It shucks much of the cynicism that infects the genre and just strives to be wide-eyed, glorious spectacle.

While Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a Vita launch title that feels very much like a launch title and while it’s a fourth installment in its series that feels more like an uncertain first attempt, it’s still Uncharted and that’s really all there is to say, but God knows that won't stop me from saying more.

But it has also been a hallmark of BioWare’s trademark ethical reductionism, a collection of sci-fi and army movie clichés, an assortment of unfocused and clearly made-up-as-we-went-along plots and gameplay mechanics, a fictional universe that still after all this time has a few glaring holes and a quintessence of ambition without modulation.

It’s hard to get past that its fundamental conceit is really just a modernist gimmick, but Chronicle still sidesteps a great deal of the superficiality of the superhero genre.
