Uncharted is a fraud, due to its inability to take its many inspirations and actually create something with its own stamp on it. It has no constant.
A stunning Uncharted Unreal Engine 5 imagining has been released, featuring cutscenes, platforming, combat, stealth, and vehicles.

This Valentine's Day got me thinking of some of my favorite video game couples. Specifically, Nate and Elena from the Uncharted Series.
Push Square's editorial team delve into their favourite PS4 games.
Uncharted 4, and probably from the beginning, is a game with a huge identity crisis and the game it was inspired by and the one it helped inspire has far surpassed it.
Clicks.....Dont fall for it guys.
This not stupid at all but i'm not agree with everything it's said.
This has got to be a joke article.
Here's the drivel from this drunken rant. I clicked so you don't have to.
"Just because a game sells well or wins numerous Game of the Year awards does not mean a game is actually good. While this is not inherently bad thing, Uncharted was inspired by the early Tomb Raider games and the Indiana Jones film series. Ironically it actually inspired the reboot of the Tomb Raider series, which has surpassed Uncharted as a series. The problem is is that Naughty Dog never take advantage of these inspirations. It shows that Uncharted is a fraud. Naughty Dog never gave Uncharted its own identity; it’s just a muddled up version of multiple different inspirations. Again, Uncharted is a fraud.
Uncharted 4, for instance, wants to be a game. But it also wants to be a piece of art, an immersive film (it’s not), and an emotionally engaging story with interesting characters (is not). Uncharted is a fraud. Nathan Drank is a poor man’s Indiana Jones, nothing more, nothing less. His wisecrack jokes are not funny and the character is completely superficial. Uncharted 4 does not even feel like a game. You go from chapter to chapter, no way back, very little room to explore (if any), solve some incredibly simple puzzles, and then on to the next chapter. Oh, and some of the most rudimentary gunplay you can find in any third-person-shooter. All of this in between some rather long cutscenes. So from my point of view — or rather the first thing I asked myself when playing Uncharted 4 was, is this even a video game? It’s been a while since I played Uncharted. They then went with the soap opera card. I had no emotional investment in it whatsoever. It was just — bad. Uncharted is a fraud because while it tries to be so many things at one time, it doesn’t succeed at doing what it sets out to do, at all.
I know people who are fans of Uncharted hate to admit it, but the early Tomb Raider games had a huge influence on the premise of the Uncharted series, moreso than any other game. The ironic thing is, the tables have turned. The Tomb Raider reboots have surpassed the games that inspired the series’ comeback, and that series, in turn, inspired Uncharted to begin with. As a video game, the new Tomb Raider is better due to the simple fact that it is a video game. After exploring areas you encounter you can use fast ravel in to re-visit these areas and explore further. You can find and explore almost countless tombs (my favorite part of the game) or you could strictly adhere to the story’s path. It gives you choice. Uncharted is a film (not a great one) masquerading as a video game. If it were released as a film, it would be panned as being a poor man’s Indiana Jones. It is not engaging and takes the player out of the game because of the plethora of cutscenes and linear progression of the game.
Lara Croft is a much more interesting character than Nathan Drake. Some will pan me for this, but Lara Croft is an incredibly strong female lead and an accomplished young woman as an archaeologist, which lends credence to her intelligence and her resourcefulness. She is a real person with real struggles. That is much more interesting to me than a thief who is a wannabe archaeologist, as knowledgeable as he may be, who is trying to make a wisecrack every minute or so when we all know that only Harrison Ford can pull this off. Nathan Drake is such a superficial character. This is another reason why Uncharted is a fraud; Nathan Drake is a failed attempt to emulate Indiana Jones."
It also seems he was too drunk to use spell check.
"Just because a game sells well or wins numerous Game of the Year awards does not mean a game is actually good. "
How does winning GOTY awards not make it good?? Its the best of the year. Should have just said Uncharted isnt for me and thats ok, you're not gonna like everything. There are great games that don't interest me too like almost every MMORPGs or JRPGs but Im not going to bash the game.
