I actually bought Uncharted 1-3 for the PS3 back in 2015, but I disliked the arcade-style shooting in the first game and didn't play the other two games. But, being a fan of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us and having heard only good things about the studio's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (2016), I … Continue reading Low Expectations – I played God of War (2018) and Uncharted 4 (2016)
A truly great game is a game you will get mad at for different reasons.

Teer Fradee, the island where Spiders' latest game GreedFall is set, is a terrifying island.
