Uncharted Collection – review | The Guardian

Sometimes it's all in the execution. Fundamentally, the Uncharted games – re-released together here in anticipation of part three's arrival later this year – are risibly derivative boilerplate. Centred on the exploits of wisecracking treasure hunter Nathan Drake, they follow an Indiana Jones formula of shootouts, daredevil acrobatics and triple-crossing love interests, garnished with enough priceless antiquities to make Neil MacGregor giddy. These cliches are, however, delivered with such disarming amiability and impeccable attention to detail that they become not just forgivable but positively enjoyable. (PS3, Unchared 2:Among Thieves, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune) -

Yeah. People could just refer to the reviews of the games that were written when the games came out.

But no, apparently people are too dumb to do that.

I'm wondering what "risibly" means.

Interesting. I would have thought it was some sort of dig at, say, people of Asian cultures not being able to say certain vowels.
