After the landmark success of The Last of Us and the unceremonious departure of Amy Hennig from the then untitled sequel to Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann came together once more to give Nathan Drake a sendoff into the next generation, a treasure hunting, swashbuckling magnum opus for PlayStation's headlining thief-turned-adventurer. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End deviates from the series overall tone by taking a more muted approach to Nate's smarmy humor with a story that revolves primarily around the relationships he's cultivated with his companions and Sam, his long-lost elder brother. The true conflict isn't between the brothers Drake and an innumerable army of faceless goons, it's between Nate's desire to live a life of adventure while trying to protect those he loves. It's always been the characters that make these games, and to see them take the centerstage next to the GPU-melting setpieces warms my Indiana Jones-revering heart. Always a blast to play. Patiently awaiting the next Drake adventure!
