Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Review | PCMag

Unfortunately, Uncharted 4 plays it safe, and focuses on a cinematic experience rather than innovative gameplay. The game dazzles the senses with brilliant direction, excellent voice work, and amazing visual fidelity, but it's held together by fairly generic third-person shooting and platforming.

what a bs review, salty?

On the " innovative gameplay " point
Well there is a saying for that, if it ain't broken dont fix it.

Uncharted gameplay has always been great, change it and you might hurt the game.

Even with that, naughty dog did add alot of new gameplay elements in Uncharted 4, i could list them but i dont feel the neccesary to.

What's Generic about fist fighting, swinging into combat, driving, climbing, swimming, etc.

DOOM is Just shooting, shooting, shooting.

Battlefield is just flying, shooting, driving, swimming.

Just stupid things people say.

I would not call that a review. lol.

All games elements they will stick to as that's what made them enjoyable to people in the first place.

As for Uncharted. It is a Story based game with Tons of action just like all the other Uncharted games.

Am I missing something or is the review only a few paragraphs and more ad's than review?

[Imalwaysright]

I couldn't read it. Something about cookies and I went to eat some...

I just looked and it's not a review.

The article says in the top right, "Preview". So does somebody want to report this one?

[TwoForce]

Oh, screw you PC MAG.

[DigitalRaptor]

Shouldn't a good review contain more than a couple of paragraphs of total BS?

Talks about "playing it safe", when this Uncharted boasts a truly remarkable expansion of its gameplay formula, becomes more grounded, and in some areas where The Last of Us influence plays a key part it risks losing what is Uncharted about Uncharted. I've been assured that it doesn't, but "playing it safe" is anything but the final product as is being described by the vast majority of these reviews and impressions.

The gunplay has already described as close to perfect, if not so, and drawn a number of comparisons to the incredible MGSV by too many for it to stand as being generic. The rest of the gameplay encompasses a greater number of styles than shooting and platforming.

Right there with you. Checked out the guys other reviews & he literally praised Rise of the Tomb Raider for the exact things he pans Uncharted for.

He also criticized RotTR for "playing it safe" but he had a much kinder wording "Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't very different from its predecessor, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since the core is solid."

Sounds to me like this guy hates traditional controllers, and if Uncharted 4 had a PC version, it would quickly move up in his biased book. I'm all for opinions, but you've gotta show your work. This guy doesn't Just throws a few paragraphs out making broad baseless accusations, strung together w/ a bunch of garbage hyperlinks and a web layout that anyone calling themselves PC Mag should be ashamed of.

PlayStation exclusives have always been the envy of many PC gamers.

nothing plays like uncharted(yeah you have the tomb raider reboot, but thats it) how is it generic then?

[Casepbx]

Relax people it's just one guy's opinion.

I am surprised that the author would give such a review seeing that there is nothing on PC that even comes close.
