Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Naughty Dog, the company responsible for excellent titles from platforms such as Crash Bandicoot or Jak & Daxter, opted to radically change direction with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It was an adventure influenced by Indiana Jones in the field of cinema and by Tomb Raider in the universe of video games.
The title, which hit stores in 2007, put us in the shoes of Nathan Drake, who eventually became one of the most iconic characters in the video game industry. Nate is an explorer, who begins the adventure rescuing the coffin of Sir Francis Drake. In the tomb was not the body of the mythical explorer, but a diary written by himself with clues to the location of El Dorado, a legendary city that, according to history, housed within it an immense fortune of gold. At the moment he was with Elena Fisher, a reporter who filmed all the exploits that Drake performed to give them authenticity, to gain a distinction in the ever confusing world of journalism. With them was also Victor Sullivan, better known as "Sully," Nate's companion. Together they form a team! Despite their differences, but these are the ones that guarantee the presence of humor. One big characteristic of the franchise.
Obviously, they are not the only ones behind this discovery. On the way, they cross with other treasure hunters like Gabriel Roman, who contracted the services of Navarro, leader of a band of mercenaries. A path in time for both parties with successive encounters.

There is a multitude of events such as the discovery a statue cursed inhabited the island. Who eventually was converted into mutant beings responsible for the death of Sir Francis Drake. Navarro already knew this, since his main objective was to sell the mutagenic agent as a weapon. After several shootings, Drake and Navarro end up facing each other in a boat. It all ends when the antagonist falls to the bottom of the sea with the statue he intended to steal. In this, Elena also ends up losing her camera with everything she had recorded so far. The journalist recalls Nathan Drake that this owes him a story.

The second entry was not long in coming due to the repercussions of the first chapter, having arrived in October 2009. The title laid the foundation for the future of the franchise, becoming the best game of the series.
Nathan Drake continues with his treasure-hunt life. This time he embarks on a trip to Istanbul with Harry Flynn, a former battling companion, and with Chloe Frazer, an ancient conquest. A mix of the most dangerous there can be. Together they arrive in the Turkish city to steal an object from a museum to a Serbian mercenary named Zoran Lazarevic. The three infiltrate and achieve their goal, eventually discovering the most precious secret of the legendary explorer Marco Polo. But when they find it, Flynn betrays his companions and runs away with the object. Activating the alarms and causing Drake to be locked up for three months in a Turkish prison until Sully rescues him. That said, the old acquaintances, along with Chloe, plan to withdraw the treasure to both Flynn and his client. The search takes them to different locations around the world. Among them is Nepal, where they meet again with Elena Fisher, the reporter who helped Nate in his adventure in El Dorado. She is on the spot working on an investigation into Zoran Lazarevic, joining the team in this way. Although he does not recognize it, Drake is in love with Elena, and it is Chloe that urges him to confess his feelings.
However, they eventually find the lost city of Shambhala along with Flynn and Lazarevic. Firstly, Flynn tries to wipe out Nate, Chloe, and Elena, but he can not, killing himself with a grenade and leaving the reporter hurt.
The final battle takes place at the very goal of the Serbian, the tree of life, where Lazarevic drinks of his resin obtaining supernatural powers. Still, Drake manages to beat him, leaving the dirty work to the creatures that inhabit that place.

The third installment of the saga seemed, by its title, that it would put an end to the trilogy in some way. But no, to the delight of the series lovers. This arrived in stores in 2011.
Nathan and Sully were in London, meeting with Talbot. Who is willing to pay a large sum of money for Drake's ring, which was of Sir Francis Drake and which was inscribed Sic Parvis Magna. In the middle of the negotiation, they discover that the money is false. And in this way, the protagonists are involved in a battle with a multitude of henchmen. Shortly after Talbot appears with his client, Katherine Marlowe, an old acquaintance of Sully, that collects the ring of Drake and shoots them.
The game then goes to the events of 20 years ago, showing the beginning of the story. With a younger Drake and already an expert in the art of theft, having stolen Sir Francis Drake's ring from a museum in Colombia. There he meets Sully, who says that the ring is key to the astrolabe to find something substantial that the explorer would have hidden in Arabia. Back in the present, we learn that the ring that Marlowe took was nothing more, nothing less than a replica. From here, Chloe rejoins the group.

The story is totally independent of what we have already lived through Drake to this day. In addition to being timeless in the chronology of the series, it still features several new characters, while several of the already known does not give the face in the adventure. Drake is once again in search of lost treasures, this time in forests and caves in Central America, accompanied by a new character, Jason Dante.
Some strange symbols need to be deciphered, and that's just the tip of the iceberg as far as the secrets of the region are concerned. Alongside Marisa Chase, who looks for her missing grandfather, we are led to fantastic discoveries that are part of the series' mythology. Things do not entirely turn out as expected, leading to the various plot unfolding that put Drake on the trail of the legendary town of Quivira. One of the seven cities of gold sought after by the French explorers of the seventeenth century.

Uncharted 4 could be the sequel to any of Nathan Drake's three adventures. Credits rise and, upon returning from the ruins of some lost civilization, Drake exchanges a life of adventure to live with Elena Fisher in the suburbs of some big city.

Nathan Drake's relationship with his brother Sam is the pillar of the story. Despite the separation of 15 years, and take the plot of "Uncharted" from the unidimensionality of before.

Obsessed, selfish, able to make decisions that do not prioritize those who love him the most. The journey of Drake and Sam lasts more than 15 chapters and goes through different parts of the globe, making "Uncharted 4" that excellent old-world tour in an exquisite menu of lush landscapes.

The Drake brothers depart from prison in Panama, pass through ravines in Scotland and reach the island, island of love, Madagascar. And although "Uncharted 4" does not have as emblematic moments as the other games (the derailed train of "Uncharted 2" remains unbeatable). It brings a very healthy balance of exploration and action, always keeping the level of both up there.
In the end, it’s hard not to love the game’s playable epilogue, one where you’re playing as Nathan and Elena’s daughter, Cassie. There’s no action. You simply wander around their beach house, play with your dog, and discover Nathan’s secret treasure cabinet. It has remnants of all his past adventures, from El Dorado to Avery’s treasure.

The relationship between Chloe and Nadine will evolve throughout the game, which will reflect both in history and in gameplay. Nadine, who plays a role similar to Sam in Uncharted 4, can help Chole during moments of combat. However, she will be more willing to help as the trust between the two grows.
Chloe has Indian descent but has not visited the country for years. So the story of the game will end up reflecting on the character's personal past, especially in her relationship with her father and cultural heritage. In India, Chloe has enlisted the services of mercenary Nadine Ross to help her find the legendary tusk of Ganesh. The son of Hindu god Shiva, who lost the tooth while defending his father's temple. The search had consumed Chloe's own father before claiming his life at the hands of bandits.
After a fight with Orca riding in a helicopter, the three bring the aircraft down and make the dying mercenary reveal what Asav purchased. A massive bomb he plans to detonate in the capital city and start the civil war. Orca pulls a gun on Nadine, but Sam saves her, allowing her to shoot Orca dead. Chloe convinces the others to help her stop the bomb. Commandeering a car, the three catch up to the train. Sam stays behind while the women hop on and fight through Asav's men. Seeing a switch that will turn the train away from the city, Chloe hops off while Nadine stays behind and, with Sam's help, turns the switch before going back for Nadine. The two make it to the engine car, where the bomb is, and fight Asav. Safe and with the Tusk in hand, Chloe and Nadine decide to go into business together. While Sam reacts with horror to their intentions to hand the tooth over to the Ministry of Culture, who likely will not pay them a lot of money.

All ready for the future of Uncharted after The Lost Legacy. Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells said it was "unlikely" that the studio would work on another franchise game. He did not wholly rule out the possibility but said the odds are small. Considering the team's plans with The Last of Us Part II and any other projects.
