10 Best Set Pieces In Uncharted History

7. Burning Chateau (Uncharted 3)

One of the earliest set pieces in Uncharted 3, the burning Chateau is easily one of the most entertaining moments in the whole game.

Whereas Uncharted 2 had a focus on snow, this sequence showed that Uncharted 3 was taking on a new element - fire. Watching as the chateau crumbles in real time is easily one of the most impressive moments in the game technically, which is saying a lot when you get further down the list.

The only problem with the burning chateau is that it doesn’t really allow a lot of gameplay freedom and mostly focuses on seeing Nate and Sully run away from the fire in a very specific direction. Seeing something like this happen with Uncharted 4’s gameplay freedom would be a dream come true.

Although the set piece itself doesn’t quite live up to some of Uncharted 3’s more crazy situations, it’s still a brilliant start to the game and a fantastic moment in itself.
