While the story doesn’t reach the cinematic heights of Among Thieves , it delivers all the hallmarks of the franchise: witty banter, treacherous climbing sequences, and explosive set-pieces. Bend Studio successfully compressed the “Uncharted formula” into a handheld format without sacrificing the core experience. The pacing is brisk, and the inclusion of collectible “treasures” (many utilizing the Vita’s touchscreen for detailed inspection) adds significant replay value. From a technical standpoint, Golden Abyss is a miracle. The game runs on a modified version of the Naughty Dog engine, and it shows. Character models, lighting, and environmental detail punch far above the Vita’s weight class. The use of the OLED screen (on the original 1000 model) makes the lush jungles and sun-drenched ruins pop with a vibrancy that even some PS3 games struggled to match.
If you own a Vita and love cinematic platformers, do yourself a favor: dig up this golden relic. Just be prepared to wipe the mud off your screen.

Tasked by his old flame, Chase, to uncover the secrets of a 16th-century Spanish expedition, Nate must outwit both a ruthless guerrilla leader (General Roberto Guerro) and a corrupt ex-government agent.
