and fluid animations that could have easily come from a new Naughty Dog release. My session culminated in a hectic chase that had the protagonist sprinting down corridors as enemies closed in, leaping over collapsing floorboards, dodging incoming arrows, and even vaulting over a table carried by some merchants. It's the kind of antics that you would expect from Nathan Drake, and I very much mean that as a good thing.
