Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4 is Naughty Dog's most visually stunning game and the perfect conclusion to Nathan Drake's story. The Madagascar chase sequence is the greatest set piece in action-adventure gaming, the rope mechanics add fluid verticality to exploration, and the emotional maturity of the story — Drake choosing between adventure and domesticity — gives the franchise a poignant ending it deserves. The multiplayer was criminally underrated. It proved that linear games can still deliver experiences that open worlds cannot.
