Review: Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – Cinematic Storytelling PS4

Brom | December 3, 2019

A Warm Welcome Home.

I have not played on a PlayStation since 2005, A DualShock 4 controller is as alien to me as a flying monkey, and yet I found immediately muscle memory took over. Despite using Xbox controllers for much longer than DualShock Controllers I found the generational difference between PlayStation 1 era Duel Shock and PlayStation 4 era DualShock to be far less of a learning curve compared to Xbox Controllers and Xbox One Controllers.
