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

Seriously? PS4 version of RoTR is barely 5 poinst behind Uncharted 4... But here's my opinion.

Uncharted 4 has that amazing cinematic story telling, chapter based gameplay throwing you to the past then to the future, amazing characters that you care about, it has that feeling where in the world are we going next...

Music, characters, cinematics plays a huge role. Puzzles like the Church bell were simple yet really satysfying, driving Jeep in big locations like Madagascar was really fun, and there was quite a few places you could miss.

There's both funny/happy things happening and sad/scary things happening.

In Uncharted 4 you really cared about Elena and your brother Sam and your friend Sully.

Graphics are also better in Uncharted but I don't think it's a main reason game is "generally" consired better.

One thing I liked about Uncharted 4 as well was lack of resource grinding, crafting and bullshit like that, also much less backtracking. 

I loved how they added stealth approach, you could not only kill enemies, but take them down non lethaly or even sneak by all of them (like in Scotland grave yard) It felt like Nathan was less of a serial killer than Lara, which is quite frankly sad.

It always felt exciting to go to a new country, however late in the game you spend quite a lot of time in the Jungle...

Can't wait for Story DLC, maybe they announce it on Playstation Experience.

 

That said Rise of the Tomb Raider is still an amazing game, just not as good in my opinion.

Actually, you have several non lethal attacks in RotTR and there's even bonuses for getting through an area without killing or even engaging the enemy.
