Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End has been picking up stellar reviews from critics since the embargo lifted yesterday morning, but it’s also attracted some words of praise from the Microsoft camp: namely, Quantum Break’s PR guru, Thomas Puha.
Writing on Twitter, Puha revealed that he’s clocked up nearly 20 hours on the hotly anticipated PlayStation 4-exclusive sequel, and had some very encouraging words to share about the game with his followers.
We’ve embedded his Tweets below for your viewing pleasure.
Took 19 hours 38 minutes to complete #Uncharted4 I’d say its the best game in the series.

The opening chapters are divisive as has been said, so much setup, but once the game gets going, its incredible. #Uncharted4@Naughty_Dog

In the credits of #Uncharted4 there is 28 or 27 animators credited. We had four on our game 😀

Uncharted 4 is due out on May 10, 2016. Read our full review of Nathan Drake’s final adventure here to see what we thought of Naughty Dog’s action-adventure sequel.
Set three years after the events of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Uncharted 4 picks up as Nate has settled into a regular 9-5 with his wife Elena, having retired as a fortune hunter. However, the reappearance of his older brother, Sam, who has got himself into a spot of financial crisis, sees Drake embarking on yet another globetrotting hunt for lost riches.
Naughty Dog has injected some fresh ideas into the Uncharted formula for this final outing however, including large-scale environments to explore, plus enhanced AI, brawling and stealth mechanics.
