Nathan and his brother have terrific chemistry, and scenes shared between him and his wife feel intimate and authentic. A combination of exceptional graphics - including immersive performance capture - a smart and compelling script, and some terrific performances from an all-star cast of video game voice actors help to emotionally engage players in a manner akin to a great movie. Multiplayer, meanwhile, provides a quartet of traditional competitive team-based modes spread over eight maps designed to encourage Nathan's climbing and grappling skills.įew games tell a story as compelling as this adventure, which truly sums up the franchise well. As usual, there also are plenty of treasures and notebook entries for players to find and optional conversations Nathan can have with his traveling companions.
He also gets into plenty of firefights with enemies, though this time there's a greater emphasis on stealth, with Nathan taking advantage of tall grass to hide before striking silently. He gets to make ample use of his famous climbing and traversal skills, which for the first time include a grappling ability that lets him climb and lower himself, swing over perilous gaps, and run along walls. The adventure that follows sees Nathan spelunking Scottish caves and exploring the wilds of Madagascar. But when his long-lost brother turns up in desperate need of help, Nathan is drawn back into his old life exploring ruins and seeking fortune - and feels compelled to lie to his wife, Elena, about it. Potentially the final chapter in Naughty Dog's popular action-adventure series, UNCHARTED 4: A THIEF'S END finds treasure hunter Nathan Drake a bit older and settled into the life of a working husband.
