I bought this bundle specifically for Uncharted 4 and I was not disappointed. The system is easy enough to set up although setting up a sub account for my son seemed more complicated than it should have been but that may have just been me. The console operates smoothly and I have always been a fan of the PS controller over the Xbox. The graphics are incredible! So glad I upgraded to a PS4. I Love it!
As for Uncharted 4... words cannot describe. I just recently finished the game and I have to say that was probably the best experience I've had with a video game in a long while, if not forever! I really cannot describe the beauty of this game in a way that would do it justice. The level of detail that has gone into this game is beyond anything that I've seen so far. Each moment in the game could be a snapshot that I would have printed on canvas and hung in my home. It's not just that the graphics have captured so much but that they did so with an amazingly artistic eye. Every element of the game (story, action, scenery, music, etc.) comes together perfectly at every moment to have you feel exactly as you should. The characters have depth not just in their stories but in there body movements and facial expressions. The dialog isn't anything superior but it fits perfectly with this type of game. The story is fantastic, again nothing real deep or mind blowing but exactly appropriate for this type of game. The length of this game is decent. I would have liked it to be longer but that's just because I enjoyed playing it so dang much. You can rush thought it or really take your time to explore, find hidden treasures, or take screenshot after screenshot of each amazing view.
The game play is solid. The movement of the characters (all of them) were smooth. No one was jerky. I didn't have to spend several minutes lining my character up just right in order to perform a task. No side character was just walking around getting in my way when I was getting shot at. It was perfect. Really no complaints. Although some reviews have stated that there was too much climbing around and not enough action, I fully disagree. I thought there was a perfect blend of action, exploration, and puzzles. Again, each was given the appropriate time in order to give the player the experience of not just playing a character, but playing a story. And the transition of gameplay between those is seamless.
Something I really appreciate with this game also, is that is was completely appropriate for my children to either watch or play as well. It's difficult these days to find games that are fun, engaging, and challenging without having gratuitous violence, profanity, and sexual content to where I need to tell my kids to either leave the room or wait till late at night to be able to play. There is very mild language in this game and the violence is fun without being too gory or too childish. It's a lot like an Indiana Jones film (one of the good ones anyway).
I was quite impressed with the replay value as well. I would have expected to have completed the game and been done with it and tried to move on to another game only to feel underwhelmed after being spoiled with Uncharted 4. Not the case at all. Unlocking bonus features like "No Gravity", "Bullet Time", "Slow Motion" and a number of other game modifiers after completing the game has made playing it a second time around even more fun. My son really enjoys the "No Gravity" mod. Plus there are several treasures that I need to go back and find and looking at each beautiful scene will keep me coming back again.
This has become one of my favorites, if not THE favorite game of mine. The Naughty Dog team has put together a truly amazing game. The attention that has gone into this game is phenomenal. It's worth buying the PS4 just for this game in my opinion. So glad we got this bundle. You have to see it for yourself.
