Play as Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer in their own standalone adventures as they confront their pasts and forge their own legacies. This game includes the critically acclaimed single-player stories from both UNCHARTED 4: A Thief’s End and UNCHARTED: The Lost Legacy.
Players can navigate the beautifully crafted environments, utilizing a variety of parkour-inspired movements to climb, jump, and grapple their way through each level. The introduction of the grappling hook in Uncharted 4 allows players to swing across gaps and access previously unreachable areas, adding an extra layer of dynamism to the traversal.
The gameplay seamlessly blends action-packed combat sequences with the option to approach encounters stealthily. Players can engage enemies head-on with a variety of firearms and melee attacks, or utilize the environment and shadows to silently take down foes without detection. The responsive controls and satisfying gunplay make the combat encounters thrilling and engaging.
Interspersed throughout the levels are a series of puzzles that challenge players to utilize their observational skills and problem-solving abilities. These puzzles range from deciphering ancient clues to manipulating the environment to progress. Solving these puzzles rewards players with a sense of accomplishment and the discovery of hidden treasures and additional narrative details.
The games seamlessly integrate cinematic storytelling and gameplay, immersing players in dramatic set-pieces and pulse-pounding chases that blend seamlessly with the core gameplay mechanics. This creates a cinematic experience that feels more akin to a blockbuster action movie than a traditional video game.
While the games maintain a strong narrative focus, they also offer players a degree of choice in how they approach certain situations. Whether it's choosing to engage in combat or opt for a stealthier approach, or deciding which paths to explore, the gameplay allows for a level of player agency that enhances the overall experience.
