Platinum #36

Completed Uncharted: Golden Abyss in just under two weeks. The bulk of the trophies are typical Uncharted fare; weapon kills, treasure collection, hand to hand combat, and the hard and crushing playthroughs. There were also a couple Vita specific trophies, like using the back touchpad to climb a rope, and finally the new addition to the trophy family were the pain in the butt bounty trophies. None were super difficult, though, and I am pleased to have all 4 Uncharted platinums in my collection now.
Golden Abyss is probably the weakest game in the franchise, but undoubtedly one of the best the Vita currently has to offer. I found myself continuously impressed at the animations, character detail, overall visuals and size of the levels. It's pretty incredible what the Vita can do in terms of having power. The story was merely all right, and the dialogue ran from acceptable to silly. My favorite parts were the chapters that included Sully. They made me want to play the console games again, honestly. Overall, a very enjoyable Vita experience and one I easily recommend to series fans.
Enjoyability: 7/10
Platinum difficulty: 3/10
