Honestly, U4 feels like a victim of TLoU's success, and shows Druckmann really isn't the right fit for that franchise. While the charaters are giving a level a depth they never had before, the dialoge lacks the punch and wit of the previous games. It also has what now appears to be the patented Neil Druckmann slow hour long intro, where we get three false starts before the game actually begins. For TLoU this works well enough being a much slower paced game, but this is Uncharted - get the lead out. Also, notes in an Uncharted game... another thing that fit very well in TLoU but just bogs down Nate running, gunning, and jumping through the scenery.
Thankfully The Lost Legacy got rid of all of that, and it's a much snappier game because of it.
