• Revolvers (e.g., Barok .44): Sidearm (High Damage)
  Powerful handguns dealing significant damage per shot, but with slower fire rates and smaller capacities.
• Long Guns (Assault Rifles, e.g., AK-47, FAL, Mettler M-30, HS39): Primary Firearm (Automatic/Burst)
  Versatile automatic or burst-fire rifles suitable for most combat encounters at medium range. Common enemy drops.

  Nate can engage in hand-to-hand combat with punches, grapples, and environmental takedowns. The grappling hook can also be used for aerial melee attacks.
• Explosives (Grenades, Dynamite, Propane Tanks): Throwable / Environmental
  Standard grenades and dynamite can be thrown. Red propane tanks or barrels in the environment can be shot to cause large explosions.

• Pistols & Revolvers: Sidearms

  Includes grenades, C4, and powerful weapons like grenade launchers for dealing with groups of enemies and vehicles.
• Combat Knife: Melee Weapon
  Lincoln's signature weapon, used for brutal and efficient stealth takedowns and visceral melee finishers.

• No Equipable Armor System: Nathan Drake does not have an equipable armor system where players can find or upgrade different pieces of armor for stat boosts. His survivability is based on his health (which regenerates when out of combat) and player skill in using cover, dodging, and defeating enemies efficiently. There are no armor items to collect or equip.
• Cosmetic Outfits (Multiplayer & Bonus Content): In the original PS4 multiplayer mode, and as unlockable bonus content for the single-player campaign (often after first completion or via special editions), various cosmetic outfits for Nathan Drake and other characters were available. These were purely visual and did not offer gameplay advantages.

• Nathan Drake's Outfits: Throughout the story, Nathan Drake wears several distinct outfits appropriate to the location and situation (e.g., casual wear at home, rugged adventure gear in Madagascar, diving suit, formal attire for an auction). These are generally fixed for specific chapters. Unlockable cosmetic outfits are available after completing the game or through special editions/Legacy of Thieves Collection, allowing players to replay chapters with different looks (e.g., classic Drake outfits, wetsuits).
• Multiplayer Character Customization (Original PS4): The original PS4 multiplayer mode allowed extensive customization of playable characters (heroes and villains from the Uncharted series) with hundreds of unlockable clothing items (hats, shirts, pants, accessories) and taunts.

Uncharted 4 does not feature a traditional RPG skill tree or extensive character stat upgrades for Nathan Drake. Progression is primarily through acquiring new weapons and gear found in levels or dropped by enemies. There are no craftable upgrades for Nate's personal abilities. Gameplay mastery comes from improving player skill in combat, stealth, platforming, and puzzle-solving. Some weapon 'upgrades' are simply finding more powerful versions or attachments. The grappling hook is a key new tool that enhances traversal and combat options.

Lincoln's skills improve through gameplay. As he takes over rackets and assigns them to his three underbosses (Vito, Cassandra, and Burke), he unlocks new perks and upgrades. These include increased health and stamina, improved weapon handling, and unique abilities like calling in enforcers, cutting phone lines to prevent police reinforcements, or having a car delivered on demand.

The open world of New Bordeaux is comprised of nine unique districts, each with its own distinct culture, population, and criminal rackets. These range from the swampy Bayou Fantom and the industrial Tickfaw Harbor to the affluent Frisco Fields and the bustling French Ward.

Available in Standard Edition, Special Edition (SteelBook, artbook, Naughty Dog points), Libertalia Collector's Edition (12" Nathan Drake statue, SteelBook, artbook, Naughty Dog points, sticker sheet, multiplayer outfits/weapon skins). Later released as part of the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' for PS5 and PC, which also includes 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy' and features enhanced graphics and performance options.

The primary post-launch content was the standalone story expansion 'Uncharted: The Lost Legacy' (starring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross), which was also included in the 'Legacy of Thieves Collection'. The original PS4 version of Uncharted 4 received numerous free updates for its multiplayer mode, including new maps, modes, weapons, and cosmetic items. No single-player story DLC directly for Nathan Drake's Uncharted 4 story was released.

All post-launch content is included in the Definitive Edition. The three story expansions are: 'Faster, Baby!' (a story focused on high-speed car chases and stunts in a new rural town), 'Stones Unturned' (a global spy-thriller adventure with CIA agent John Donovan), and 'Sign of the Times' (a dark, horror-themed investigation into a violent cult).

• Q: Is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End the last Uncharted game with Nathan Drake?
  A: Yes, Naughty Dog has stated that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the conclusion to Nathan Drake's story arc. While the Uncharted universe continued with 'The Lost Legacy' (starring Chloe Frazer), Drake's journey as the protagonist effectively ends here.
• Q: Do I need to play the previous Uncharted games to understand Uncharted 4?
  A: While Uncharted 4 has a self-contained main plot, playing the previous three games (Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves, Drake's Deception) is highly recommended. It significantly enhances the emotional weight of the story, the understanding of character relationships (especially with Elena and Sully), and the impact of Nathan Drake's final adventure.
• Q: What is new in terms of gameplay in Uncharted 4 compared to previous titles?
  A: Uncharted 4 introduced several new gameplay mechanics, including a grappling hook for enhanced traversal and combat, more open 'wide-linear' level designs with drivable vehicles (jeep, boat), improved stealth mechanics with tall grass and enemy tagging, and more dynamic melee combat with environmental interactions.
• Q: Does the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' include multiplayer?
  A: No, the 'Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection' for PS5 and PC includes the single-player campaigns of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy only. The multiplayer modes from the original PS4 releases are not included in this collection.
• Q: How long is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End?
  A: The main story campaign of Uncharted 4 typically takes around 15-20 hours to complete. Finding all collectibles and exploring thoroughly can extend this to 25-30+ hours.

• Q: What is included in the Mafia III: Definitive Edition?
  A: It includes the full base game plus all three of its story DLCs ('Faster, Baby!', 'Stones Unturned', and 'Sign of the Times') and all bonus content packs.

  A: Yes. While it features a new protagonist and setting, Vito Scaletta, the protagonist of Mafia II, plays a major supporting role as one of Lincoln's underbosses.
• Q: How does the open world work?
  A: The open world of New Bordeaux is the setting for the story. The main gameplay loop involves taking over the city's nine districts one by one by dismantling the criminal rackets within them. Outside of this structure, players can freely explore the city.
• Q: What is the tone of the game?
  A: Mafia III is known for its serious and mature tone. It is a dark revenge story that directly confronts the racism and social upheaval of the 1960s American South.

Powered by Naughty Dog's proprietary engine, Uncharted 4 is renowned for its groundbreaking visuals, especially at the time of its PS4 release. It features incredibly detailed character models with realistic animations and facial expressions, breathtaking and diverse environments, advanced lighting and shadow effects, and spectacular cinematic set pieces. The level of environmental detail, from foliage and water effects to material textures, is exceptional. The PS5 and PC versions in the 'Legacy of Thieves Collection' offer enhanced resolutions, frame rates, and graphical settings.

Original score composed by Henry Jackman, featuring sweeping orchestral themes, adventurous melodies, and emotionally resonant pieces that underscore the narrative's highs and lows. The music dynamically adapts to gameplay, building tension during combat and enhancing the sense of wonder during exploration. Sound design is top-notch, with impactful weapon sounds, detailed environmental ambiances, and stellar voice acting.

The game is widely praised for its exceptional licensed soundtrack, featuring over 100 iconic songs from the 1960s, including tracks by Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, and Johnny Cash. The music is delivered through multiple in-game radio stations.

Features a minimalistic and cinematic HUD, displaying ammo count, equipped weapon, and contextual prompts for interactions, stealth, and combat. A simple objective marker guides players. No traditional mini-map during gameplay to enhance immersion; players rely on environmental cues and Nate's journal. The journal contains sketches, notes, and puzzle solutions.

Features a standard third-person shooter UI with a mini-map, health and armor indicators, and an ammo count. The world map is used for navigation and tracking racket objectives. The story is presented through a unique documentary format, framing the gameplay as a retrospective investigation.

Naughty Dog has been a leader in accessibility. Uncharted 4 (especially in the Legacy of Thieves Collection) offers a wide array of options: extensive control remapping, subtitle and caption customization (size, color, background, speaker names), options for motion blur/camera shake, aim assist lock-on, options for QTEs (hold vs. tap), high contrast modes, audio cues for collectibles and combat, navigation assistance, and more.
