Uncharted 3 is an odd one. After dropping Drakes Fortune because it was boring and loving Among Thieves, Drakes Deception isn't a bad game per se but has several weird issues that hold it back from being a good game. Main issues I have are some truly trash main villians and some of the worst fights in the series. So much of the second half is a fucking slog because of insane enemy spawns coupled with the general sponginess even in Normal. On the subject of villians I think the idea of Marlowe and Talbot are interesting ideas for villians (being somewhat parallel to Drake and Sully) but at the same time lack real presence and even focus for a majority of the runtime. All that being said Drake's Deception still had the occasional fun setpiece and story beats to make it a somewhat enjoyable ride (finale also went kinda hard). Can't say I disliked it fully but I'll also never come back to it.

6/10
