Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

I was never really the biggest fan of Uncharted until I played the fourth game, which was incredible. Four months later, I decided to get the Nathan Drake Collection for about $20 at Walmart, and I loved these games. Not only are they FUN, but they also have a very compelling story. It proves that games can be more than just first-person shoot-em-ups. Long story short, get the games. They are superbly fun!

It's nice to see the franchise, not only evolve as you go from Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 3, but also maturing along with its characters and writing.

That being said, Naughty Dog's game design really sucked back then, huh?

To start things off before I go into full review the Uncharted Series is an unforgettable childhood I had on the PS3. Eversince, I played Drake's Fortune as a 9 year old kid I was playing the most cinematic game I ever played in my entire life. Then years later I played the sequels and now I've completed it after 4. Now Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is a nostalgia trip of that Modern Day Indiana Jones Character Nathan Drake.

Graphics/60FPS: The Uncharted: Nathan Drake Collection has the old style of the original games with better modded textures that add more detail to the original games environment. It's 60 FPS work is beautiful on PS4 and makes the most memorable moments in the series feel like a real flowing cinematography.

Story/Characters: This Game is for both old fans like me and those who are new to the series. Uncharted Drakes Forturne has the best introduction to the series, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has its moments of twists and turns including betrayal, and Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception shows our Hero Nathan Drake at a desperate attempt to find the last thing his ancestor has discovered. The characters are witty, humorous, dynamic, and three dimensional in every way from writing to voice acting.

9/10 A great remastered action game with memorable moments.

Uncharted has become a fan-darling for good reason: because the games themselves have fantastic gameplay, stories and characters that leave a good chunk of Hollywood's modern film rosters to shame; Nathan Drake is like the spiritual son of Indiana Jones, Elena Fisher is like the Marion Ravenwood, and Victor 'Sully' Sullivan is like if Sean Connery evoked modern day Robert De Niro with touches of Al Pacino and Sam Rockwell (at least to me personally). The synergy of the games is also like the original Indiana Jones Trilogy too; the pacing and character chemistry is like a great Hollywood film where they care about their interactions 110%.

This collection, to top off the already great games that they were on the PS3, rebuilds them as consistent 60-fps experiences running at a photo-genetically-gorgeous 1080p. This collection, alongside Uncharted 4, are MUST-PLAYS for any devoted gaming (or PlayStation) aficionados out there. Simply put: a beautiful compilation for a fantastic franchise that's been around since good ol' 2007.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is worth EVERY cent/penny/subscription-discount you can get your hands on, and it's a PlayStation PILLAR.

This collection is a 5/5 star achievement.

I have never played a uncharted game before. But now I understand why the games are so hyped there amazing. If you have ps4 and haven't played unc 1 2 and 3 buy it now.
