Irresistible for fans of classic adventures. Uncharted 4 was so much fun, I have to talk about it.

I was completely immersed in games for the first time in a while.

Last time"If you're tired of work, life, and everything else, this is how to take a 'break' to instantly regain your motivation."It's the game-addict therapy from that article lol. Because I've become quite tired.

Long live escapism.

So, what I wanted to play this time was "Uncharted 4".

I've wanted to play it for a long, long time, you know.

Unchartedis such a famous title that I don't think there are (that many) people who play games who don't know it.

To briefly explain the overview, it's a story about Nathan Drake, a 'treasure hunter,' adventuring around the world in search of treasure.

This time's treasure is the riches hidden by legendary pirates. The subtitle is also Pirate King and the Last Treasure.

As for the setting, it's extremely classic. A setting you could find anywhere.

From its story and world view, at the time of its release, it was the kind of content that seemed 'like it could be found anywhere,' to the extent it was called a B-movie.

A classic action game that heightened thrill and immersion to their peak.

As for the game's play feel, the thrill and immersion are unparalleled, to the extent that you feel like you're playing an 'action movie'.

You escape from buildings, get chased by enemies, and get involved in many troubles, but during that time, the player must execute the optimal action with good timing according to the situation.

That sense of realism and thrill,Uncharted 4plays a sufficient role in immersing you in the world of.

I,Uncharted 4I also like subsequent Tomb Raider series, but if you like Tomb Raider's action and story, you'll definitely get hooked.

Uncharted 4Well, it seems it was sometimes called a rip-off of Tomb Raider, but if more games of this type appear, I'm all for it.

I even searched for 'games like Tomb Raider' to find out.

How difficult is the game?

By the way, the difficulty is moderately high.

For action game beginners, it might be quite difficult.

I think it's a difficulty level that people who like action games to some extent or are good at them can just enjoy.

Even in regular gunfights and other combat, you need strategy to figure out how to win. If you think and fight well, you can win quite easily, but if you try to force a frontal assault or brute force your way through, you'll die quickly.

I prefer a difficulty level where even regular combat requires a proper strategic approach.

By the way, even if you die, you can restart right from before, so don't worry.

You won't often experience that feeling of 'Ugh, I have to start over from the previous spot again!'

It really starts right from before you got game over, so you can fail without stress. (laughs)

A classic story, yet one that encourages empathy and emotional immersion. The story was also quite good.

Also,Uncharted 4The story is also quite good.

Whether it's marital troubles or sibling bonds, it touches on emotions we also feel in everyday life. However, these common emotions unfold on a grand scale. (laughs)

Well, speaking of couples and siblings, it's a classic story theme. The world-building and setting are classic, and the story also follows a quite classic path, but I felt it was a 'high-quality classic'.

Initially, the Uncharted series was called a B-movie, perhaps because the storytelling in this area was of B-grade quality.

By the time it reached the 4th installment, I personally think it had become quite elaborate.

In terms of content, the 3rd installment was also quite good.

Even after reaching the ending, there are quite a few replayability elements.

Additionally, as a completionist element, you can collect notes and treasures scattered around the world. Besides the treasures you're trying to find in the main story, there are many other treasures, and hints to unravel history are scattered everywhere.

It's a completionist element that cleverly captures the hearts of collectors, and a vast number of them are prepared.

If you seriously try to collect everything, I think you can play for a considerable amount of time.

If you just want to clear it, it's about 20 hours, I guess.

Once you reach the ending, you can restart the game by chapter.

It visualizes how many treasures there are per chapter and how many note-taking events there are, so you can play the same chapter as many times as you want later.

In previous games, to clear all the completionist elements, you'd have to 'do everything from the beginning again,' but it's become a kinder world.

I'm currently treasure hunting after the ending, and it's surprisingly not getting old. I thought I'd get bored quickly, but finding a few treasures during work breaks is a nice change of pace.

Speaking of completionist elements, as you find treasures, you get points, and content is also prepared where you can unlock various elements that are initially hidden, so people who like that might enjoy it.

Also, I've only played a little, but there's also multiplayer, and I wonder if you can play with various people online? I haven't quite grasped what it is yet, so I'll add an update later (if I haven't gotten bored).

Summary

So,Uncharted 4it was overall fun.

Actually, classic tropes and B-movies tend to resonate with most people.

In other words, most Hollywood hit movies follow classic tropes, and the reason they can be enjoyed despite having familiar settings and stories, I think, largely comes down to the elaborate direction and the coolness of the characters.

Not just quirky stories, but even with existing worldviews, depending on the direction and characters, it can become a first-class work.

Uncharted 4Not only that, but the entire Uncharted series is packed with the charms and elements I've talked about this time.

Basically, if you play the previous works, the next installment becomes more enjoyable, so please try playing from the first game.

On PlayStation 4,Uncharted Collectiona package containing all the past works has also been released,Uncharted Collectionand,Uncharted 4We recommend buying in bulk.

As I write this article, the year-end and New Year holidays and Christmas are just around the corner, so how about spending your year-end and New Year break immersed in Uncharted? lol
