This is the final journey of Nathan Drake and his gang of treasure hunters, and what a journey it is. It is worth every minute that is spent in this fascinating world.
How long does it take to beat Uncharted 4?
Like the previous games, Uncharted 4 is around the 15 hour mark. Throughout this time you will consistently travel from location to location, battling constant enemies all while progressing the story long.
Throughout this story, the pace never seems to slow down. Naughty Dog sucks you into this world of thievery and adventure from the first frame, and you are invested until the very end.
If you would like to complete the game alone with some of the side questions, you can expect to spend around 17 hours in the game. There are treasures that are hidden in each level that add to the journey.
If you want to complete the game 100%, which includes finding every hidden treasure and achieving every trophy, then you can expect to spend over 28 hours into the game, though you would have a great sense of satisfaction from your achievement.
All in all, the game is the perfect length. It is long enough for you to become invested in the characters, but not so long that they wear our welcome. It tells its story perfectly and in the end leaves you wanting more, the sign of a good game.
