Uncharted 4: 20 Amazing Moments

10. Nate & Elena On The Elevator

Chapter 17 (For Better or Worse) sees Elena discover Nate unconscious, and after accepting that he simply wants to save his brother rather than claim the treasure, she agrees to help him.

Cue the pair fighting and climbing their way across the island, leading to the game's most meditative and tranquil moment after the two get an elevator working. They both stare out at the gorgeous view of Libertalia emerging before them, and briefly discuss why Elena decided to come back to help Nate. Nate then stares out for an added beat, pondering her words, before we get back to business.

It may be just a brief moment of a 12-16 hour game, but it's superbly subtle and well-executed for a game that's so often so bombastic.
