Summary

A 400-year-old clue in the coffin of Sir Francis Drake sets a modern-day fortune hunter on an exploration for the fabled treasure of El Dorado, leading to the discovery of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The search turns deadly when Nathan Drake becomes stranded on the island and hunted by mercenaries. Outnumbered and outgunned, Drake and his companions must fight to survive as they begin to unravel the terrible secrets hidden on the Island.

It was okay I didn't like the atmosphere and it made me literally so anxious that I had to take breaks while playing

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is one of the most repetitive and boring games I have ever played. There were gunfights after gunfights and the puzzles were to easy. The only fun part of the game was at the end and that wasn't even much fun. Although it kept you on edge the whole time, it also felt repetitive because the creatures just kept on spawning randomly. The ending was not very good because the gun fights felt repetitive again and you just defeated the boss so easily. Story felt very mixed up.

Story is bad and meaningless/forgettable.
Gameplay is a cycle of shooting an enemy 20 times in the head,get treasure that is*surprise surprise*A TRAP!and then come back the same way you came.
Uncharted is garbage.

I am a huge fan of the Uncharted series, but even I have to admit the first attempt was a shaky one at best.

Visuals and gameplay today are rather aged; the entire game is set on a singular island that doesn't provide the needed variety, but the last few chapters do introduce a new enemy type that forces you to change up the gameplay from aged cover shooter mechanics to a hectic run and gun, which I did enjoy.

The soundtrack, story, characters, and acting are definitely still a highlight; it introduced one of the PlayStation's most iconic characters, Nathan Drake, which is what mostly this game does; it sets up the potential that will only be realized with its sequel and finalized with the 4th entry, which is what I give this game the most credit for. The cast of supporting characters is great; Elena and Sully are endearing, and Eddy is hilarious, but the main villains are underutilized and could use more development.

The gameplay is just a standard third-person shooter with simplistic melee; you are mostly encouraged to hide behind walls to stay alive and shoot anyone that pops up. Parkour is also simple, and at times it's hard to figure out where you are supposed to go. Puzzles are not memorable and just easy, with the protagonist's notepad just giving away the answer right away. Collectibles are plentiful but sadly are just small, interesting models with no story relevancy or at least some fun commentary from Nathan; it just floats, and that's it. Set pieces are fun, though pretty contained compared to what will come with sequels, but are nice to have; not the jetski one, though; frustrating that one.

To sum up, It's still worth trying it out to see where and how it started, but alone it's just a good adventure to go through in two or three evenings; it could use a remake, though.

A very strong first entry in probably my favorite franchise from Naughty Dog. While the gameplay can be a bit repetitive, the story is fun and engaging and the following entries are even better than this.
