The commercialization and exploitation of this game made it basically unplayable for me. I’m hoping they won’t do the same with Uncharted since I’ve yet to play the last sequel.

Uncharted is slop for the masses as-is lol. Fun games but nothing to them beyond superficial pleasure.

I think that describes over 95% of video games!

If you’re playing a game looking for super deep meaning, you won’t find many.

I also disagree with your point, uncharted 4 had a whole storyline about two orphans helping each other survive, it’s actually a beautiful story. There’s messed up parents, betrayal, spousal drama, and an entire storyline dedicated to pirates… being pirates.

If anything it’s one of the games that disagrees with your point entirely!

Uncharted 4 was barely a game tho

Most good games have an art to their gameplay and storytelling. Uncharted 4 was a movie on rails.

It was very frustrating to play, I bought my PS4 bundled with it and I didn't enjoy the game at all. Generally all the Uncharted games are on rails but Uncharted 4 was ridiculous. I think I died by running in the wrong direction.

Generally naughty dog's games follow the same basic formula and are on rails. Uncharted 2 was the best game of the bunch. Though last boss was tedious, especially on the harder difficulties. TLOU had better stealth / combat IMO than Uncharted. But the game was pretty tedious in places, especially if you had heard the convos, plot points before.

I think most of these games are meant to be played maybe once by a more casual audience.

I feel the need to defend myself: I also beat Elden Ring and the expansion boss. Lvl 155 for the main game and scadu 18 for the xpack boss, no summons!

I just like a variety of games I guess. Playing the Indiana jones one now. The FPV is a touch obnoxious but I’m working past it.
