Uncharted Reimagined

Probably the very best videogame score I have ever listened to yet is Henry Jackman's work on Uncharted 4. With the beautiful graphics of the modern age and thrilling yet deep and emotional story, it achieves a cinematic sound and captures everything that was established in the previous installments. The delicate piano theme that highlights the very special bond of Nate and Elena as well as Nate's bond with his brother Sam and their difficult past. Yet, throughout the entire score, it is as hopeful and uplifting as the story. The beautifully crafted main theme captures the familiarity of the well-known original while adding a complexity, more sophisticated ring to it.

I always knew film composers wrote the best game music. Not once have I been disappointed. Lorne Balfe announced on Twitter a new project he is working on. But until then, enjoy some of my favorite tracks from Henry Jackman's masterpiece.
