Ranking Every Naughty Dog Game From Worst To Best

7. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

Easily the best-looking Uncharted of them all, A Thief's End is a genuine jaw-dropper from beginning to end, but especially once you start getting to explore an small archipelago of islands in the chapter, At Sea.

Plot-wise, Naughty Dog weave a phenomenally fourth wall-acknowledging tale of Drake growing older and settling down - yet forever reminiscing on the days of the original trilogy's stories. It results in a brilliant meld of our own memories as gamers being twinned with Nate's, and though the story plays the "He had a secret relative all along!" card in brother Sam, the level of heart present throughout is outstanding and emotionally affecting.

Uncharted 4 would be the best of them all if not for an over-extended back half, as it truly has the finest combat Naughty Dog have ever designed. From top to bottom it's highly recommended, but if you grew up with Nate, Sully, Elena and the gang, there's something extra special that no other franchise has ever produced.
