Played some more and chapter 8/9 is what I think this game is supposed to be and when that happens it is fun to play.
Especially things like shooting enemies while swinging from ropes, the climbing and overall decent gun play.
But so far I still think Rise of the Tomb Raider is better.
I think the big difference is that Uncharted 4 is entirely linear. There aren't any hidden Tombs(?) to find and what is hidden is often just a small branching path. You don't even have or need a map. Puzzles in Uncharted 4 are so far just 'figure this 1 thing out' while in Tomb Raider it is often multi-layered. Especially in Rise as the Russian base is basically designed as just one giant Tomb to comb through.
The 'ultimate' version of this type of game would be:
- Max Payne 3 gun play
- Tomb Raider Rise level / open-zone design
- Uncharted level set pieces / production values
