How this score was computed
The VGC Score is a weighted blend on a press-comparable 0-100 quality scale. Steam approval rates are first calibrated (95% positive on Steam ≈ 89.5 quality, since Steam approval skews high). Press and tracked creator reviews each count ~2x a player review and share one cap against player evidence (creator buy/skip calls pool into an approval rate, calibrated like Steam approval); all-time sentiment is capped and halved (it's context, not verdict); reviews of the current build carry the most weight when a fresh patch anchors the window; and a 'typical game' prior keeps small samples from pegging the scale. Because press reviews and Metacritic user aggregates describe the launch build, their weight decays as the game ages (3-year half-life after a 1-year grace). That's how a game that launched rough can outgrow its old reception once updates win players over. Reviews under 2h playtime (the refund window), non-Steam activations, and free copies are downweighted.

“If you were already a fan of the series, this remastered bundle will be worth picking up. Those who are a bit more cynical, as I was, may very well find themselves surprised by the time they’ve slogged through all three of them. Pleasantly so.”

“This is the best kind of remaster: a lovingly crafted technical update that's also a master class on how a developer can evolve ideas.”

“Overall it’s a very good package and the best way to prepare for Uncharted 4 if you missed something during the PS3 era.”

“This review covers all three games individually with an average score of about 5 out of 10. Mediocre cover shooter with a charming but shallow story. It's not awful but does nothing particularly interesting. If you gotta play one of the games, stick with the second one.”

“We've seen many remasters, but when it comes to tech aspects, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is among the best. Even if it lacks multiplayer and Golden Abyss, it is an impeccable piece of work. ”

“Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is probably the best PS4 remaster thus far, and the system's had more than enough of them to give that statement weight.”

“The three Uncharted titles are still as fun as ever, but now they are more enjoyable at 1080p and 60fps. Bluepoint Games also added a few new game modes and graphical enhancements. All in all, this is a great package, but we find the lack of multiplayer somewhat disappointing.”

“The Nathan Drake Collection is worth playing, even if we've already finished the games on PlayStation 3. It's a perfect remaster that enhances not only resolution, but also every other aspect of the games - with benefits for the players.”

“The Nathan Drake Collection is a firsthand account of Naughty Dog's growth as a storyteller, and this collection is the best way to relive that history, and witness its transformation up close.”

“Nathan Drake breathes Adventure with a capital ‘A’. That’s why the collection is a must-have for anyone who’s never played the original games before. A godly trio on just one disc. [Sept. 2015, p. 064]”

“An excellent remaster of three of the PlayStation 3’s best looking games, but none of them have aged quite as gracefully as you might expect.”
