Which is nonsense and hyperbole. Uncharted 4 has great and varied gameplay and Telltale games have close to no gameplay at all. |
Uncharted 4's gameplay: Walking, climbing, jumping and talking, with some shooting in between... Oh, and sometimes you can drive a boat or a jeep. Super. Like i said, the game is fun, but great and varied gameplay?? Please...
And i don't think being simple is bad. Take Doom 2016 gameplay for example. All you do is run around shooting everything. But there's a complex system of varied enemies, different kinds of weapons and utilities, and a great sense of movement and speed to support the shooty shooty aspect. The game is great and it doesn't care too much about it's plot to keep it shoving everything down the player's throat, and in turn, compromise the gameplay with it. The main focus is giving control to everything you can do and let you run with it.
Uncharted 4 is all about telling a story, which is nice and fun, but the gameplay bits between each plot piece are just there to keep the whole thing together. They are not the main focus. So whenever you're shooting or climbing, that's all you're really doing, there's not much to it. The different types of enemies (i.e. Heavy armored, snipers, shotgunners) don't change your strategy that much, and whatever weapon you're holding is more than enough to finish the job (i finished the whole thing on hard and auto aim turned off, mind you). Though the game does open up near the end, and shootouts get bigger and give more room to the player, they're still so spaced between the climbing, jumping, talking and sometimes driving, that i cant really say that it redeems the game bloated pacing. The big setpieces like the car chase is fun to play and specially watch, but those comprise a small portion of the game to summarise the gameplay as a whole.
I did have fun with Uncharted 4. Recommend it to anyone who has a PS4 to play at least once. But great gameplay it has not.
