3. Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
While the series grows better between entries, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2 was too good to be demoted by Drake’s Deception. That doesn’t mean that the third game in the series wasn’t anything short of amazing. Uncharted 3 got Nathan Drake looking better than ever and on an important adventure to find the Iram of Pillars, another location pulled straight out of history.
While the first and second entries went to the jungle and frozen tundras, this one took us to the dry lands of the desert in the Middle East. Set pieces in Uncharted 3 became iconic to the franchise, specifically the plane scene where Nathan Drake battles the beautiful, deserted landscape of the dry Arabian sea.
Despite being a top notch game, Drake’s Deception did have its downsides. It seemed that in Uncharted 3’s story lacked the dramatic strengths of its predecessor, making the game feel a little more boring and generic in comparison. In the end, Uncharted 3 didn’t live up to the utter peak that was Uncharted 2.
