Finally played this game. I enjoyed it a lot - although I must say I think Uncharted 2 was a better experience overall, though U4 had better gameplay. Nevertheless, I am glad I played it and the ending was satisfying.
- Combat was fun and varied.
- Graphics are very good. The game has a lot of 'wow' moments.
- Story, writing and characters were great. This game clearly wouldn't fly in 2023 as it would likely be far too 'cis normative'. Surprised Druckmann wrote this game.
- The levels are varied although I must say there was far too much platforming than I anticipated, so the game does drag on in the middle. I am not a fan of the pacing - there were occasions where I was begging for the game to end. Far too many meaningless flashbacks which overstay their welcome.
- Many of the design elements got boring fast e.g. breaking ledges, bridges etc. Every fucking platform segment featured these scripted segments and it was annoying.
All in all, a solid 8/10 experience. However, I would not play again - the game is far too long to be enjoyed a second time.
