- The culmination of all my Uncharted reviews. I hope you enjoy it :)
The Uncharted series has held a special place in my heart since I first played Uncharted 2 as a child. It was, at that time, the most cinematic game I ever played, and I had no idea how much crazier the series would get. Over the past year or so, I have revisited the games and given my updated thoughts on them, attempting to put nostalgia aside and evaluate them on their timeless qualities. This is the result.

Uncharted is a series I grew up with, and this Uncharted Retrospective will chronicle my evolving Uncharted critiques, Uncharted reviews, Uncharted analysis, including my Uncharted 2 review, Uncharted 3 review, Uncharted Golden Abyss review, Uncharted 4 review, Uncharted Lost Legacy r review, and my video ranking the Uncharted games to decide what the best Uncharted game is. As stated, I hope there isn't a new Uncharted game any time soon, but if there is I will cover it and add it to this Uncharted series retrospective. I reviewed every Uncharted game, and Uncharted years later, hold us surprisingly well. The Uncharted story explained in this video will cover the Uncharted PS5 games like the Legacy of Thieves collection and the Nathan Drake collection, but not the Uncharted Movie. - Ігри
For some reason i always get the urge to replay the Uncharted games every fall/winter. I think it reminds me of getting a couple of them for Christmas when I was younger. This video came out with perfect timing, I think I'll redownload my Uncharted games and give them another run
I love this series so much, it is my favorite franchise in gaming easily. Im probaly in the minority but maybe in around 5 years or so i would like to see a remake of uc1, its a great game but it could be so much more and with todays technology, could be one of the best actions made
Unfortunately I don't think that would happen. Amy Hennig is gone and Druckmann doesn't have any love for the series. His baby is Last of Us and he's gonna milk it for all its worth.
@@dagrimmreepai have my criticisms of duckmann but i just don’t think that’s true. druckmann cowrote uncharted 2 and 4, he clearly has an issue with milking the last of us, but i think saying he has no love for uncharted is a bit far fetched
they are overseeing another studio remake uncharted 1!
Oh my gosh the fact you knew I was getting ready to go to sleep💀🤣🤣🤣
He proudly called us out😂
Wake up. It's been 5 months, you've been in a coma
The underground Nazi base is the best part of Drakes Fortune. It’s hinted at the entire game. I’d go as far as to say it inspired another Naughty Dog game; the one that became a HBO classic.
Wolfenstien???
I bought a PS4 this year - the first PlayStation I’ve ever had - so I could finally play all of the Uncharted games.
The first and 3rd games were very rough and difficult to get through (gameplay for the first, story for the 3rd).
But I’ve absolutely fallen in love. The closest thing we’ve ever gotten to an authentic Indiana Jones videogame experience. Since July, I’ve played all the games including Lost Legacy, replaying U4 on Crushing difficulty (will not be playing the first 3 on anything but Normal after already beating them on Hard, gameplays just too rough) and just recently replayed 1 & 2 to collect every single collectible.
This series has become one of my favorites of all time, even though I just played these for the first time after this franchises end 5 years ago.
First time PlayStation owner, there's a series called Tomb Raider you should really go back and look at if you like Uncharted.
I always loved the paranormal stuff in Uncharted and while it's unrealistic they could've added a touch to Uncharted 4 to build up a pirate mistery that I love but could see the twist for a mile away. They are pirates, It couldn't have ended any other way.
I'm eagerly waiting for December because I made this system where at the start of December I would give myself until Christmas (25 days) to beat all 5 uncharted games. I made this because it gets me into the Christmas spirit but also reminds me of when I first got the games for Christmas. Highly recommend having a seasonal game you only play around Christmas or any holiday for that matter.
I do something very similar. Every year, On my winter break, (~21 days) I try to beat every Batman Arkham game. And on my summer break, (Early June to Mid August) I try to beat all 4 Uncharted games twice. Yes, twice. (I really wish I had Lost Legacy) Anyway, have a seasonal game/series that you play around Christmas or summer. It's really fun.
Thanks for this! Ive seen all these individual videos multiple time but now im going to listen to this like a podcast while i plod away at my housework
Hehe I'm at work and now I'm set for 3 hours thank u so much. love your videos.
Props to you for looking out on those falling asleep to your videos. Respect dawg
Holy shit. This is everything I wished for. After so many years of loving this game so much someone makes a 3 hour video about it. This is amazing bro thank you so much for finally really looking at this marble .
You're an amazing youtuber. I've never liked uncharted at all but I still click instantly when you post. Keep it up!
Glad to hear your thoughts on this luke. I think it looks beautiful and cannot wait to get lost in Pandora. I hope it's really good and gets worthwhile sequels
I love u for allowing me falling asleep listening to u so much, great start to the video
Really just have to say I appreciate your work man the amount of effort you put in for us fans is amazing
I absolutely love this series. I go back and forth between choosing 2 and 4. Although when I replay the series I never play the first game. I only watch the cutscenes. Because I actually think the story in drakes fortune is still a blast to watch. I just think that playing it is a chore unfortunately lol
I love the uncharted series and tomb raider series I grew up on back in the ps1 days. I even have the same ring as a necklace. No matter how many reviews I watch of games I’ve already played I always look forward to watching yours too lmao
i dont like how you called me out just as i rolled over and closed my eyes to fall asleep lmaoooo
I would love to see remakes of the older uncharted games, especially Golden Abyss (I'm sure that the legacy of Theives collection, Last of us 2 abd Part 1 combined have enough assets between them to cover most of the assets required for the first 4 games), but I'd also absolutely love a sequel series with Cassie Drake as the main protagonist and Nathan in a Sully-type role, like you said.
Man my UA-cam home page needs to pick its shit up, why didn’t this show up?? Can’t wait to watch!
Just got a ps5 and I’m gonna be playing uncharted 4 for the first time on it. I got the Nathan drake collection ps4 as a kid (and had no idea what uncharted even meant) and it was an absolute blast. Can’t wait to play after Spider-Man 2.
Happy see more of these compilation vids
Actually, Rafe's insecurities that led to his quest for glory were lampshaded by Nate near the ending during a jeep section, I think it was a bit after Elena found him after he fell. So Rafe's complexities were not just due to that one last line. I admit they were subtle about it but I love subtlety and his obsession with the treasure makes so much sense when understanding what drives him. Personally, my favorite Uncharted villain AND Uncharted character in general. 😊
I’m watching this in bed about to fall asleep wth 😂 love this, earned a sub brother ❤
Uncharted 4 was my first true playstation game since the ps4 was my first ps console. Ever since i played it the first time, I've played it once or twice every year since 2015 and well the first 4 games will always be my favourite games besides gears of war and all. Big thanks cause of Uncharted 4
One tactic (if a little risky) on taking down Draza in Uncharted 2 is melee him and the. After the series of attacks, blast him with your guns, then repeat
My first experience with uncharted was the nathan drake collection back when I first got my ps4 in 2017, and now it's one of my favorite series of all time
i watched every uncharted video you made so again i don't think i should have to watch it again but yeah nice compilation
Great video 😊
Wow a youtuber who acknowledges that a good fraction of their audience is watching this video in the background or watching it to fall asleep and doesn't turn it into a shitty excuse to jokingly scream into the mic/play a loud noise?? I know that's such an oddly specific complaint but I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for noy doing that, and the fact that you even mixed the audio to be more chill. So many longform content creators do that shit to try and be funny, and it gets on my nerves. Like why push away such a decent portion of your audience like that? I actively cringed because I thought you were building up to that same old, tired joke in the intro, but needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Much appreciated, man! Loving the vid so far
Now this is what I'm talking about
I don't appreciate being caught in 4k like that😂😂
I literally just started my first playthrough of the first 3 games and this pops up lmao
Sure am listening to this as I full asleep 😂
The dead space style work the healthbar into the costume is the best way to do it i think. Idk a better way to do it precisely.
An idea that I always had is that Nate could have a white long bandana or handkerchief in his back pocket or waist that fills up with red as he's closer to death and when its becomes red completely, Nate dies. I always liked the look of the game so its always lame when theres no color and you cant see the guys shooting you.
My heart was crushed when you did uncharted 2 dirty 😭
To the point of uncharted 3 on them being able to sneak behind you I never experienced this or at least don’t remember it being a problem and I regularly replay these games on high difficulties
This series is the definition of Action Adventure.
On rail sections could just disable the black and white effect and just use screen shake and it get more aggressive the more you get hit
I have played all of them, but had not heard of golden abyss before. I guess I’m gonna have to play it now, even though it doesn’t look that good…
4 is my fav. insane gameplay quality jump and storytelling.
Idk if what im about to say makes sense but there are few games/movies of true adventure and that feeling just diminish as time goes on. Uncharted is my favorite game. And although my dumb brain says " MORE NATE!!!" I hope he is put to rest. Just imagining a new game where he appears out of nowhere in a small cameo, i can see the OG fans freaking out and having a good time. The possible futures u talked about honestly sounded great, the concerned father, the daughter following the steps and who knows maybe a make sidekick and Nate gets a lil overprotective lol.
I just wanna say I’ll be replaying these games until I die, they just get better and better with every entry
Edit: maybe the daughter meets a guy whos like young nate and falls in love and wants to be with him but Nate doesn’t like that he sees himself in the guy. So he and she argue and have a fall out and then Dad powers coming through when she needs it and then he needs to trust the new dude to help and yeah my brain lol.

Omds new video to sleep to everyday
u got me white the second monitor
There is not another franchise like Uncharted. It's a bloody shame Sony / Naughty Dog have ostensibly abandoned it, despite Uncharted 4 selling 20+ million copies.
Played these games for the first time last year minus the vita game. Awesome series, 2 was my personal favorite, i gave 1 a break for the reasons you said, 3 was the weakest story in my opinion. 4 was very satisfying. Legacy was a nice short to the point title like Miles Morales was to the spiderman series.
I never even knew the roman numerals thing in uncharted 1 was a puzzel
There's a theory that Talbot is secretly a Djin who is using Marlowe and her men to release other Djinn which would explain his seemingly supernatural feats.
Too bad the Indiana Jones franchise couldn’t be as consistent as this franchise
I see you, sir
Something i want to say about Nadine and power scaling in general is that gameplay isnt canon. You made great points to defend her character and Nates physical state at the time of these scenes. I want to be charitible to the Nathan stans and say that this is an example of gameplay not being canon and fans confusing writing by the author and freedom of the player.This reminds me of when the devs said that Nates health bar is actually his luck and when he dies, his luck ran out. On technicality, its one or two blows that kills him. With Nathans luck in mind, Nadine standing up to him is more plausible. Gameplay isnt Canon and we need to be careful to not get player freedom and authorial intent mixed up.
I beat uncharted 1 on hard mode in one sitting, and it took seven hours. I don't know about my time compared to others or if it was fast or slow but I thought the game was too easy for hard mode and I checked multiple time to see if I accidentally changed it to medium. The game was pretty good, though.
As someone who sleeps to these. Thank you

I still havent actually played the 1st one. Finally got a Vita and played Golden Abyss though
As much as I love Uncharted 4, it always sorta lacked the insanity that U2 and U3 had. U4 feels to mature not a bad thing per se. But to me there is something about going on a swashbuckling adventure for treasure, that you need to get down and dirty and ofc cheese it a bit. That's how the original Indiana Jones Trilogy also was made.
Also the hesitancy from Nathan in U4 sorta conflicts with the player wanting to find the treasure. Sure you kinda go by proxy to Sam, but that turns it into an extra step. So in that sense the story is kinda un-intentionally is fighting the player. And I guess TLOU P2 has that issue to me as well, though the latter might be actually intentional.
Which generates some resistance playing or replaying Uncharted 4. While previous entry's just suck you in and you are on this wild roller coaster popcorn ride.
Am all for submitting myself to the story/narration to a game, but if gets in they of player agency in a video game it gets counter intuitive. And I worry that this might become a thing for future Naughty Dog games.
I love this series but was so sad to see that uncharted 4 didnt have brutal mode or donut drake, as ive beaten 1,2, and 3 on brutal. To this day that is my biggest accomplishment in life.
🤨
Nothin’ but love ❤️

I am pretty much in sync with you through the series.
As far as Nadine and Legacy having two women, people will complain about women. Gaming had always been seen as a boys hobby so they feel threatened by a woman, but the only argument I see is that for Legacy. I didn’t want to play as Raiden in MGS2, and they don’t want to play as either woman in an Uncharted game. I think Chloe is a great character and I could listen to Claudia Black all day long.
As mentioned, I think many people have a hard time keeping their personal politics out of it, and I get that it can be tough, but it’s nearly 2024. It’s time to hang up the gloves and stop fighting any and all progress.
If you don’t like it, vote with your wallet.
Lastly, what if that company making an Uncharted was Bend Studios? They made Golden Abyss and even though I REALLY liked Days Gone, I guess most didn’t. I think they could do great things with the franchise.
ua-cam.com/video/BX-BzV8RIJE/v-deo.html - I've had an idea relating to how the gameplay could be adapted going forward but it is story dependant as far as I can think. So the "web" with linear paths you mention could be used as such and the "hub" you mention could also be used as it's centre. The story would need multiple factions, all competing for the same prize (not uncommon in the Uncharted series) and you have to catch up or stay ahead of the other factions to get there first with what piece of the puzzle you have that gives you the edge over them. You start on a linear path for a mission or two, then expand it into the web like design with the hub. From here you can choose to go down whatever route you like with varying outcomes depending on where you go first, who you kill or save, if you lose companions etc, concluding in different endings due to your actions or even the same ending but with a different path so that there is a definitive ending for the game. I think this would make for an excellent Uncharted game to develop further on from 4 and LL in terms of scope.
Uncharted is my favourite series of recent times.
I love the uncharted games they are freaking fantastic in my opinion.
umm, in pokemon Platinum you need to blow into a microfone of your console to clear the trap in the underground. To evolve Inkay you need to hold your console upside down. IN usper mario galaxy you need to hold your controller vertically and tilt it to controll Mario while he is riding the glass ball. All of that was sucessfully emulated. Single keyboard button press to emulate noise in microphone, mouse swipe down while holding left button to emulate holding console upside down and a single button hold to indicate that controller is in vertical position and WASD to tilt it. I think there is nothing hard to emulate light source detector reacting to ligh
Ive played the first three, and ive got the fourth but my ps5 seems to glitch the game out really bad every time i try to play so im looking for my ps4 again to play it
You should donthe God of War series. Plenty of material for you there
Love how you cover games. Id rank
UC4 (top 5 games for me)
UC2
UC:LL
UC3
UC1
Unrelated but are you ever gonna cover the God of War series?
This guy is goated frfr. Lots of people doing it, not like him though
1 was ok for 2007.
2 was perfection even for today’s standards.
3 is outstanding but a bit too unrealistic and over the top.
4 is again perfection and closes the franchise in a very satisfactory way.
I think 4 is the best, even better than 2. More mature and I am very happy Amy left because 3 was a MESS.
Sic Parvis Magna.
1:37 Naughty Dong
u didnt even put the good uncharted 2 theme song in
Weren't the Djinn enemies in Uncharted 3 just a part of the water hallucination of the Ancient City that Nate drank? I think you didn't get that because at 2:39:07 you said they were real and they were just a product of that poisoned water. That's why that city and its civilization crumbled, bc of that water. So... No Djinns, just drugs lol
Did you mean to release this the second part 2 remastered got announced
Why is everyones favorite uncharted mod always fat drake?
El god damn Dorado
You are amazing you should do fallout next
Are you planning on reviewing Assassin's Creed Nexus?
Maybe next year but I don’t even have a quest yet lol
@@ThatBoyAqua Lol that's fair enough. I'm holding off on buying it myself because it's like 40 dollars which is insane for vr where most games are about 20
Damn shame I own all the uncharted games and installed but only beat uncharted 4.
6:11
Naughty dog would've been better off remaking the ps3 uncharted games starting with Drake's Fortune 🤔💯
Are you ever gonna do the last of us games?
Yea I’d like to at some point. Might have to turn the comments off though lol
21:35 “he discovered the descendants were actually humans” no honey they were nazis lmao
It just saddens me, this was when naughty dog actually made really good games. The first 2 were the best 3 is ok 4 is mid
Huh
I remember playing uncharted 3 so much that I'd almost memorized the entire game when I was like 9. Then uncharted 2 became my favorite game for nearly 10 years.
Didn’t like some part of Uncharted 4 but 2 & 3 are timeless for sure. Sad to see fall of Naughty dogs
1ST We had A Lofi Arkham Series Retrospective to Sleep/Relax/Study to THEN We Had A InFAMOUS Series Retrospective to Sleep/Relax/Study to AND NOW We Have A Lofi Uncharted Series Retrospective to Sleep/Relax/Study to!!!
Umm calling these videos Lofi is just an issult..
@@ericad528 my dude aqua has literally called them that himself
I’ll never forget the first time I heard Nathan Drake tell Sully, “it’s Morbin time”
Made me tear up just reading your comment. When my wife got pregnant from her boyfriend Hank we named the child Nathan Francis Morbius in honor of Naughty Dog's heckin amazing video game series
2:16:29 You know, I really don't understand how an alternate, fat version of a FICTIONAL CHARACTER could offend someone.
Especially when he's doing all this crazy action shit. It's not like he's constantly out-of-breath or whatever.
So it just doesn't make sense, Mr. Druckmann.
Does anyone think asylum is the worst? Its the best of them and I actually feel city is too overrated. But maybe thats just me.
The Lost Legacy is perfectly fine but definitely not timeless. Uncharted isn't the same without Nathan Drake in some capacity.
Lol don’t ever compare Batman: Arkham Asylum to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Arkham Asylum is actually considered one of the greatest games ever made - Drake’s Fortune is not.
Never been so early
wwwaw
The tangent about Nadine is so satisfying to hear because of how it detangles such a stupid, pointless argument. Of course Nate is gonna lose against the LEADER OF A MERC GROUP IN CQC. He's got other stuff he specializes in, and also he's washed up. Thank you for bringing up and destroying that idiotic take.
You're too anal about story, its a game bruh. Like seriously..
My boy
