I have yet to beat the game but it is always the Lara Croft version of Uncharted for me.


What I always liked about the series are still there , like how they give out mythical stories and Maya Histories from each artifact you've collected . You are going to get to learn a lot of them in this game . If you hate reading , luckily all of them are fully voiced .

The supernatural part is my favorite , like the "prophet" from last game . It is more or less , still as good as the last game but with prettier , larger towns to explore .

There are less action , more stealth and crafting in this game . If you are someone who is always looking for heavy gunfire action & beat'em up scenes , this probably isn't for you as most of the time you will be solving puzzles, exploring gorgeous places and hiding to ambush your enemies .

Just imagine a slower pace , a more brainy version of Uncharted 4 with less action but more customization .


And boy , the graphics . Can't even begin to describe it in words .
Just like last game , it provides a lot of options for the graphics , I am particularly fond of the adjustment for HDR .
If you don't have a great HDR TV , the luminance setting let you decide whether to show more graphical details or brighter HDR effects , each to your own preference .
Game looks moody and atmospheric thanks to the brilliant HDR implementation . Even the dirts in the dark caves and deep jungles are visible yet looking natural , dazzling fireworks in the festive little town , the lavish textures on every little decorative , I haven't really seen a game with so much environmental details since God Of War.
