I've always had a fondness for the Uncharted games, but they've never been my favorites. While the storytelling is always fun and the gunplay snappy, there was never anything about them that made them really stand out to me.

Uncharted 4 changed that. By introducing new mechanics (the grappling hook, team takedowns, the climbing piton, Zelda-style overworld missions) and crafting an engaging story that delves deeper into Drake's ambitions and flaws than any other title, Uncharted 4 soars above its predecessors and finishes the franchise(?) on a high note.
