Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End epitomizes the gap between cinematic ambition and gameplay depth for some critics, with linear climbing sections that largely play themselves. Naughty Dog's 2016 adventure sold 15 million copies by 2019, driven by Hollywood-quality set pieces and a mature story, but underneath the polish lies a fairly conventional third-person cover shooter, with many combat encounters funneling enemies into tight kill zones. The game's 95 Metacritic score strikes some critics as generous for a title whose interactive depth doesn't push far beyond earlier entries in the series.
