Definitely below Uncharted 4, but still a pretty good game overall. I liked that there was a bracelet you could get that tells you when there's a collectible nearby. I didn't 100% this game but if I ever do that would make it easier, and I'm sure it's helpful for people who do 100% the Uncharted games. Of course, I thought it was required and spent a bunch of time finding the amulets for it, but it was fun to do a little more stealth and combat even if it wasn't required to do. Not much to say about this game though being pretty much an average Uncharted game of running around and shooting people, but the stealth is just as good as in 4, and I could still use my precious Mettler M-30. I don't know why I like that gun so much but it's my go-to weapon unless I'm in the multiplayer. The grapple coming back from 4 was also a fun part of the stealth and climbing. The best part of this game though had to be the end sequence, which was by far the best of all the uncharted games.
The next paragraph is gonna be filled with SPOILERS. So turn back if you haven't finished the game and care about spoilers.
So about that end sequence... My god it's amazing. It was like the convoy chase in Uncharted 4 or the caravan chase in Uncharted 3, mixed with the train sequence in Uncharted 2. It has driving up next to the train, throwing guys off the road, blowing up cars, climbing across the train, being a bit stealthy and throwing more people off the train, until you finally reach the bomb. Everything up to this point was a whole lot of fun with a ton of great action and fun gameplay. But then, you can't diffuse the bomb. You can't loosen it from the straps holding it in place, you don't know what to do to stop the bad guy's plan. Then Nadine comes up with something and you're back off the train, driving past it instead of to the front, because the front is welded shut, and you need to throw more people off the road and go to a switch, to divert the train. (I know most of you reading this already have seen or played through this but I'm just ranting about all the great parts of it because it's just such a good end sequence) When you get there you have to kill some guys trying to stop you and you just barely are able to switch the track in time to divert the train. Then you drive back to the train (which is a bit shorter now after breaking one of the links towards the front, which is smart to do before you have to get back on but from the other side, because if the train was longer you would have to wait for the whole thing to pass by and then drive all the way up to the front again. Also it's a really cool part of the sequence as you're doing it. FINALLY The end, where to get back on the train you JUMP FROM A CLIFF IN THE CAR INTO THE SIDE OF THE TRAIN, and then the big bad guy shows up for the final battle. I like that you get to fight him a little earlier in the game just to get a feel for it, and then Chloe and Nadine are teaming up on him for this last chance to stop his plan. It really shows how tough this guy is when he's doing so well against both Chloe and Nadine, especially if you played Uncharted 4 and saw Nadine do the same with Sam and Nate. Oh yeah Sam is also in the game. He doesn't appear till the later end but I like him so it was a good addition to throw him in there. Also you get to see Nadine go from hating him to being kind of ok with him. Last but not least, the credit scene. No spoilers for this and it's only like 30 seconds into the credits, but it's a throwback to the very beginning of the game and it's a nice little moment with everything winded back down. The bad guy is dead and the city is safe. I think this was my longest review and the vast majority was just raving about the end sequence. Honestly this could've been on the level of 4, and the train sequence really brought it close, but the characters, as good as they are, aren't as good as Nate Sully and Elena. If Sully made so much as a cameo I would've been happy though.
