Review: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

It arrived! “Uncharted 4: A Thief's End” is the new game of naughty dog. The title, the first unprecedented game of the saga for the Playstation 4, marks the return of Nathan Drake in an adventure full of twists, charming graphics and a multiplayer mode that will excite and surprise any gamer. Check out!

The plot of “Uncharted 4” is very similar to the other chapters of the series. Now, Nathan Drake sets out on a new adventure to help his brother, sam, to recover a treasure so that he can pay off a debt. However, even with the help of his friend, Sullivan, it will be necessary to act surreptitiously so that his wife, Elena, does not discover him, since Nathan himself had promised to retire from his career as an explorer.

In the midst of all this, there is a constant search for treasure, with twists, surprises, emotional moments and a good dose of humor, of course. That sounds great to fans, as there are also references to previous adventures, as well as the return of iconic characters such as: Sullivan and Elena. However, for those less patient and who don't care to follow the story, the long dialogues of Uncharted 4 can be quite uncomfortable.

Furthermore, the big Sam's debut in the franchise also deserves high praise. The inclusion of the protagonist's brother fits like a glove to give reason for a completely new plot, in addition to presenting a character so similar to Nathan Drake and at the same time loaded with personalities. As well as villains and other characters, whose roles are important to the plot.

The gameplay of “Uncharted”, without a doubt, has always been one of the strengths of the franchise. The way Nathan Drake climbs, jumps, grabs and moves is efficient even for those who don't have that much skill with the controls, making the series a good choice for those who have just bought their first console, in this case, the Playstation 4.

The success formula remains practically intact in “Uncharted 4”, with a few noticeable evolutions. The main one is Nathan Drake's hook, which makes the character reach even higher platforms and advance greater distances. All this in the best styleIndiana Jones“.

Still, there is a greater focus on stealth. In many cases, it's more efficient to sneak in and take out your enemies one by one, rather than just shooting them all. For this, there are elements that help this approach, such as: the high lawn, higher platforms and small alleys.

In graphical aspects, “Uncharted 4” is by far one of the most beautiful of the current generation. The way in which the characters were reproduced is incredible, whether by physiognomy, facial expressions or even by synchronizing with the audio of dialogues in cutscenes and missions.

The whimsy also extends to the scenarios. It's hard not to play withoutprint” the screen repeatedly throughout the entire adventure. The places through which Nathan Drake travels are paradisiacal, either because of the context or the excellent quality that the naughty dog exposed in his work of art.

Surprisingly, “Uncharted 4” brings a multiplayer mode, who has everything to avenge and be one of the highest points in the game. What seemed simple and even unnecessary in other chapters becomes a good option to considerably extend the life of the game.

The modes are basically the same as in the other chapters, with the great advantage that the matches run at 60 frames per second. There are also additions of new abilities, such as totems that launch balls of energy at your enemies and the inclusion of allies controlled by artificial intelligence (AI). This creates even greater dynamics in the game and intensifies combat.
