PS4 Top 10 -- #3 Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

#3 Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

     The Uncharted series has established itself as one of the best, if not THE best, action adventure franchise out today. Many may wonder why Uncharted 4 isn't in this spot, as it was built from the ground up for the PS4, but 3 Uncharted games for less than the price of one new game? You'd have to be crazy to think 4 is better on its own. All 3 games in this collection deserve to be played. The first one, Drake's Fortune, is easily the weakest of the 3. It set the foundation for a great idea and the sequels that followed cemented its identity. All of the games follow Nathan Drake into crazy adventures that usually take him to some long lost forgotten city that shouldn't probably exist. They feature tons of exploration mixed with clever puzzle solving and fun gunplay. This collection somehow managed to make these older PS3 games look as if they were native PS4 titles with the exception of Drake's Fortune, which shows its age more clearly. I dare you to not do a double take at some of the in-game areas. They are absolutely gorgeous. The games feature incredible set pieces and the pacing of the stories is perfect from beginning to end. They are comparable to Indiana Jones films but are of course much longer. The writing is wonderful as are the casts of characters and their hilarious banter. By the end of the journey, I truly felt like the characters were some of my best friends. Lookin at you Sully! The collection not only upgraded the visuals but also improved each game's performance. The upgrade to a solid 60fps shows, and they even improved the aiming in Drake's Fortune, which felt off in its original release. This collection really is a must own for PS gamers. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves was my favorite game in the PS3's entire library. These games have become very important to me and will always hold a place in my gaming heart.
