Ranking Every Naughty Dog Game From Worst To Best
10. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Coming off the immaculate Uncharted 2, it was going to be very hard to end this particular trilogy in style, though Naughty Dog took it in a very experimental direction: Fleshing out Drake's past in an instalment that anywhere else, would've come right away.
This gave us a much younger Drake and a prime-of-life Sully, adding weight to their relationship that would culminate in a forced "death" of the latter, only to reveal they were alive all along. These aspects became emblematic of Uncharted 3 overall: A series of neat ideas, seemingly stitched together for the sake of manufacturing peril and consequence, despite the story itself never truly coming together.
In the end we were left with questions ranging from "Is Talbot secretly supernatural?!" to "Seriously, we're fighting gun-toting Djinns now?!" at the end, and though gunplay was tighter and better than ever, the actual meat of Uncharted 3 felt protracted and sadly, too much more of the same.
