Naughty Dog must have realized that the PS4’s base includes a lot of Xbox 360 converts, so the game’s first 2-to-3 hours act as both an extended tutorial and series recap. It’s an unusually slow start, but things get rolling from both a narrative and gameplay perspective once Drake and his crew head to Italy. After that, the game goes all over the world with its trademarked blend of shooting, exploring, climbing and puzzles.

Competitive multiplayer is spread across three game types: Capture, Meltdown and Incursion. The first one will be instantly familiar. There are three zones; capture and hold them to earn points — the more you hold the faster you score.

Abaddon the Despoiler has arrived in the Gothic sector for vague reasons, and it’s up to the Imperial Navy to stop him. The basic plot setup is perhaps on the simple side, but there’s actually a fair amount of intrigue as things ramp up. While the central conflict is between the Imperial and Chaos factions, the Eldar and Orks are also present to give things a bit of variety.
