Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Reviews
This is an adventure that not only rounds off the story of Nathan Drake in the best possible way, but also sets a new standard for what lavish action adventures should look like.

Hate to see you go, love to watch you leave. I'm going to miss Nathan Drake, yet his send-off was legendary, making the entire journey up to this point that much more special.
With Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Naughty Dog have created their very best game and one of the best titles of this entire generation. If you own a PlayStation 4, you simply need to play it and if you don't, this is certainly a good reason to purchase the console.
Goodbye, Nathan Drake. Thanks for the memories.
This is the best Uncharted game to date, and quite possibly one of the best games that will come out this generation.
Uncharted 4 is the ultimate video game adventure, a visual masterpiece, and a heartfelt, triumphant conclusion for a PlayStation icon.
Over the nearly 20 hours I spent with this game for review, I found myself enthralled with its approach to adventure, combat, emotion and narrative. Naughty Dog have once again shown that they're fantastic when it comes to telling a piece of Nate's story, and I'm pleased with what was created.
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. It won't redefine the genre quite like Uncharted 2, but the developer's boundless ambition means that this is a bigger, better, and more beautiful adventure than ever before.
Dreamlike conclusion of the series: Nathan Drake's greatest and most beautiful adventure should not be missing in any game collection.

Uncharted 4 is awesome, the game your PS4 needs. Undoubtedly one of the best Naughty Dog games and the best closing for one of the most influential series among the contemporary video game industry.

Uncharted 4 is one of the best action game ever created. The story doesn't have the same emotional impact of The Last of Us, but it bravely focus on the characters and their relationships. On the other side the tension, the diversity, the pace and the aesthetic value of Nate's last adventure is something we never experienced before.

The best in the series, and another Naughty Dog classic.
A visual tour de force, Uncharted 4 rarely drops its cinematic facade and reminds you that it's a video game. The visuals and presentation elevate the fairly ho-hum gameplay.
Naughty Dog has delivered something rare in this industry of milked franchises: the gift of franchise closure for its fans.
Nathan Drake's quest in Uncharted 4 successfully bridges the uncanny valley between adventure game, action movie, and real-world exploration.
The idea of old life versus new life is a recurring theme throughout Uncharted 4 — Drake asks Sam at one point what they're even doing in this situation — cycling these themes through scenes past and present.
Most importantly, it adds closure. There's no cheap set-up for a sneaky sequel, no cliffhanger ending. Just the door fittingly closing on a series of great – if unfortunate - adventures. While I wouldn't go so far as to call Uncharted 4 the greatest game that's ever been made, it is indeed a remarkable one, and undoubtedly the best the Uncharted series has to offer.
To be able to read the emotions of computer-generated characters, rather than having them spell out their feelings through dialogue, is a rare achievement in games.
