Good as a game, but fails as a companion app – UNCHARTED: Fortune Hunter™ Review

Gameplay is fun enough as a puzzler and everything works fine in that regard, but this is promoted as a companion to Uncharted 4 on PS4, purportedly allowing you to use rewards from the app to unlock items in the PS4 game. After a few days of trying to connect my PSN account to the app and sync my rewards, I’m giving it up as impossible and broken—even using the handful of workarounds found through web searching, the app simply won’t load the required page in-app and allow you to take advantage of these features. Perhaps part of the problem is that these games have been out for a few years now. Regardless, this app allows you to spend real money on boosters, and if part of the motivation to spend that money stems from one wanting to take advantage of the companion features, then it is inappropriate for the developer to abandon supporting the app with at least enough effort to maintain the cross-device landing page and syncing systems. If you’re here for the PS4 rewards, don’t waste your time, and certainly don’t spend real money in-app. If you just want a puzzle-based game with simple but fun mechanics, though, this at least gets that right.
