I bought the Uncharted 3 pack on sale for cheap and quickly fell in love with this game only a year ago. Now you don’t need to buy the previous games, and the graphics aren’t great on the previous games, but the Uncharted series is one of my favorites. I then found this one also on sale along with the quick but enjoyable Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. All of these games are similar to Tomb Raider but oh so much better. The reason’s it’s better than Tomb Raider and an overall great game is the story telling is great, the play control is fun, puzzles are challenging without being maddening, unlike Tomb Raider no stupid perfect jumping combo to progress, and the story moves well along with the action. There are times you are just exploring trying to figure out a puzzle while other times you’re in a shoot out. The balance between shooting, solving puzzles, and general story telling is what makes this game so great. This is the best game of all the Uncharted games since it has the best graphics and story. A must buy for Sony PlayStation owners and well worth it. I passed it a year ago and already want to go back and play it again just for the story telling. Pros - graphics, great story, easy play control, and price. Cons - 15-20 hours of play time, and some puzzles are boring. This game and The Lost Legacy are being combined on the PS5. Both are fun, but make sure you do everything before progressing on The Lost Legacy otherwise it’s really short. If you’re looking for a fun action adventure game for ages 10+ this is a good one.

I was so excited to play this when I heard the news of this game. I caught a YouTube video of it about a year or two before it came out and was amazed at the graphics and storyline. Despite being a kid I loved the original Blade Runner film and even played Cyberpunk the role playing game. I was fascinated with this sci-fi future game. So fast forward a few months later and I’ve logged over +150 hours on the game. With my nomad I did every possible quest, side job, and thing you can do in about 100 hours, except buy all the cars. So to quote Scott Lang, “you know my Pap-pap always said if you wanna do something right, you make a list.” Pros - Graphics, storyline, play control, a lot to do, choices have consequences, and price. Cons - Still glitches (make sure you save often), can get redundant outside of main storyline when grinding side quests, not much different in which character you choose once you get through the first act, while choices change the story only so much, Johnny Silverhand is a d-bag, and not family friendly. Look if you don’t like the genre chances are you really won’t like the game or like most people you’ll put in the minimum hours to pass it and move on to the next game. Despite the many glitches I think those of us who like the story telling and genre really enjoyed the game. One of the best games I played but I really like the genre, storytelling, and graphics. I played it on my PS5 and it still is glitchy at times and shut down in the middle of the game about once every three hours. The game autosaves but I got in the habit of saving after each quest, each big sell of gear, or each upgrade. There’s a lot to do, and there’s hope they will improve this game because there is a lot of future potential. People have a right to be upset, the launch was rushed and a mess, but it’s definitely now worth a look. Especially now that the price has come down. It’s similar to Far Cry, Fallout, Mass Effect, and other story drive FPS.
