Sure, it looked kind of cool, but everything in the Uncharted series looks amazing, so why does that matter? I don’t know why Drake was in that plane, so I don’t really care that he fell out of it.
Historically, Naughty Dog only does one series per console - Crash Bandicoot on PS1 and Jak and Daxter on PS2 - so I thought Uncharted was going to be left behind to gather dust and become a relic itself.īy building Uncharted 3’s story around its set pieces it was done a great disservice. Wise-cracking treasure hunters were out, sad-dads were in. RELATED: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Was The Last Time Naughty Dog Wasn’t Afraid To Make Fun Of Itselfĭrake’s Deception was an unsatisfying finale when it launched originally, but Naughty Dog quickly moved on to The Last of Us and we forgot all about Nathan Drake. But compared to its siblings? It doesn’t measure up. If it were released back in 2011 as a stand-alone game it would have been great - it’s a solid action-adventure game with a fun story, some great set pieces, and impressive graphics. It’s the Bounty in a box of Celebrations, salad at a BBQ, the Filet-O-Fish at Mcdonald’s - it has to be there, but no one’s reaching for it first.
Sandwiched between the two of the best games Naughty Dog has ever made, Drake’s Deception never really stood a chance. But today marks the ten-year anniversary of the other Uncharted game in the series - Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, and I really don’t have much to say about it. The fourth game, A Thief’s End, is a perfect ending to the saga of Nathan Drake, delivering the same scale and thrills Among Thieves did while grounding Drake in a way that none of the other games have been able to. Its sequel, Among Thieves, is arguably one of the best games of its generation - it improves on everything the original contains and still holds up today.
