Uncharted 3 is basically just a worse version of uncharted 2. While Uncharted 3 has more setpieces and more spectacle than 2, it came at the cost of the quality of the story. The story in Uncharted has never been anything to write home about but it was decent enough to get invested in thanks to the characters, but this game just feels so thoroughly confused that it's hard to get invested. Halfway through the game the story literally pivots and half of the characters (who were honestly pretty interesting to watch interact with each other) leave.

For being the 3rd game in the series on the same console one would hope that this game would be the one to create some changes to the core structure and maybe try to get more interactivity and reinvent the cinematic game once again, Uncharted 3 doesn't do any of this, which would be okay if it at least felt like a genuine improvement over uncharted 2 in some way.

While I have been taking a long dig at this game I will say I still like parts of it, the setpieces are all fun to go through, and the characters are still fun to watch in the short time they have. Thanks to all this I still find this a more enjoyable experience over Uncharted 1. Overall a pretty okay game that still has its fun.
