HERMEN HULST
Guerrilla Games Personally, I feel that Uncharted 2:
Among Thieves still stands at the apex of videogame evolution. Playing it was such a game-changer for me – it got every beat right, from the pitch-perfect pacing of the action to the vibrant and beautifully designed environments. It also proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that great gameplay, cinematic-quality visuals and engrossing storytelling don’t need to be mutually exclusive qualities in a game. Other titles have reached equal levels of excellence since Uncharted 2 came out in 2009, but as far as I’m concerned none have managed to surpass it entirely.
