6 Prequel Games That Didn’t Disappoint
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Here’s one I bet you haven’t thought of in a long time (RIP PS Vita). If Uncharted: Golden Abyss was a PlayStation 3 game, everybody would’ve played it and look upon it fondly. Now I’m not going to go and say this game is vital for everyone that liked the Uncharted series, or that it’s the best in the series (like I have for the other games on this list). Nonetheless, through and through it is a fantastic and fun Uncharted story.
It took advantage of all the tech on the PS Vita, making it a prime example of what could be possible on the platform, and showed that people were invested in having a deep single-player experience on a hand-held platform. The developers made it fun to use the Vita’s touch controls! Touch controls! I hate touch controls. The gun-play and traversal felt like a console Uncharted game and it gave us a fun throwaway adventure set in the world of Nathan Drake and expanded upon his personal story and characterization.
Nobody had any expectations for this game as it was trapped on a handheld console that didn’t quite know what generation of PlayStation it wanted to be. Yet it still managed to be a more than a serviceable Uncharted game.
