#95 Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (PS4, 2016)


Since its inception, the Uncharted series has always been one of the top cover shooters in the business. The series blends in its solid gameplay with strong adventure elements, gorgeous scenery, and surprisingly fun puzzles all wrapped up in tales that evoke the classic film and video games that clearly inspired it. Uncharted 4 took the strengths of what came before it and improved upon them while mixing it up with some new tricks of their own.

The campaign was easily the best in the series with having more interesting non-tradtional gameplay segments, more bombastic set pieces, more varied and flexible scripted fights, and curiously adding in several open-world levels. They constantly swung for the fences, missing on several attempts (such as the plot meandering into melodramatic drivel, some of which I would argue did not make sense), but I was more than willing to forgive the shortcomings.

The primary reason why this made my list though is its multiplayer. I bought a 1 month trial to PS+ for the sole reason of playing multiplayer, and I got my money's worth and then some putting in countless hours into multiplayer for that month. Sporting the series' best map collection, increasing the player count in a match, and adding the mystical abilities made this the definitive Uncharted experience. I probably played at least an hour a day nearly every day for the duration of my trial. I was unable to get any B8ers to join me. I realize that unlike the time Wigs, Icon, Menji, numbers, Bartz, others, and I frequently played UC2 together (I am still disappointed though with how their methods of separating parties of five or more), I was late to the UC4 party as I started in 2018, but I was able to have a blast with completely random people. You know you have a good multiplayer if you can say that unconditionally.

The combination of the single and multiplayer make this the definintive Uncharted experience. Effusing so much praise toward this might then seem odd that I am ranking it "so low" at #95, but I have played a ton of games in my life, so look at it like this is in the 95 percentile of all games that I have played.
