Any a you punks been playing Uncharted 4? - Sacred Jellybean - 11th June 2016
I had heard this game get hyped for weeks on Polygon and the like. I finally got a chance to play it, when friend of mine from work practically pushed it into my hands, saying "PLAY THIS FUCKING GAME". I have to agree. Play this fucking game, indeed. It's like the Indiana Jones of games: an adventure of treasure hunting and fighting goons from your rivals. There's stealth, action, puzzles, and a whole lot of climbing around. My buddy was so engrossed that he beat it within a week.
The game's beginning chapter is half cinematic, half gameplay of the protagonist, Nathan Drake, sneaking around a boarding school with his big brother Sam. It shows you the mechanics of climbing, jumping from roof-top to roof-top, sneaking past teachers, and so on. It's a nice introduction of all the controls, along with the setup of the story and characters. The game is heavy on the cinematics, which I don't always love. Stories in video games are little more than a means to an end, even in strong cases like Last Of Us. But the story is above average and the graphics are so gorgeous, the facial animations so well done, I don't mind at all sitting through a little drama.
The cutscenes and gameplay work seamlessly together, and the action is top-notch throughout each of them. The puzzles are easy to medium so far. God DAMN that clock tower was fun to play, best time I've had in one since Mario 64.
Go play it if you have a PS4. This game beats the shit out of Metal Gear Solid V, which I got bored of in just a couple weeks.

That description of your's applies to every game in the series. You should try them out.
It's a good series, even if it is about as linear as these cinematic style games can get.

I was thinking that, but then I thought, maybe going backwards won't be so easy. This game is so gorgeous, it might be hard to revert to a last-gen system. Plus, I don't have a PS3. I fulfilled that generation with an X-Box 360, and I just can't see myself getting another system with the same specs. Maybe some day.

You're in luck! There's a PS4 remaster collection of the first three Uncharted games called "The Nathan Drake Collection". Go for that one.
