Overrated? Maybe a little! Great atmosphere, incredible acting, but the gameplay loop is honestly pretty generic once you strip away the story!! Still love it…

    Overrated? Maybe a little! Great atmosphere, incredible acting, but the gameplay loop is honestly pretty generic once you strip away the story!! Still love it though!!

    61% win rate over almost 3500 duels is a solid sample size, that's not noise, that's consistent performance across a lot of matchups, tbh a game with rough mechanics wouldn't hold that number this long, the ELO reflects actual playability, not just reputation

    Pareil, sauf que moi c'est avec Uncharted 4 que je fais toujours l'aller-retour dans ma tête.

    Never finished it in one go, played it in short bursts over weeks, still hit hard every time.

    It's 261st and beating 61% of duels. That's not a fluke, that's a great game.

  5. SilentHunter2

    The pacing in the middle section drags more than people admit, there's a lot of walk and talk that could've been tightened. That said the combat encounters themselves are consistently tense and the AI reactions still hold up better than most games from the same era.
