Graphics & Sound
Uncharted 4 is not only a great game for its pure technical muscle, which it does, but also by a meticulous art section and flowing with good taste, with full scenarios details that give us a landscapes of beauty, which is difficult, not to stop you every two three minutes to admire. The animations are subtle, something that Naughty Dog are masters, and we love their passion to the smallest details, what makes the difference between good and exceptional games. The game has a solidity and has already become a hallmark by presenting no load times, no graphics defects, and no major problems with 30 frames rate per second. In a smart move to have opted for 1080p and 30fps in the campaign, and 900p and 60 fps in multiplayer, so that gameplay never suffers.
The ravishing beauty of the scenarios are the interpretations of the characters, realism that becomes shocking, and sometimes convey more with facial expressions or body gestures with the words themselves. And all seamlessly integrated into the action, without any transition between cinematics and times when we control the character, so you can never let go of the control.
All this is accompanied with a purely perfect sound: from the effects due to the forcefulness with which sound of weapons and explosions, or sounds that acclimate the scenes, and exciting ochestra and an epic band, which makes the scenes of action to be even more spectacular, one of the best we’ve ever heard.
