Video Game Tourism E02: Vistas, Gaps, and Thieves: Drake’s Search for Inner Peace

Posted by Gerald on

In the second episode of Video Game Tourism, I wish to share with you my personal moments from Uncharted 4 (Naughty Dog, 2016) as I accompany Nathan Drake on his search for inner peace–and on the more tortu(r)ous route he takes until he finally discovers the treasure he so desperately has been searching for.

Nate makes his way to a private party he was not invited for.
