Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection review
So even in these remastered states there are areas in which the Uncharted games show their age, and that's particularly true of Drake's Fortune, but in a way that’s part of the charm: you get to see how the series has evolved, getting prettier, wittier and more bombastic with each new entry. The action is great, getting better with each sequel, but it’s the writing and design that shines brightest. It’s thrilling and funny in equal measure, and strikes a balance between the two that no game before or since has quite matched. If you’ve never played them before you might initially wonder what all the fuss was about with the first one, but the story will hook you in all the same and you’ll play straight through into Uncharted 2. That’s where it will really click. That’s the point that you’ll realise you’re playing a bonafide classic. And then you’ll be straight into Drake’s Deception, and you’ll be amazed at what Naughty Dog achieved with last-gen hardware, which will get you salivating at the prospect of a proper, made-for-PS4 sequel. This may well be the best, most consistent gaming series there’s ever been, and being back in Drake’s presence is an absolute pleasure. Here’s hoping A Thief’s End isn’t actually the end of the Uncharted series.
Still brilliant games; Really impressive remastering job; A lot of content and quality for the cash;
Playing all three in quick succession reveals some repetition;
