Uncharted 4: 11 Things We Hated
4. Overly Familiar Set-Pieces
Outrageously entertaining though the game's various action and suspense sequences are, there are definitely a few moments that feel more than a little familiar from previous games.
Take Nate and Sam's heist in Italy: isn't it ridiculously similar to Nate and Harry Flynn's opening caper in Uncharted 2? The stealth, the vertical level design and so on.
That's just one example of several: mad escapes from burning buildings, the opening boat scene (possibly an intentional homage to the opening of Drake's Fortune), and the inevitable "flee towards the screen from a background attacker" sequence that goes all the way back to the Crash Bandicoot franchise.
Again, none of this crosses the line of being dispiritingly lazy or anything, but it's underwhelming that several sequences felt a little copy-pasted from prior successes.
