Not really a fair comparison. The two games are trying to do different things, so any faults in Uncharted 4 are kinda based on what the expectations of a cinematic action-adventure title should be and how it holds up against previous titles. Same with Nier: A, it will be judged on how well it stacks up to the standards of what makes a good action RPG, does it bring anything new, is there actual meat to the story, etc etc.

Uncharted 4 doesn't have any faults, tho.

I agree. At least in my eyes, it did not do anything wrong, with only having relatively weak/underdeveloped villains (not uncommon in the Uncharted franchise.) But still, it's just different games in different genres. Their scores reflect the improvements and their contributions to the genre. Uncharted 4 was fantastic, GOTY for me, but it was just another uncharted title. Nier looks to shake things up a bit, but I don't think that 94 will stay there for long.
