Game consoles remain a special kind of entertainment that not everyone can afford. Agree, if you can still collect money on the console itself, then buying games for it is already quite a costly affair. Perhaps that is why many people prefer to choose personal computers, which even bypass the exclusives, still offer a large number of cool toys.
But let's be honest, some games on the console and, in fact, turned out to be of high quality. Take at least Red Dead Redemption 2, which in 2018 came out on the PS4 and Xbox One. Many PC owners are still waiting for the release of this project on their devices.
Uncharted 4 turned out to be a good game at one time. She collected good reviews, but all of them were left by Sony Playstation 4 owners. PC owners were not lucky enough to see this game. More about it later.
About the game
Uncharted 4 is an exclusive to the game console from Sony. It was announced in 2013, but only after almost 3 years the release took place. This is the fourth part of the adventure action, which turned out to be the final in the series. The player sets off again with Nathan Drake.
Naughty Dog Studios worked on the game, and Sony Interactive Entertainment worked on the publication. Despite the fact that the game was announced back in 2013, she had to go through a lot to get on the right path. During the development process, I had to change the authors, and thanks to this, I was able to improve the graphics and animation of the characters.
Specifications
The only system requirement for Uncharted 4 is that you have a Sony Playstation 4 console console. It does not support any other platforms. Of course, on the network you can try to find PC versions or processed files for weaker consoles, but if we talk about a stable working version, it is only for PS4. On PC Uncharted 4 does not exist.
The story of the last part
Despite the fact that the release date of Uncharted 4 took place only 3 years after the announcement, the fans of the series were looking forward to the final series of the game. Many wanted to know the continuation and logical conclusion of the story about the treasure hunter Nathan Drake.
In a new story, he embarks on a journey with his best friend and mentor Victor, wife Elena and older brother Samuel. The antagonist of the game was Ralph Adler.
The peculiarity of the new part is that the actions carry the player long before the start of the main story - for 15 years. Further events lead the hero to various finds, which ultimately should lead him to treasures. But in this operation, his older brother dies. Next, the game takes us to the present time. Nathan lives a quiet family life until his older brother, who turned out to be alive, returns to his life.
How many chapters are in Uncharted 4? The player expects 25 interesting parts, the latter will become the epilogue of history.
The beginning of the story
The story begins very sluggishly, so no action should be expected immediately. The first few chapters may even seem very boring. In general, the gameplay can take you just a couple of evenings, which, I must admit, can go into a sleepless night.
Here it’s worth talking about the corridor movement, which does not leave the player throughout the game, but still allows you to feel free in your desires and actions. Sometimes you even rejoice when you find the right path, despite the fact that there is no other in essence.
Since this is the fourth and final part, it was not worth waiting for any drastic changes in the mechanics. The player will plunge into the most ordinary third-person shooter, be able to take cover, roll over and even regenerate his health. But the enemies will be just an enormous amount. Here you recall the no less famous game Serious Sam.
Additions
Already familiar and familiar gameplay supplemented with stealth mode. Now you can quietly destroy enemies, and not run ahead. For stealth mode, obviously, they prepared tall grass and a mark on the rivals.
The game Uncharted 4 reviews regarding this mode are controversial. Many say that at first it’s really interesting to destroy enemies in this way, but in fact this is not the main feature, so it’s impossible to pass it completely in this way.
Game difficulty
A rather strange story is observed with increasing complexity. If at the beginning the game process throws up weak enemies to us, and then increases their power gradually, then at some moment a fighter grows in front of us of incredible strength, behind which there are a dozen strong soldiers.
Because of such difficulties, you constantly have to actively move around the map in search of shelter, which are immediately destroyed by enemy grenades. Fortunately, we have a satellite in the pair, which at least for some time distracts the attention of enemies.
Environment
In the Uncharted 4 review, you can talk for a long time about the plot or gameplay, but I want to pay a little attention to the features of the environment. Locations have become significantly larger, perhaps that is why the feeling of corridor of gameplay is lost.
The player can explore the huge plain in a jeep, moving it far and wide. Even in an open area, artifacts can be hidden, so it is important to always be ready to search and carefully examine the corners of a virtual map.
I especially want to highlight the photo mode, for which, obviously, we tried to create incredible landscapes. Thanks to him, you can customize and save screenshots from the game with stunning views of the prairies and mountains.
You can admire the scenery in the game at every step. There is snow under the feet of the protagonist, and suddenly the sea expanses that do not even arouse a drop of doubt in their unrealistic.
Reviews
The game Uncharted 4 really turned out to be good. Yes, some inveterate fans had questions for the plot, because in the middle of the development of the project its author changed, and this in any case affected the vector of events.
Nevertheless, the story itself was not so bad. Moreover, she talks about growing up, problems and new obstacles, and this fits well into the adventurous adventures of the protagonist.
The main emphasis in the new part was placed on the fact that it is the last. Moreover, it was made both by the developers themselves, and by reviewers and ordinary players. And it is worth saying that the final really did not disappoint and will remain in the memories for many years to come.
Perhaps that is why almost all fans of the game thought about how, at the beginning or middle, or maybe even at the end of the story, the main character will die. Of course, this thought scared everyone, because for ten years fans have lived and experienced with the protagonist.
And finally, the very finale came, because of which many reviewers threw another point in the piggy bank of the game. And even if at the time of passage there were discontent, the touching story of Drake came to an end.
Negative player reviews
Of course, when you first meet a game, the first thing you go to watch reviews, read reviews and ask friends and acquaintances about it. But do not forget about the reviews. Uncharted 4 turned out to be, indeed, a very bold and dignified game, and also touchingly completed the entire series. But it is unlikely that everything turned out so perfectly ...
Uncharted 4 has collected the most negative reviews because of its stupid puzzles with moving boxes. In this moment, everyone was indignant: from small to large. Everyone saw this story in Last of Us, and now it has returned, absolutely uninteresting and useless.
Of course, it would be foolish to be upset about such a trifle, but when you wait for a game for 3 years, and this kind of puzzle comes across in it, I want to overthrow everyone who was involved in their development.
By the way, there were some problems in the plot. It so happened that many still compare each part with the second, which turned out to be the best game for the entire existence of at least the PlayStation, so even the smallest flaws can have a negative impact on the perception of fans. But in fairness it’s worth saying that such flaws are very common in games, films and TV shows.
Positive feedback
The remaining reviews about Uncharted 4 were positive. Indeed, the game has something to praise. This is an amazing technical performance, for which I had to sacrifice three years. Also, you can not mention the storyline, which in this case just attracted the most attention, because for what then gamers generally launched the game.
No less interesting and impressive was the gameplay, with its improved skirmish and modified artificial intelligence. At some points on the screen, things began to happen that gamers forgot to breathe and were afraid to move, so as not to frighten what was happening.
As already mentioned, the environment also left a good impression, and the new photo mode allowed to boast of cool screenshots from the game. Players noted the possibility of choice, despite the linearity and a clear prescribed scenario.
And of course, most of the positive reviews concerned the final. It is worth enduring and experiencing in order to see what will happen the last 20 minutes of the passage.
