"The word “Unearthed” is about two letter switches away from the word “Uncharted” and, indeed, it seems that this game is trying to emulate the success of Nathan Drake’s big, blockbuster adventures. The set-up is very much the same: an avid fortune hunter – Faris Jawad – follows the footsteps of the Muslim explorer Ibn Battuta through uncharted and mysterious locations, with his female companion, Dania, for company."
Many developers try to copy great games and they often fail miserably. These are some video game rip-offs that are hilariously bad.
Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing
We kick off the Year of the Bad Games with this Uncharted knock-off.

I think I paid about 50p for it, despite the game being pretty bad (even for ps2 standards), the glitches were hilarious, I had fun with it :)
Just learned about this game, and watched a couple of YT videos of the "first one". Wish I never did, this is probably one of the worst games, I have ever seen!
RRRRRRR!! UR JUS A STOOPID UNCHARTED FANBOY!!
In all seriousness, this looks absolutely terrible. Not just because it's the biggest ripoff ever, either. Regardless, I'm still so very tempted to play it.
"For starters, the story just doesn’t work – it feels like a bunch of random sequences loosely tied together..."
Like Uncharted 3?
Anyway, how did this game manage to get released? I just watched a bit of gameplay and it doesn't even seem like it's finished. The movement animations are ridiculous, too. The guy actually slides before the walk/run animation starts.
I'll wait for the game of the year edition.
I don't believe this game deserves 1/10, I feel that this review is biased.
