från Naughty Dog.

Efter mästerverket The Last of Us kändes det i min värld ganska säkert redan för tre år sedan men efter det här råder det inga tvivel om att Naughty Dog (tillsammans med Rockstar North) är världens vassaste studio. Uncharted 4 är en mer än värdig avslutning på en oförglömlig spelserie och oavsett vad teamet som skapat det bestämmer sig för att ta sig an härnäst kan ni räkna med att jag är med till hundra procent från första minut. Tack Naughty Dog.
