Why is Uncharted 4 a Masterpiece | 5 Years Later

- Опубліковано 22 тра 2021
- Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the best games of all time and one of the most sold Playstation Exclusive ever. So in this video, we will go down memory lane and remember why Uncharted 4 is even until this day, still considered a Masterpiece 5 years after it's release. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the perfect conclusion to Nathan Drake and Elena's story in this franchise and Naughty Dog truly worked their magic once again with this game and the story. The game was beautifully directed by Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann and focused on our beloved characters like Nathan Drake, Elena, Sam, Sully more than the story itself, which made the game feel more personal compared to the first 3 Uncharted games.
Hopefully in this video, we can touch on the moments this game made us experience that made a good chunk of people that played this game, consider it to be one of the best games ever made and a true masterpiece.

Uncharted 4 found the perfect balance between gameplay and story. What a work of art
It was boring and it lags like hell.
Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean we all have to share the same opinion. I loved the game personally.
@@doge2629 boring????? LAGGY?????? tf are u talking about boy?? Lmfaoo
@@hardyal8180 leave him, he's just another idiot with no dads hahhahaha
@@doge2629 yeah dont play it with broken ps4
“Hey Nate?”
“Yeah?”
“We’re never coming back to this city!”
“Add to the list.”
“Ha!”
Legendary quote 😂
@@apnerds yeah 😂😂
Nate has killed ten times more people than Joel, Ellie and Abby combined 😂
😅
Oooooh yes
Idk about that 💀
truthhh
@@megamonke2195 Yes nate has killed more people in Uncharted 2 alone.
Uncharted 4 is a shining example of how to write a realistic relationship between two adults in a videogame.
I always replay 4 every year. This game is honestly such a masterpiece and the theme sound is astonishing
That sound gives me chills every time....
Find the song about Sam's chase in Madagascar
3 is the best
@@standingintherain6519 bruh
@@standingintherain65192 + 4 are objectively better than 1 + 3. The debate is 2 vs 4
Find someone that looks at you like Elena looks at Nate when he's recounting the end of the Founders
You're speaking my language
Uncharted 4 is a masterpiece, plain and simple
W opinion W profile
I’m in the year 6969
I love The Last of Us 2 and I usually say its my favorite game.. But deep down I know that when Uncharted 4 came out I felt thrilled as I've never done again 😭 Deep down it's my favorite franchise, but dont tell Ellie.
Same
Same
In my opinion, there are 5 outstanding games in the PS4 generation: Red Dead Redemption 2, Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, TLOU Remastered and TLOU 2....could't choose between them.
@@stefanhell3521 for me its
red dead 2 uncharted 4 tlou remastered ghost of tshumia
I haven’t played tlou2 beacuase it has brought religion in to the game and and please please watch a vedio of a closer look he is amazing his video about tlou2 he wrote a better story SPOILER SPOILER WHY AFTER YOU FINISH THE GAME FOR NOTHING YOU DONT EVEN KILL ABBY WHY PLEASE
@@raphaelvarane9424 I don't agree with you on Ghost of Tsushima. It's a very good game but not a masterpiece in my book. For being a masterpiece it's too formulaic, like many other open world games (looking at you Ubisoft). TLOU 2 on the other hand has a divisive story but beyond that its world design, the memorable characters, the flawless combat and the overall experience make it a truly outstanding game with an - at least - dareful story. I'd even go so far to say BECAUSE of its story and some unpopular plot decisions it accomplished something no other game has done before.
I watched uncharted 4 serie on yt almost 16 times
It always give me so much emotions and it make me feel, like I'm on adventure or sth
It's such an immersive experience
When this game came out, I was 12 and I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I grew up. When I watched someone on UA-cam play it, my mind was blown at how the game looked. I’ve never seen a game look as real as Uncharted 4 did. I knew that THAT was what I wanted to do. I wanted to make the next Uncharted 4.
I’m 18 now, I’m going to start college next year with my major being game art and design. My dream is to work for Naughty Dog. It was all because of this game that I’m going to follow those dreams. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
This game holds the most special place in my heart and it simply remains my favourite game of all time. The one aspect of games that I focus on above anything else is story and this is what made me love Uncharted 4, the story was perfect for me, yes it had some flaws but the writing especially for the relationship between Nate and Elena was flawless and that to me was near perfect and hit even closer to my heart due to the simple fact that I grew up with Uncharted games and with Nate and Elena so seeing their relationship blossom and finally culminate to a perfect close hit me hard because I felt like I was THERE and not just watching this behind a screen. Another thing was chapter 11 of this game was the best chapter in gaming I have EVER played. The scene was beautiful, the clock tower puzzle was extremely entertaining and learning about the secrets of the pirate history that lay beneath the tower was beautiful. Not to mention the action sequence that follows was the most euphoria I’ve ever got from a game before and in the end again, tied back to Nate and Elena’s relationship. Stunning and complete hats off to naughty dog cause they damn well perfected it
Most emotional moments in the game:
- when the intro kicks in after Nathan's jump/fall from the cliff...that music, man...
- when Sam shows up in Nathan's office after all those years
- when Sam and Nathan discover Libertalia
- when Nathan saves Sam from Avery's ship
- the epilogue when Elena stays at the diary and the music starts playing
My favorite part in the game is when you are in the elevator with Elena and the jeep. When you start driving the engine is quiet and there’s just music: Piano and strings. It’s so beautiful
Yes. I love that part. You could feel the emotions.
I love the uncharted franchise, uncharted 4 was my favorite, they found the perfect balance of story & gameplay, I also love when storied franchises reach their conclusion & uncharted 4 found the perfect way to wrap up Nathan’s story, I can’t imagine it having a different ending, For me this was a masterpiece.
I also applaud how they ended the story without going the classic "death of main character way" My boy NAthan got to retire with his wife, brother and best friend being still there like a fucking boss.
@@diegoestmar559 yea I really don’t like the “this is the end of the story so let’s kill off a major character” trope, whether it’s a game, movie or tv show so I’m really happy everyone lived through to the end.
themarine0316 absolutely! I find it cheap most of the times where they can’t manage to think of an ending without killing protags. Then again not every story needs to be a sad ending
@@diegoestmar559 true I agree 💯
Uncharted 2 might be the most intense gameplay but 4 was by far the best
"Uncharted 4 revived my love for gaming." This is literally how I felt for The Last of Us Part II so I completely understand what you mean.
Ironically TLOU 2 did the opposite for me 😂
@@bishbosh4815 😂......me too. But the gameplay was legit
@@arb1897 the gameplay was awesome and so were the graphics but the story was not awesome.
@@anessamer same....... that's exactly what I said earlier
@Hossam Akarkach
That person said they didn't like depressing stories, not that they didn't want to play games with a story. a
nd no, they don't have to blindly consume any story the developers wanted to tell, or agree with their choices, they can choose to enjoy whatever they want. Just because they did not enjoy your mediocre revenge tale does not mean they don't enjoy stories altogether, keep THAT in your mind, and turn the snob down a notch.
Also, what a sad thing it is to hear that you believe stories in games have only been relevant as of 2021 because of the last of us 2. You should play more games. What has TLOU2 achieved to be lauded as a milestone in video game storytelling anyway? Many games have much better narratives and tackle much more complex and philosophical themes that make your head spin. Games like Nier:Automata, Soma, Amnesia, undertale, Bioshock, metal gear solid, dark souls have much better narratives. Nier and soma are exceptionally brilliant in that they tackle very complex themes (Actually complex, not revenge bad and I feel bad for killing dog) about what makes us human.
I love all the uncharted games, but this is the only one I’d consider a masterpiece
I love this game so much.
And what really cemented this story for me was the scene where Nate and Elena were at the pirate's table.
The look that Elena has and gives Nate while he is discussing what has happened...it is both heartbreaking and amazing.
You truly see how much she loves Nate as well as the subtle yet not so subtle realization that this is what they both enjoy and live for other than the love she has for him.
This...this moment and many like it are what makes Uncharted so amazing as not just a game, but a piece of truly deep and amazingly human media. In my opinion, there have been very few stories and characters that have grabbed me and really pulled at so many emotions and memories.
It doesn't hurt that at the time I was struggling with my own career and failing marriage(which didn't last like Nate & Elena's marriage), but it is something that is truly amazing. It's hard to convey to so many people I know, yet once they experience these games/stories and have been in similar situations....they are truly hard to ignore just how deep and superbly awe-inspiring the medium of gaming truly is and can be.
You've done an amazing job here, sir and this series and several like it will always have a special place in my heart and life.
The microemotions shown on both Nate's and Elena's face in the motel cutscene is genuinely art
Uncharted 4 / God of War and RDR2 ...all Masterpieces. Thank you for this video.
And best of all time, The Witcher 3.
@@trumpjongun8831oh my friend, you freacking nailed it. Uncharted 4, RDR2 and GOW are masterpieces, but nothing like The Witcher 3.
@@KingKong-ux3gg Thx 🙂
I agree, games like GoW, UC4 and Rdr 2 are atleast 9/10 games to me, but The Witcher 3 is the only game i can give 10/10.
Can't wait to play it on Ps5 and earn my third Platinum/100% TW3 stack 😀
@@trumpjongun8831 YES! I can happily replay RDR 2 every now and then and GOW and U4 like two times per year, but The Witcher is a game I can replay every week just to be in White Orchard which in my opinion is the best opening area/level EVER.
@@KingKong-ux3gg
Yeah, the world of Witcher is just perfect.
I don't have specific favourite, but I agree White Orchard is a great opening area.
Good decision from the devs that Tw3 basics and story begins from a smaller area and not right away on the huge main map.
I was also amazed of Blood and Wine dlc, because it could be just a standalone game.
They nailed the dlc and Toussaint was very beautiful and detailed world also.
Want to add that The Witcher 3 atmosphere is just on another level compared to other AAA games and that is one of the main reasons why I love it so much.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas were also games to me what had that "drug" like atmosphere what hooked me up to play them more and more 🙂
wonderful video! i actually think that beautiful scene where nate was going about the pirates and elena just stared at him wasn’t only her realizing what they were meant to do, but i also think she was remembering why she fell in love with him in the first place :)
suprised to notice a albanian in the comments haha
When she said “it’s incredible” it was directed at her husband. The new visuals did a stunning job of conveying emotions on the characters faces :)
Funny that they’re now making an Uncharted movie even though it’s a story that can “only be told through video games.” Great video. A bit disappointed you didn’t mention that masterpiece of an epilogue, but hey, amazing video.
Are they actually making a movie?
@@ungusbungus2486 yes, it was announced a couple months ago
@@js5861 oof, I hope it’s good
@@ungusbungus2486 Yup and Tom Holland (Spidey) is playing a young Nathan Drake
I don’t think a movie can tarnish my experience. Some things are unable to be ruined. Even the last of us part 2 can’t ruin the first one.
Never played uncharteds until uncharted 4... now 2024, still the only game I play every single year and still think what an amazing game... really makes me want to be there like no other game. 10/10. The views, the story... no words! The one and only one game I will continue playing over and over and over..
I replayed all Uncharted games 🤣
They are too addictive. I can't live without them.
@@apnerds Same and It is my favourite game of my life...
I might do that again for the platinum trophy for each one.
On console or youtube?
Same here.
Seems like naughty dog and rockstar has the most amazing memorable games

@@smoker5989 and also good luck because from what I Heard the game got even more broken with each update 😑
This game is how you end a story!
The chase scene is the best action I've ever seen in a game
All the scenes you showed were the ones that really hooked me and I loved them for the exact same reasons you did😭. Perfect game and perfect video
I absolutely love the Uncharted series. 4 is one of my favourites from the series. But 2 is just 🔥
Uncharted 2 is also my favorite Uncharted game. I’ve played that game over 20 times in my lifetime.
@@apnerds same here. It's just soooo perfect
It has the most satisfying death I could remember in a video game. Made beating the (pretty epic) final boss battle even more satisfying.
I got my ps4 my sister gave me for my birthday. It was a bundle with U4. I still remember feeling empty after finishing it. Absolutely amazing. Also love your channel man. You said here you were in college, are you game a dev?
I played through all the 5 Uncharted games on ps4 for the first time, in the course of less than a year, and the experience of those stories really did feel amazing.
and yes, I said 5. Lost Legacy was also amazing.
I’m still waiting for Nolan North to do his full official play through of number 4.
We all are. He should bring back Troy Baker as well on that playthrough.
@@Ay3shizzle that would be fun lol
I recently played and got the platinum for the whole saga, because I realized I had probably missed one of the greatest franchises of all time. Well, I wasn't wrong, what a game and what a series.
the music at 13:33 is just AMAZING
Music name pls
Two years ago, a friend of mine borrowed his PS4 console along with a few games: the first three games in the Uncharted series and God of War (2018). Having limited time to play, I checked on the internet which games are the best in the series and I played only the second one, while the others I watched on UA-cam. Uncharted 4 and Legacy of Thieves I bought myself. A Thive's End is one of the best games, from all points of view, ever made. The emotions, the excitement it gave me; the way I connected with the story and the characters' feelings and development. Unbelievable.
Thank you for making this video and thank you Naughty Dog for creating such a masterpiece!
Uncharted 4 is one of my all time favorite games. It was the first time in many years I was truly impressive with pretty much every aspect of the experience. I always find it strange when people hate on this game solely based on Neil's involvement with it.
I may not like Neil's work on TLOU 2 but what he did in TLOU 1 and Uncharted 4 was absolutely phenomenal.
When Uncharted 4 came out I didn't know much about it. And I hadn't played the earlier games and had no knowledge about the story I wanted to buy Watch Dogs 2 but my dad bought me Uncharted 4 I will never know why he did that but I'll always be grateful to him. Since then I've bought the Nathan Drake collection and have played Uncharted 4 about 5 times now.
Brilliant review. It's simply an amazing gaming experience. The story the gun play and the melee combat are amazing. It's just a great pleasure to play such a beautiful game. Miss Uncharted so much.
The game was so fuckin good that somebody stole the disc version from me but the person who stole the game from me didn’t even play it😂
Such a beautiful video for such a fantastic game that holds such a huge place in my heart! I love your content dude!!😍
Bruh this game isnt a masterpiece
Its a game made by the gods
Naughty God :3
Thanks for your video - so much great times with this game.
That one of the only game my wife did also with me !
Nostalgia-a sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past. Yep.
This was more realistic take in uncharted series rather than previous ones when without monsters, curses and some mythical stuff. That's why I loved it even more🔥💯
I love this game so much words can’t describe it. I still get that sense of awe and wonder whenever revisiting this one.
Uncharted 4 was a masterpiece because they didn’t try to unnecessarily kill off characters and spend way more time polishing gameplay to perfection while just leaving the story half baked and polarizing like The Last of Us 2 did. Uncharted gave some fan service, heightened the stakes of the story and gave some awesome cinematic sequences, and the characters were so memorable. It brought everything to a close in the most perfect way possible and the gameplay and combat was the best it’s ever been. Oh and it was visually breathtaking with outstanding voice acting. It was just a solid 10/10
It’s not like “oh you guys remember that one NPC Drake shot (Ramsay) in Uncharted 3. His son was on that ship wreck and he’s out for the treasure and Nate’s head. If Uncharted 3 was about love, the past and family, Uncharted 4 is about hatred, the present, and revenge. Spend half the game playing as Ramsay the Pirate’s son in Yemen and learn to love his character.” And we’re supposed to eat it up like it’s masterful nuanced storytelling. People act way too pretentious defending TLOU2
Well that does it, time to take a break from Ps5 and dust of my ps3 and ps4 to replay all these games 😃
That's the spirit
But you can play these games on PS5...
“Lemme flex my consoles in the comments real quick”
The graphics are still better than some games today
*cough* lastofus2 *cough*
Still can’t believe how AMAZING this game looks, naughty dog are goated, excited to see what they can bring to ps5 in the years to come
Your channel is kind of an inspiration to me.
You know a franchise is good when everyone has different rankings of the games
Seeing a play through of that car chase scene at 3:20 is what made me buy this game- I was absolutely blown away by the scale, speed, physics, excitement , invention of that section- Naughty Dog really push boundaries with what they put in their games-there’s so many parts if this game that make you feel like you’re playing a blockbuster action movie, pretty spectacular
Great job assembling this video! You did a great job.
Thanks Moni. I appreciate it 🙏
It's my number one Uncharted game.
Nice Video mate
You speak for many! I had the great opportunity to finally play this game on PC and I was blown away. The best thing that happened to me this year and one of the best thing that happened to me in my whole life. Whenever I have a bad day I play this game I and feel better. True masterpiece!!
I have only now gotten to play this on PPC, and MY GOD even after 7 YEARS, this game is a mind-blowing piece of media, definitely Hall of fame and one of my favorite games I ever got to play.
Right next to Spider-Man, RDR2 and the likes.
Thank You, Naughty Dog for creating such a piece of ART!
Sic parvis magna!
I remember finishing Uncharted 4 for the first time... It truly was one of the best goodbyes ever. Not many games make me feel that way. It's up there with "Guns Of The Patriots," or "Red Dead Redemption II."
Uncharted 4 was one of the first game series I hooked onto after I was obsessed over the assassins creed series. I literally couldn’t put it down, entirely invested in the story and the beauty of the game itself. The score is gorgeous too.
Think when finals are over this quarter, I’ll have to play through it again.
I had never played in a console since ps2, and a friend o mine borrowed me his ps4 with this game. I had never played any uncharted game nor any ps4... I can't describe the shock i felt since the first minute of game. The graphics, the story, the gameplay... and when i ended prison part, fell on the water and the opening credits started i just couldnt help standing up, clapping and yelling out of emotion. Will never forget it
Whenever i hear uncharted theme song it makes me cry this game is a gem
great review
much love for who made this.
Highkey one of the best action tps out there, lowkey, one of the most romantic stories in videogames. Gotta love this masterpiece.
i realized what the pause elena did in the pirate dinner table meant man the emotion without saying a word. the game truly is a masterpiece.
Wish i could play this game for the first time once again... The most important game franchise in my life
My favorite part is when Elena pranked Nathan after an explosion..THAT part.. you'd never see that in any video game.. it added more to the humanity of the characters. All those scenes that were acted out in a very normal way.. (also the part where they had a bet on who'se gonna do the dishes over crash bandicoot).. These scenes work twice as much when you know the history of their relationship.. I am one of the million people who are very thankful of experiencing this masterpiece. :)
The best game of all time
The game awards owes Naughty Dog a GOTY for Uncharted 4.
I mean wtf is Overwatch :/
PREACH 😭😭
I jus finished the Uncharted 4 campaign for the first time. It was AMAZING
I'm not crying, you are😭
I’ve been a gamer for over 20 years and Uncharted 4 was the best end to a game series I’ve played to date. Simply wonderful from start to finish.
It's unbelievable
I remember a year or two ago I was chilling on the couch and was casually playing my PS4 and I checked the new games for free for PS PLUS and that’s when I saw uncharted 4. Right when I saw it I knew.. It was the game
What a world they created. And the soundtrack is so brilliant.
Got goosebumps from this video...
Sic Parvis Magna 🍻
My favourite games:Tlou series, unharted 4,battle field hardline, Rdr2 and Gow 2018
I also noticed that whenever Nate and Elena’s relationship is present, it plays the track “for better or worse”. when he liked to her, it was played at a lower pitch.
Hope it gets a 60 fps patch soon.
Your words echoed in my heart so loudly.
I'm 21 so when first three chapters were released, my 3rd grade friend introduced me to Uncharted universe. I didn't see the games myself because we were not allowed to play his PS3 when i visited him and his family. He talked and talked about Nate's undventures so eventually we started role playing them on a playground. We ran and jumped the slides all days through imagining it was the rocks and cars and temples, we gun fighted the imaginable bad guys, played with bottle caps like it was old Spanish coins, we had our Sic Parvis Magna ring. It was the happiest times of my childhood.
When part 4 came out in 2016, no one of us could afford the PS4, but i was introduced to youtube gaming segment at that time. Over the years i watched playthroughs of every part countless ammount of times. It seemed like i knew every line of every cinematic. It still fascinated me - characters development, graphics, music, humor. Over the time i learned English so i could enjoy the original voices, acting, jokes.
This story, this people.. i think they have been forming me through out my life. As a friend, as a woman, as a partner.
Yesterday i completed my very first videogame i played all by myself on my brand new PS4 the love of my life presented to me. I don't have to say it was Uncharted 4.
Neil is right. Some stories could only be told via video games. And this is the most precious thing humans have created in history of video games.
The years have passed so fast since I played it the first time
It was and still is a great game
I replayed this game like more than a dozen. 😳😳😳
Man I remember when I first played uncharted 4 for first time on new ps4 I was blowned.
Too bad the new movie coming out doesn't have the same feel. I just played the 4th game again. They're all really great games even the 3rd one which was my least favorite.
The only game I replayed around 7 times so far…
The soundtrack was awesome too
When I played uncharted 4 back 2017 i was so baffled by the story graphics basically everything. Every time I play it it's like the first time. It is truly a masterpiece, by the way i still play it to this day and i can't get enough of it😂
might have to play this again what an incredible game.
...a shout out to the Multiplayer too, very quietly a great game mode!
Fr the online was really fun too
I play this great game so many times
It is incredible. I replay it once or twice a year. It still looks and plays better than Anything.
I must say playing this game now on the Playstation 5 after having played all the others as well it is a masterpiece. After 3 games it is the last one that nails everything right. Not that Uncharted 2 was bad..far from it. 1 to 3 each had their hickups. But this game is a true mystery to be unsolved. The Pirate puzzle in the tower stands out for me. It was there i realized Rafe's role in all this. And what do you know..he calls right after you figure it out. I still got it man :).
This is how a true adventure/mystery game should be. It reminded me alot of the Broken Sword games. The platforming is rock solid or at least stable. The battle is excellent. The Ps-5 controllers make it a treat. The visuals are beautifull. A worthy end to a great series. The love shows in every aspect of the game. You can tell this was Naughty Dogs way of saying goodbye to the series and they did not dissapoint the fans in any way. Every Franchise should wish they can end a series as well as they did.
I went to Xbox two years ago because I could not get ahold of a PS5. I returned to PlayStation 3 weeks ago because I missed the Uncharted series and Bloodborne so much. I bought uncharted on a whim and I fell in love with the characters. They feel like real people and they change as the story arc progress throughout the games. I think it's a testament to Naughty Dog's craft as game designers and Nolan North's performance as Drake that these games are as popular as ever. If you want an excuse to buy a PS5, these games should be enough
I gotta say all uncharted games were great. I see alot of love for 2 but Uncharted 3 had some moments that truly blew me away. Like the ship graveyard and when the ship is sinking and you have to escape.
The pirate dinner table scene is my absolute favorite personally.
This game is a masterpiece because, even tho Nathan is very childish, this games writing is very adult, realistic and beautiful.
I felt so connected to these characters because they felt so.. real. The moment when Elena found out what Nathan is really doing. This calm ride through the jungle with Elena and this beautiful music. These were unforgettable Moments, that are stuck in my brain till now. And I will probably never forget them.
The characters, the story, the atmosphere.. Everything is so well made and beautiful.
The ending is perfect and so epic
Its truly a masterpiece and definitely in my top 3.
Much respect man!
I will never forget Naughty Dog.
and that's without mentioning the flashback with Evelyn, which was one of the most emotional scenes in games that I could remember.
I mean it so good I play the story 11 times and I am still.
You want to perhaps try something new when you replay this game is turn on SLO-MOTION especially for the huge action set piece when Nate is hanging onto the rope behind a vehicle for dear life :)
you never disappoint, thank you AP. CURTIS
I've recently purchased PS5, and it is my second console after PS2 so I've been avoiding any video on PlayStation exclusive game
The very first game I played and finished are GoW and Uncharted series, I'm really happy for these games! These are masterpiece!
U4 is really next level thrilling experience!!
I'm glad that I decided to wait for playing these games by myself, it was really hard to avoid spoilers.
The next I'll be playing is TLOU👍
Uncharted 4 is one of my most favorite games,
I will periodically be replaying these 4 games until I no longer feel the need to pick up a controller.
Still the most Beautiful, Magical, Captivating game I've ever had the opportunity to play. Uncharted story will always stick with me and made me appreciate a journal with drawings of my story
