Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End.

 

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
Developer: Naughty Dog.
Genre: Action-adventure, third-person-shooter.
Game mode: Single-player
My Rating: ★★★★★

Action-adventure games are truly the funnest to play. Especially Uncharted with Nathan Drake. Uncharted 4: A thief's end has a beautiful ending for the Nathan Drake series. However I think it's kinda sad that Naughty Dog won't make any Nathan Drake games anymore. They are mainly focused on "The last of us" series (which is also amazing!). The uncharted 4 is a beautiful ending of the uncharted series. In this game everything is much clearer about Nathan's past, why he has Drake as his last name, why he was an orphan, how the relation between him and Elena is going to be and many more. I hope Naughty dog will make more of these kinds of games. In the future I hope to play 'Uncharted: lost legacy', which is with Chloe and Nadine from the other uncharted series. That's ceretainly on my gaming list.

Storyline (contains spoilers):
The main character of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is Nathan "Nate" Drake, a veteran adventurer and explorer who, following the events of Uncharted 3 (Drake's Deception), has retired from fortune hunting alongside his wife Elena Fisher, a journalist, to a more normal life, and taken up employment with a salvage company in New Orleans. The game introduces Samuel "Sam" Drake, Nate's older brother, who was presumed dead. Drawn back into his old life of adventure by his brother, Nathan is aided by his long-term friend, fellow adventurer, mentor and father figure Victor "Sully" Sullivan. Their journey to find and recover the long-lost treasure of pirate Henry Avery brings them into conflict with wealthy and dangerous businessman and treasure hunter Rafe Adler, his partner Nadine Ross who runs the private mercenary group Shoreline, and drug lord Hector Alcazar. 

Several years before the events of the first game, Nate and Sam hunt for the treasure of pirate Henry Avery, who plundered a fortune during the 1695 Gunsway heist. Alongside Rafe, the Drake brothers infiltrate a panamanian jail to acces the former cell of Avery's first mate, where Nate discovers a hollow St. Dismas idol. When the prison warden who aided them demands a cut, Rafe impulsively kills him, triggering a frantic escape. Nate and Rafe successfully escape, but Sam is shot by guards, presumed dead.

Fifteen years later, following the events of the previous game, Nate has retired with his wife Elena but misses the excitement of his old life. He is visited by Sam, whi survived the gunshots and has spent the intervening time incarcerated. He explains that he escaped with drug lord Hector Alcazar, who demands that Sam find Avery's treasure or be killed. Nate agrees to help Sam, lying to Elena that he has accepted a salvaging job in Malaysia which he had actually refused. Aided by Sully, the Drakes steal a duplicate Dismas idol from an illigal auction in Italy, bringing them into conflict with mercenary boss Nadine Ross and her employer, Rafe, who is still searching for Avery's treasure. A map inside the idol leads the Drakes to St. Dismas' cathedral in the Scottish Highlands. There, they discover a hidden temple and a map highlighting King's Bay in Madagascar.

In King's Bay, the Drakes and Sully learn that Avery, Thomas Tew and ten other pirate captains pooled their treasures. Following clues to a tower in the city, Nate uncovers a map to Libertailia, a fabled pirate utopia founded by the other captains. The group returns to their hotel to find Elena waiting. Upset at Nate's deception and the appearance of Sam, whom Nate had never mentioned, Elena leaves. Nate sends Sully after her. The Drakes follow the map to an island and discover Libertalia. They find evidence of a civil war. The founders stole the city's treasure and moved it across the island to New Devon, an extravagant and well-fortified town built for them. The brothers are cornered by Rafe, who reveals that he released Sam from jail two years ago and that Sam's alcazar story is a lie, he actually double-crossed Rafe to resume the search with Nate. Deciding that he needs Sam, Rafe prepares to shoot Nate, Sam shields him, but Nate is knocked off a cliff and falls unconsious.

Elena rescues Nate, who reveals his past: as teenagers, he and Sam discovered that their mother a brilliant historian, was researching Libertalia. The boys after nearly being caught by cops due to breaking into the house of the person associated with their mother decided to start new lives, changing their surname to Drake to honor their mother's theory about Francis Drake's descendants. In New Devon, Nate and Elena learn that Libertalia descended into conflict over the treasure. Tew and Avery poisoned the other founders and absconded with the hoard, but Tew betrayed Avery.

The group rescues Sam and convinces him to escape with them, but soon decides to persue the treasure. Following Sam's trail, Nate finds Avery's treasure-laden ship in a cavern. Having collected a large amount of treasure, Nadine refuses to risk more of Avery's traps, but Rafe coerces her by bribing her men. Aboard the ship, Sam triggers a trap, starting a fire and pinning him beneath rubble. Nate confronts Rafe and Nadine in the ship hold, where the skeletons of Avery and Tew lie, having killed each other over the treasure. Nadine betrays Rafe and leaves him with Nate and Sam to die. Rafe challenges Nate to sword fight. Nate drops a bundle of treasure on Rafe, killing him, and frees Sam. The pair return ti Sully's plane, and the group escapes.

Sam and Sully team up for a new job while Nate and Elena return home. Elena explains that Sam recovered gold and gave it to her. Realizing that they both need adventure in their lives, she buys the salvage company for which Nate worked, installing Nate as the owner, and plans to revive her old exploration show. Years later, Nate and Elena have become succesful salvagers. After their teenage daughter Cassie discovers relics from their adventures, Nate decides to tell her their story.
