I see your point... but all UC were more or less like this on the platforming.

I couldn't beat Uncharted 4 on Youtube, however I rewatched Resi 4 and had a blast.

If TLG is trully epic, it might take it, but so far U4 is indeed my GOTY. Followed closely by DOOM There are a couple of smaller indie titles (This is not a game for example) that stood out for me, but when it comes to the whole package U4 takes the crown

Uhhh... I am just playing through UC1 and I hoped that the platforming would get better with its successors...

I watched all of the Uncharted 4 movie and my sentiment is the same. It's really boring and linear with cheesy lines that try to pass as comedy. It might have been on rails and nobody would've noticed.

My GOTY will be between Mirror's Edge which is a bit worse than I expected and WoFF which is a lot better than I expected.

So far, yeah it is my GOTY, I'll be honest I haven't played all that much this year, but then not much else has really inspired a purchase from me. Stardew Valley is my runner up and who knows if I go back and play it again it could take the title, I love that game so much and it completely took me by surprise.

3 games could possibly take the title away.

Civ 6, I held off as Beyond Earth wasn't that great at release and Civ games tend not to be at their best at launch. But I've been hearing so many great things I need to pick this up at some point.

Planet Coaster, this seems to be the management sim I've been dreaming of since I first played Theme Park on the SNES all them years ago.

Of course, there's also FFXV, which I appear to have pre-ordered. This will be the first FF I've bought with absolutely no expectations, hearing good things so hopefully it'll surprise me too.

I can only speak for the first game but I won't say the game isn't fun to play for me.

There is a lot of shooting right now which is basically waiting for someone to pop up, shoot, repeat. The climbing "action" is something you get used to in seconds and there is nothing to master at all.

It's the story that is somehow interesting while the acting is just... Yeah, either you like it or not. Nathan is a person that is designed to be sympathic to a lot of people, the game screams mainstream with everything it does.

That said, I am a huge Indiana Jones fan so I look forward to play the other 3 titles, too, but I'm afraid that from a gameplay point of view, it'll be the same.

Oh definitely Hands down Uncharted 4 though for me its the second best in the series, but by far the best gaming experience i had this year apart from Ratchet and Clank, only if R&C had multiplayer :(. Played Dark Souls 3 was ok and at the end i was just slogging through.. And I cant recall any other game which i had fun playing, sure Doom was good, but for me it repetitive, currently playing and alternating between dishourned 2 & RoTR but non of those are engaging enough to hold me down.

If the gameplay doesnt suck for FFXV and The last guardian, one of these might be the game that might be GOTY

Sorry, no chance in hell, Civ 6 takes that spot.

I played the demo of the first one, I played a bit of the Vita game, I watched all of UC4. It's always the same. Even in the latest game you will still find that pipe/ladder/ledge that will break when you climb on it every five minutes. From a gameplay perspective there is nothing worthwhile in the game.

It's just set pieces after set pieces that put spectacle over everything else. You could just run through the game without paying any attention to your surroundings and you would lose nothing from the experience.

But if you like the story and don't have to puke at their horrible conversations it could be a nice zen-like experience. You know, like watching a movie. A really really long movie.
