It's hard for me to place what I didn't exactly jive with in the 3rd Uncharted game, but this wasn't an overly pleasant nor fun gaming experience.

Maybe it felt more over-the-top, or "been there, done that" as topping Uncharted 2 was a nigh impossible task. Perhaps it was the game's pacing feeling all over the place... Or the ending portion pissing me off, and the difficulty spikes and large swath of annoying enemies.

I just don't know... and having played it on release, and then never touching it again, it is hard for me to exactly remember what soured me on the game so much. I know that old IGN 10/10 review I read prior to release was a lie though... maybe that set the bar and expectations too high.

However, I will say, I really loved the opening part with young Nathan Drake and Sully. That short prologue section was 10/10 excellent... but outside of that and the plane portion, this was a relatively forgettable Uncharted experience.
