Uncharted Collection PlayStation Hits (PS4)

With the exception of I think the PSP game that was released some time ago, I think I’ve pretty much played every single game in this franchise - including the newer ‘Lost Legacy’ game which is a spin off including characters from previous instalments. So, to make a long point short, I’ve played these games in the original format and I can see the impressive changes.To someone who has only ever played the current Generation of PlayStation, (PS4) You won’t probably notice how much richer and denser the jungles are, how more vivid and deep the textures are and how much more refined the character’s expressions are.I read other reviews in the past on various sites where people lamented their frustration that the remaster hasn’t included an ‘auto-aim’ feature at all. To be frank, if you put in an auto-aim into this game, you’d breeze by every single aspect of the game even in the expert mode. Free-aim is a frustrating thing to try and master after having been spoon fed by every gaming company with an auto-aim on firing, but it’s a fun challenge to try and get headshots.One thing that may frustrate some players new to this franchise is that the enemies aren’t always obvious in scenes, dynamic set pieces and plenty of things to take cover behind mean you’ll spend a lot of time in cover trying to figure out where gunfire is coming from, and this can be another fun challenge as you can’t just go into an eagle eye mode to try and highlight where the enemies are. Enemies wear muted colours and at times seem to blend with the terrain so gun battles can be tricky and a case of you having to use your wits to find where they’re hiding.The puzzles can be frustrating, but enjoyable, if you take time and constantly reference Nate’s journal, you’ll always find solutions if you look hard enough.The best part about the series is that you really feel like you’re in an interactive action movie, there are some great chase and shoot sequences in the games (especially the latter two) that will have your adrenaline pumping.The character of Nate is one that is lovably enjoyable to keep revisiting in the series. He’s a modern Indiana Jones without the education and good intentions - a treasure hunter out for gain, he’s relatable as an ordinary guy who isn’t the kind of action hero you’re used to as he bumbles his way through jungles and ruins, tripping and falling, and causing destruction wherever he goes. When paired with other characters in the franchise, Nate is absolutely at his best and the dialogue while going from scene to scene definitely helps keep you entertained.Other things worth mentioning? Naughty Dog have finally added photo mode to the older games so you can play about with taking pictures of the beautiful dynamic sets they’ve created. While you won’t get the stunning graphics of Uncharted 4, you will still find the sets beautiful and well designed, mysterious and eye wateringly sharp.If you’ve never played this before, I should mention one of my favourite features is that dying via a fall or being killed by shot, etc, doesn’t require you replaying massive chapters over to get to the same point you were at, the game has constant checkpoints every few mins so you aren’t running across an entire level having to replay and re-kill enemies you’ve already killed, this way you can keep moving forward rather than feel you’re constantly going back.If I think of anything else to add, I will. So far though, for this fantastic price, I can’t fault the set. I paid less than the price of one discount game for three games...how can I argue that? Especially with the hours of gameplay and replayability I know I’ll have (this is about my eighth playthrough on the first game alone). I definitely recommend buying this.

If you love Indiana Jones movies and Tomb Riaider you will enjoy the Uncharted games immensely.Fabulous collection of brilliant games at a great price delivered in perfect condition.Highly recommended.

Variation

I downloaded the games when they were free during lockdown, and loved them so much I had to get the rest/have a physical copy.Really fun, challenging, exciting and with a great sense of humour. I really enjoyed them.A bit Tomb Raider with a cockier protagonist.

When the originals came out I loved these games, they all had pretty good story lines, fun characters and gameplay. Now they've remastered and released as a package deal I couldn't wait to play them again.Obviously time has marched on since the first Uncharted came out, the graphics and game mechanics leave a lot to be desired, but as a trip down memory lane it's still fun.Unfortunately the game crashed near the end and the save was corrupted, had to start from the beginning again!And this seemed to set the tone for the second game too, slightly better graphically than the first, but still buggy and again crashed towards the end with a corrupted save file.The third game was much better, still looks quite decent and played really well, I found myself sucked into the compelling story line and genuinely enjoyed playing it through.

Played these games previously on the PS3 years ago. I don't really care for the first one that much. The combat is frustrating and repetitive. UC2 is so much better, it's one of the most thrilling games I've ever played. The third game is good too, but not quite on the level of the second and it felt tougher to beat. Overall, even though I wasn't mad on the first, it's still two great games for the price of one.

Fantastic game, I highly recommend buying it.

These games are really good, even all these years later.Definitely recommend buying!
