Life as a thief beckons
The narrative of Uncharted 4 is as archaic as they come. After years of perilous travels, Nathan Drake has settled down to live a regular life with his wife, Elena Fisher. When his older brother Sam makes a surprise appearance after being presumed dead for 15 years, his past life comes back to haunt him.
Sam is in peril, and the only score that matters is the famed pirate captain Henry Avery's hidden treasure.
Although their relationship isn't very fresh, the voice actors' portrayals of it, lead by Nolan North as Drake and Troy Baker as Sam, two of the most well-known guys in the business, keep it going. They share amusing banter, but due to Sam's tougher exterior and lesser moral standards, they have the traditional sibling arguments.
The more interesting partner in the marriage is Drake's wife, Elena, who is portrayed by Emily Rose in both voice and motion-captured visage. She explores the marriage of two individuals who have had significantly more active lives than they do at the beginning of the novel and are unsure of their readiness to "retire." In A Thief's End, their on-screen chemistry has developed into something believable and delightfully mature over the course of the series.

Despite the familial interactions, this is still an action game, thus Nathan and his friends visit the typical locations visited by treasure hunters, such as dark caves and a hidden city on a tropical island, in order to learn what happened to Captain Avery and his cache of gold coins.
On paper, it's nothing extraordinary, yet because to the technical capabilities of the PlayStation 4 and the artistic vision of developer Naughty Dog, Uncharted 4 is a collection of postcards showcasing some of the most lavish environments in console gaming.

Uncharted 4 could be at its best when the player pauses the action and takes a moment to breathe in the scenery like a virtual tourist, despite its apparent Hollywood influences.
Although not novel, the ways you'll move about the carefully designed universe do so with significant technical skill. Wherever the left analog stick on the controller is pointed, Nathan will reach out for any reachable ledges on a rock face or building facade. It appears natural and provides the player with a clear indicator of when it is safe to move.
In Combat, firing is only acceptable
Combat is where the game stumbles a little, which may slow down more casual gamers. The plan seems reasonable at first; you have a few weapons and know how to approach unsuspecting mercenary guards covertly. However, one mistake:and you'll find yourself outnumbered, outgunned, and encircled.
Drake never feels as prepared for battle as his action-game peers from Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid. Fortunately, you may lower the level to the merciful "explorer mode" if you'd rather go sightseeing than practice your shooting.
A Thief's End ($79.99) may be the last game in the series, or at the very least the last game to include Drake, according to Naughty Dog's creators. The result
