Uncharted is supposed to be a modern take on pulp fiction adventure novels. Criticizing something that's supposed to be cliche for being cliche is ... odd. It's like criticizing a sci-fi game for being sci-fi.
Personally, I have a really hard time trusting Platinum games. I want to like Automata (since the subject matter does not come from Platinum) but they have a history of poor games built around good combat. I disliked pretty much everything about Bayonetta except the actual combat mechanics.
It's a game I will probably buy when it's cheap.
