Indicative of how successful “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” is as a third-person shooter video game since its official rollout on May 10, the game continues to dominate the UK individual formats chart from the week of its release until the week ending June 18 or a total of six weeks already and counting.
It dominated the US all formats charts in May. In both charts, it is followed by Bethesda’s “Doom” for the PS4, the Xbox One, and the PC.
Critics believe that the game will continue to remain a chart-topper in the UK until a new third-person shooter video game comes out, which would not be happening anytime soon.
Less than one week after its official release, the game was generating mostly positive reviews from game critics, with most of them commending Naughty Dog for finally giving the franchise a rightful pace that seemed to have been missing during its first three iterations.
One reputable gaming critic Casey Newton even posted on his Twitter account that after all the delays that the game has been subjected to for several times in the past, “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” proved to be quite phenomenal.
He lauded the efforts of Naughty Dog for giving the game so many more character moments and much less mindless shootings, which were very prevalent in both “Uncharted 2” and “Uncharted 3.”
One gamer even detailed that he completed “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” in just under 13 hours spread across four sessions.
