Uncharted 4- 8/10

I have to admit, when I first played this game I was let down. I've softened on it since. Uncharted 2 is still my favorite, but I can't decide whether 4 or 3 takes my second place. 4 has a better story, but 3 has better locations and action moments.

When I first played this game, I felt like Sam Drake was out of place. Drake had never mentioned having a brother before, and his flashback in Uncharted 3 pretty much let us know he grew up alone. So I felt the character was brought out of nowhere and was inconsistent with the story. While I still feel the inconsistency is there, I have come to like Drake having a brother. The flashbacks were really cool.

My big complaints with this game are:
-Character models are lackluster
-Villain is lame and forgettable
-Finale not as climactic as previous two games
-Sometimes it doesn't feel like Uncharted, probably because Amy Hennig isn't the director.
-Game is too preachy, makes you feel like treasure hunting is a bad lifestyle choice, which invalidates the premise of the games.

Still a good game and probably the best one I have for PS4. I'm curious but very cautious about the upcoming spin-off revolving around Chloe. We'll see.
