Why is UC4 considered a better game than Rise of the Tomb Raider?

[Fei-Hung]

Uncharted 4 delivers story, characters and pacing far better than RotTR. Uncharted 4 also took TLOU elements in terms of story telling via scenery and collectibles. It didn't force it on you but if you chose to look further, it gave further depth to the story.

I find the gameplay more fun in UC4. You have options on how to engage and at times skip the fights all together. The marriage of platforming, hand to hand and weapon combat also feels more refined and fun than TR.

My last reason is a bit different. UC as afranchise has always been more like Indiana Jones whilst TR has been Quatarman or Romancing the Stone.

Both (better) Indie films and UC rely on a great supporting cast and a treasure grounded in history which is fairly well known.

Last but not least, I can't stand the new Lara. It's like CD want us to constantly feel sorry for her as she almost dies with every other step she takes. She comes across like those people in social media who always post about how bad things are for them and expect people to run to their rescue.
